Infected Mind by Dead By Dawn Genetics
Indica-Sativa Hybrid
Infected Mind is a hybrid cultivar from Dead By Dawn Genetics, bred to offer a balanced experience. This strain is characterized by its dense trichome coverage and robust aroma profile, aiming for a nuanced psychoactive and physical effect.
Appearance
Well-cultivated Infected Mind typically features dense, medium-sized buds with a balanced structure. A heavy coating of glandular trichomes gives the flower a frosted appearance, with visible, bulbous heads under magnification. Pistils transition from vibrant tangerine to copper or rust tones against pale to olive-green bracts. In cooler conditions, subtle violet hues may appear on sugar leaves or bract tips.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Infected Mind is a complex blend of earthy, musky notes with bright citrus and pine undertones. As the buds are broken apart, initial volatile scents deepen into hints of sweet herbal tea, black pepper, and occasionally faint mint or eucalyptus. The flavor follows the aroma, leading with lemon-lime and pine on the palate, followed by earthy, sweet herbal, and peppery notes, finishing with a cooling sensation.
Effects
Infected Mind is noted for its balanced head-and-body experience. The name suggests a cerebral component, which manifests as a mind-forward lift that can encourage creativity. This is complemented by a soothing physical sensation that provides grounding, resulting in a nuanced psychoactive profile that persists for several hours depending on dosage and individual tolerance.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data varies, Infected Mind is generally reported to contain THC levels between 18% and 26%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is layered, often including myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics. These compounds work synergistically to shape the strain's overall sensory and psychoactive effects.
Cultivation
From a cultivation perspective, Infected Mind is described as a balanced hybrid that responds well to training and requires attentive environmental control for optimal results. Indoors, growers can achieve high-density flower with significant frost. Outdoors, it thrives in warm, temperate climates with consistent airflow and diligent pest management to protect its resinous colas. The plant typically exhibits moderate stretch during flowering.
Origins & Lineage
Infected Mind was developed by Dead By Dawn Genetics, a breeder known for distinctive, horror-themed cultivar names and a focus on resin production. As a modern hybrid, its lineage is indica-sativa, aiming to combine traits from both classic families. While the exact parental cross is not publicly disclosed, its characteristics suggest influences from foundational lines like Skunk, Kush, Haze, or Cookies, selected for dense trichomes, layered aromas, and complex psychoactivity.
