Slippery Susan
Grease Monkey × Tina
Slippery Susan is a modern indica hybrid celebrated for its dense, resin-coated flowers and a complex aroma blending gas and dessert notes. It is often regarded as a potent evening cultivar, delivering significant euphoria and a deeply relaxing sensation that can be managed at moderate doses.
Appearance
This strain produces dense, compact buds that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted, sugar-like appearance. The flowers typically display shades of green, sometimes with hints of lavender or deep purple, and are adorned with tightly curled, saffron to copper pistils. Its high resin content makes the buds sticky to the touch.
Aroma & Flavor
Slippery Susan presents a layered aroma dominated by jet fuel and diesel notes, complemented by sweeter undertones of vanilla frosting, peanut brittle, and cream. Upon grinding, hints of chocolate and earthy forest floor emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with a smooth, creamy inhale that transitions into gassy, peppery notes on the exhale, often finishing with hints of cocoa and spice.
Effects
Users often report a fast onset of effects, leading to profound euphoria and a heavy, relaxing sensation that can induce a couch-lock state at higher doses. Despite its potent body effects, some users find it can maintain a degree of mental clarity at moderate consumption levels, potentially fostering creativity and focus. It is generally considered a potent evening strain.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Chemically, Slippery Susan frequently exhibits dominant beta-caryophyllene and limonene, supported by myrcene and humulene. THC levels typically range from 20% to 28%, with some phenotypes reaching higher concentrations. CBD content is usually less than 1%, often below 0.5%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG may be present in small amounts.
Origins & Lineage
Developed in the late 2010s, Slippery Susan is often attributed to Exotic Genetix. It is commonly reported as a cross between Grease Monkey (Gorilla Glue #4 x Cookies and Cream) and Tina (an OG-heavy strain). This lineage combines the resin density of Gorilla Glue #4, the sweetness of Cookies and Cream, and the robust fuel and earthy notes of OG genetics.
Cultivation
Slippery Susan typically grows into a medium-tall plant with vigorous lateral branching and a moderate stretch post-flip. It develops long, dense colas with calyx-forward bud formation. The strain is noted for its high resin production, making it attractive for concentrate extraction. Flowering time is standard for hybrids, and it requires careful attention to humidity during curing to preserve its aromatic qualities.
