Super Hog by Riot Seeds
Indica genetics
Super Hog is an indica-dominant strain developed by Riot Seeds, recognized for its robust characteristics and complex sensory experience. Bred over two years using a blend of traditional and experimental techniques, it aims to provide a superior indica-dominant effect with a refined flavor profile.
Appearance
Super Hog exhibits dense, compact buds characteristic of indica genetics. These buds often display deep emerald green coloration, sometimes with vibrant purple accents, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating a rich cannabinoid and terpene content. The pistils typically mature from bright orange to deep red.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Super Hog is layered, starting with a dominant earthy and musky scent. This is complemented by subtle spicy and herbal notes, with hints of pine and a touch of sweetness. Upon consumption, the flavor mirrors the aroma, presenting a deep earthy taste with spicy undertones. Citrus notes emerge as the smoke settles, balancing the herbal base, leading to a lingering sweet aftertaste.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the provided notes beyond general indica traits, the strain's indica dominance suggests it is likely to produce calming and potentially euphoric sensations. Its genetic background, rooted in classic indica varieties known for sedative properties, points towards a predominantly relaxing experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses have identified key terpenes contributing to Super Hog's profile, including Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. The strain is noted for its high THC content, with some reported iterations showing levels between 22% and 28% under optimal conditions, though the specific range for this entry is noted as 10-15% THC and less than 1% CBD. The genetic makeup suggests a predominantly indica composition (over 70% indica, less than 30% sativa).
Origins & Lineage
Super Hog was bred by Riot Seeds over a development period exceeding two years, involving careful selection and stabilization. It is primarily an indica-dominant hybrid, with its lineage rooted in classic indica genetics chosen for robust growth, resilience, and high resin production. The strain's name reflects its strong growth characteristics.
Cultivation Notes
Super Hog is noted for its consistency in flowering time and resistance to common pests. Its indica-dominant genetics make it particularly well-suited for indoor cultivation where environmental conditions can be precisely controlled. The strain is known to produce impressive yields and has a reputation for stable traits across different climates.
