Lily Koi is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Oregon Green Seed. Emerging from early 2000s breeding programs, it is recognized for its strong indica characteristics, robust structure, and appealing sensory qualities. The strain is a product of meticulous genetic curation aimed at delivering both a potent experience and a refined aroma and flavor.
Appearance
Lily Koi buds are notable for their dense, compact structure, a hallmark of its indica heritage. They are typically coated in thick, shimmering trichomes. The coloration often features deep greens, sometimes interspersed with purple or golden hues. The leaves are characteristically broad, and the buds exhibit a tight formation, reflecting the strain's stable genetic background.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Lily Koi is a complex blend, combining earthy and musky notes with sweet floral undertones, often compared to lily flowers. A subtle spiciness and herbal freshness are also present. Upon consumption, the flavor follows suit, presenting a harmonious mix of sweet, earthy, and herbal tastes, with a lingering aftertaste often described as similar to a balanced herbal tea.

The cannabinoid content is characterized by approximately 18% THC and less than 1% CBD, indicating a primarily psychoactive potency.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Oregon Green Seed, Lily Koi originated from breeding experiments in the early 2000s. The strain was created by combining desirable traits from classic indica varieties, with a focus on achieving a unique sensory profile and robust plant structure. Detailed genetic analysis suggests a high percentage of indica dominance, estimated between 70-80%, achieved through careful selection and refinement.
