Scotti Faced
Biscotti × Face Off OG descendant
Scotti Faced is a hybrid cultivar celebrated for its blend of sweet, dessert-like aromas and pungent, OG-inspired notes. It typically presents as an indica-leaning hybrid, offering a nuanced sensory experience and a relaxing physical effect.
Appearance
Scotti Faced commonly features medium-dense, compact flowers that resemble golf balls or eggs. The buds display prominent calyxes with minimal leaf material, often exhibiting deep green hues with potential streaks of purple, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures late in flowering. Vibrant copper to orange pistils are nestled within a dense coating of trichomes.
The resin layer appears granular and frosted, with trichome heads that mature early, indicating robust terpene production. These trichomes often present as plentiful and uniform under magnification. The cured buds are visually appealing, retaining their definition and structure.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Scotti Faced is characterized by an initial wave of sweet, bakery-like notes, evoking almond biscotti and vanilla glaze, quickly followed by a complex layer of pine resin and diesel fuel. A subtle undertone of black pepper, nutmeg, and earthy chocolate can also be detected. Grinding the flower intensifies these aromas, often revealing citrus rind notes like lemon oil or orange zest balanced by a doughy base.
The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, starting with a sweet, doughy taste that gives way to pine, black pepper, and clean fuel notes. When vaporized at lower temperatures, bright citrus and sugary crust flavors are prominent, while higher temperatures reveal earthier, diesel characteristics. Combustion results in a denser, more OG-forward taste with pine and spice undertones.
Effects
Scotti Faced typically delivers a hybrid high that begins with a bright onset before settling into a predominantly relaxing physical sensation. Users often report a significant body-softening effect, leading to a state of deep relaxation.
While primarily known for its relaxing properties, some users experience an uplifted mood alongside the physical calm. The indica-leaning nature of the strain suggests it is well-suited for unwinding and de-stressing.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Scotti Faced commonly tests within the mid-to-high THC range, often falling between 19-22% THC, with total cannabinoid content ranging from 22-30%. CBD levels are generally negligible, typically below 1%. Minor cannabinoids such as CBG may be present in small amounts.
The terpene profile is complex, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor. Dominant terpenes often include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, and Humulene, which collectively create the strain's signature sweet, gassy, and piney bouquet.
Growing
Scotti Faced is generally considered an indica-leaning hybrid that flowers within 8-9 weeks. It typically exhibits relatively tight internodes and moderate stretch during the initial flowering period. The plant structure is characterized by prominent calyx stacking and a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, which aids in hand-trimming. High resin density is a notable characteristic, with trichome heads often appearing bulbous and short-stalked.
Optimal environmental control is recommended for maximizing aromatic output and cannabinoid potency. Growers often utilize living soil or coco coir systems. The strain is known for producing dense, trichome-heavy buds, rewarding careful cultivation with high bag appeal.
Origins & Lineage
Scotti Faced is a modern hybrid cultivar resulting from intentional crosses designed to combine dessert-style genetics with potent OG lineages. Its name reflects a blend of popular trends, nodding to Gelato-cookie type strains and the Face Off OG family.
While specific breeder data can be scarce, common lineage theories suggest a cross between Biscotti and a Face Off OG descendant, such as Face Off OG itself or Animal Face. This combination aims to retain the sweet, confectionary aromatics of Biscotti while incorporating the vigor, potency, and pungent, pine-forward characteristics of the OG lines.
