Magic Marker by Seed Junky Genetics
RS11 × Permanent Marker
Magic Marker is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by Seed Junky Genetics. It is known for its distinctive aroma, reminiscent of marker ink, layered over sweet sherbet and berry notes. This balanced hybrid offers an experience that can be both uplifting and relaxing depending on the dosage.
Appearance
Magic Marker typically yields dense, medium-sized buds with a high concentration of trichomes. The flowers often display a mix of green hues, sometimes accented with deep purples, and feature prominent apricot or tangerine pistils. The abundant resin production gives the buds a sticky, frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Magic Marker is characterized by a sharp, chemical-like top note, often compared to marker ink or solvent, underpinned by a sweet base of sherbet and berry. Upon grinding, scents of gas and cream emerge, with tropical undertones. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting an initial inky pop that transitions into a blend of sweet sherbet, creamy berries, and a hint of floral spice.
Effects
This hybrid strain can provide an upbeat and creative experience at lower doses. At higher concentrations, it may induce a deeply relaxing sensation. The balanced nature of Magic Marker makes it suitable for various consumption preferences.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Magic Marker is noted for its high terpene content, often exceeding 2% by weight in premium batches. Key terpenes reported include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene. The THC content typically ranges from 22% to 29%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Seed Junky Genetics, Magic Marker is a cross between RS11 (Rainbow Sherbert 11) and Permanent Marker. This lineage was developed to enhance sweet, creamy sherbet aromatics and introduce a distinct "marker" top note. Permanent Marker itself gained significant recognition, winning Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year.
Cultivation
Magic Marker is known for producing dense, uniform buds with excellent resin production, making it desirable for extraction. Growers have reported success in cultivating this strain, with its structure supporting a clean, well-formed appearance. Proper environmental controls are important for optimal development and to manage its potent aroma during the late flowering stages.
