Highway 95 Mohave
Unknown
Highway 95 by Mohave is an indica-dominant hybrid cultivar named in honor of the U.S. Route 95 highway. This strain is recognized for its potent THC content and a distinctive aroma profile that blends diesel and citrus notes. It is a proprietary selection by Mohave, developed to align with their brand identity and regional heritage.
Appearance
Highway 95 typically presents dense, compact flowers with a stacked calyx structure and spear-shaped colas. The buds are often a deep forest green, with occasional lavender hues appearing if exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. They are characterized by abundant trichome coverage, giving the flowers a frosty, glassy appearance, complemented by orange to copper pistils.
The plant structure is noted for dense buds that require adequate airflow. Nug size can vary from medium to large depending on cultivation practices, with well-trained plants capable of producing long, cohesive colas. Proper trimming preserves the trichome fields, contributing to the strain's visual appeal and potency.
Aroma and Flavor
Upon opening, Highway 95 releases a prominent diesel aroma underscored by bright citrus notes. Further inspection reveals an earthy and peppery core, with hints of pine and herbal undertones that become more apparent after grinding. The aroma is often described as a combination of fuel-like sharpness and citrus brightness.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, featuring a dominant blend of citrus and diesel, often accompanied by peppery and herbal tastes. Secondary notes can include hints of lavender and a general earthiness. The complexity of the aroma and flavor is enhanced by the strain's terpene profile, with grinding significantly amplifying the bouquet.
Effects
Highway 95 is described as a high-potency flower that delivers balanced hybrid effects, suitable for both recreational use and evening relaxation. While specific effects are not detailed, its indica-dominant classification suggests a tendency towards calming and potentially sedating qualities, balanced by a lively top note.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain is known for its high THC content, typically ranging from 20% to 28%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is commonly dominated by Myrcene, Limonene, and Beta-Caryophyllene, with contributions from Pinene and Humulene also noted. This combination contributes to its characteristic diesel, citrus, and peppery aromatic and flavor notes.
Origins and Lineage
Highway 95 is a proprietary indica-dominant hybrid cultivar developed by Mohave. Its lineage has not been officially disclosed, but its sensory profile suggests a genetic background possibly including Kush or Chemdog families, crossed with a bright, limonene-rich strain. The name is a tribute to U.S. Route 95 and Mohave's desert roots in Arizona, Nevada, and California.
