Kickass by Dr Grows Productions
Nepal × Super Skunk × Guide Dawg × Unknown Strain
Kickass is a predominantly indica cannabis cultivar developed by Dr. Grow's Productions, noted for its dense structure and a complex aroma profile. It offers a potent yet clear-headed experience, often favored for evening use that allows for continued creative engagement.
Appearance
Kickass exhibits a stout, indica-typical growth pattern with broad, overlapping leaflets. Its flowers are dense and calyx-forward, forming substantial colas. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, with coloration ranging from lime to forest green, occasionally showing purple accents. Orange to copper pistils provide a visual contrast.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Kickass is characterized by a foundational skunk and damp earth scent, overlaid with notes of black pepper and a hint of grapefruit zest. Underlying spice, reminiscent of chai, and sandalwood are also present. Upon breaking apart the flowers, a layered bouquet emerges, blending savory and citrus elements, with hints of rosemary and bay leaf. The flavor profile is resinous and complex, starting with black pepper and molasses, followed by a skunky taste that transitions to a lingering citrus note, like grapefruit or sweet orange, on the exhale.
Effects
Kickass delivers a heavy but lucid stone, balancing comfort with mental clarity. It is often described as a strain suitable for evening consumption that can still support creative focus in measured doses. Users may experience a sense of relaxation often associated with indica strains, but without significant sedation, allowing for a more functional experience.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific laboratory data can be scarce for boutique strains, Kickass is understood to possess a terpene profile rich in myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. These contribute to its characteristic aroma and flavor notes, including earthy, peppery, and citrus undertones. Cannabinoid content typically falls within the 15-25% THC range, with minimal CBD presence.
Origins and Lineage
Bred by Dr. Grow's Productions, Kickass is a mostly indica cultivar resulting from a cross involving Nepalese genetics and a hybrid containing Super Skunk and an unknown strain, along with Guide Dawg. This lineage suggests a blend of traditional indica traits from Nepal, the pungent and rapid-flowering characteristics of Super Skunk, and potentially sharper notes from Chem-family influences.
Cultivation Notes
Kickass is noted for its robust indica architecture, characterized by dense flowers and heavy trichome production. It responds well to training techniques and typically exhibits strong apical dominance. Growers report good resin yields, making it suitable for extraction. The flowering period is generally consistent with indica-dominant hybrids, and its structure is considered manageable for indoor cultivation.
