N95 by Nerds Genetics
Data × (unspecified heritage strains)
N95 is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Nerds Genetics, recognized for its potent effects and distinct sensory profile. This strain combines modern breeding innovation with a focus on the relaxing properties characteristic of indica genetics.
Appearance
N95 buds are characterized by their dense, compact structure, adorned with deep forest-green leaves that may display purple hues under cooler temperatures. A generous coating of trichomes gives the nugs a frosted, crystalline appearance, complemented by pistils that mature from bright orange to a deep burnt sienna.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of N95 is notably pungent and earthy, with distinct undertones of diesel and spice, alongside a subtle hint of sweet vanilla. Its flavor profile mirrors this complexity, offering initial notes of resin and lemon zest that evolve into a rich, earthy foundation with hints of pine and spice.
Effects
This strain is known to induce a sense of calm, often accompanied by cerebral effects. Its indica dominance suggests a potential for relaxation and is frequently sought after for evening use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
N95 typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 20% to 26%, with CBD content below 1%. Key terpenes identified include myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene. Myrcene and caryophyllene are often dominant, contributing to the strain's sedative and spicy characteristics, while limonene and pinene add citrus and pine notes.
Growing
Cultivators can expect a resilient strain with uniform growth patterns, characteristic of its indica heritage. The dense bud structure and high resin content are indicators of its potency and aromatic complexity. Visual cues like bud color and trichome density are noted as reliable indicators for optimal harvest timing.
Origins
Developed by Nerds Genetics and introduced in 2018, N95 is the result of intensive selective breeding focused on maximizing the relaxing and medicinal qualities of indica genetics. It is approximately 80-85% indica-dominant, with a lineage that includes high-potency heritage strains known for robust growth.
