Rare Danknesss
Ghost OG × Neville's Wreck × Skywalker OG × Poison OG × Triangle Kush
Rare Dankness is a family of high-performance cannabis cultivars developed by a Colorado seed company specializing in enhancing elite, clone-only genetics. Their breeding focuses on preserving legendary strains and recombining them to achieve superior resin production, potency, and terpene expression.
Appearance and Morphology
These strains typically exhibit OG-heavy plant structures, characterized by medium height, stout branching, and closely spaced nodes that support dense, large flower clusters. The leaves are generally broad with a dark, waxy appearance, though some phenotypes influenced by haze genetics may show slightly narrower leaflets. Mature flowers often feature a significant calyx stack with minimal small leaves, which contributes to easier trimming and a more appealing presentation.
Coloration can vary based on genetics and environmental conditions. Some OG-dominant crosses maintain green hues, while others develop pronounced purple coloration when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final stages of growth. This purple shift is often more noticeable in crosses involving grape-like or Poison OG genetics. Contrasting orange to amber pistils stand out against the dark calyxes, particularly after a slow drying and curing process.
Aroma and Flavor
Rare Dankness cultivars are celebrated for their intense and complex aromatic profiles, often described as loud. Common scent notes include fuel, citrus, pine, and grape candy, with underlying earthy and herbal undertones. The flavor experience frequently mirrors the aroma, delivering a palate of sweet candy, bright citrus, pungent diesel, and floral or herbal nuances.
Effects
The effects of Rare Dankness strains are primarily characterized by a cerebral lift, often providing an uplifting and energetic experience. While specific effects can vary by phenotype and individual consumption, the focus is generally on a mentally stimulating and potent outcome.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
These cultivars are bred for significant terpene impact, with profiles frequently featuring dominant Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Myrcene. Strains with a strong Haze influence may also exhibit Terpinolene. The THC content typically ranges from 15% to 25%, with some exceptionally potent batches testing higher, while CBD levels are generally below 1%.
Growing Characteristics
Growers often praise Rare Dankness strains for their vigor and ease of cultivation, particularly their OG-structured plants that respond well to training techniques. They are known for producing dense flowers with heavy trichome coverage, making many selections suitable for concentrate production. The plants generally possess strong stems and tight internodal spacing, which can lead to improved yields and efficient trimming.
Origins and Lineage
Rare Dankness is a Colorado-based seed company dedicated to enhancing elite, clone-only cannabis genetics. Their breeding program focuses on stabilizing and improving renowned genetics from the past three decades, particularly OG Kush and Ghost OG derivatives. This approach aims to increase resin production, potency, and terpene expression in their modern cultivars.
Key crosses often incorporate Ghost OG, such as in Ghost Train Haze (Ghost OG x Neville's Wreck) and Rare Dankness #1. These foundational genetics are frequently combined with haze, grape, or skunk components to broaden the flavor spectrum and modulate the effects. The company's work has led to the popularization of several strains known for their potent OG-forward profiles with distinct flavor characteristics.
