Ivory
The White × Triangle Kush × OG Kush
Ivory is a contemporary hybrid recognized for its dense trichome coverage, giving its buds a distinct frosted or ivory-like appearance. Emerging in regional markets since the late 2010s, it is often characterized as a balanced hybrid, offering a composed experience suitable for relaxation without heavy sedation.
Appearance
Ivory is distinguished by its abundant trichome production, which coats the buds in a pale, frosty sheen reminiscent of its name. The buds are typically dense and compact, often described as golf ball or egg-shaped, with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio. Coloration can range from lime to forest green, sometimes with subtle lavender or aubergine hues, contrasted by peach to orange pistils, all contributing to a high-contrast, visually striking appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Ivory is often described as a blend of peppery herbal notes with a creamy undertone. Specific scent profiles can include hints of black pepper, lemon, and sometimes sweet vanilla or floral nuances. Flavors commonly mirror the aroma, presenting a combination of citrus, cream, and earthy or herbal tastes, with some variants offering dessert-like accents.
Effects
Ivory is generally regarded as a balanced hybrid that provides a medium-intensity effect. Consumers often report a clear-headed experience that promotes focus and relaxation without leading to significant couchlock or sedation. This profile makes it suitable for end-of-day unwinding while maintaining mental activity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages vary, Ivory typically contains THC levels between 15-25% and less than 1% CBD. Key terpenes often associated with this strain include Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, contributing to its citrus, peppery, and floral aromatic qualities. Pinene and Humulene may also be present, influencing the overall scent and effect profile.
Origins & Lineage
Ivory is a modern hybrid that has appeared in various markets since the late 2010s, often associated with 'White' family genetics known for high trichome density, or sometimes with OG Kush lines. Because it is not a single standardized cultivar, different phenotypes may exist, sometimes labeled as Ivory OG or The Ivory, with variations influenced by regional breeders and specific genetic interpretations.
Growing Information
Ivory is noted for its high trichome production, making it attractive for concentrate extraction. Growing characteristics can vary between phenotypes; some exhibit balanced vigor, while others, particularly OG-leaning variants, may stretch more during flowering. Flowering times are generally within the typical range for hybrids, often between 56 to 65 days indoors. The strain is appreciated for its visual appeal and strong resin yield.
