Time Machine
Do-Si-Dos × Gelato #41 × Animal Mints × Bubba Kush
Time Machine is best understood as a curated family of dessert-leaning hybrid cultivars rather than a single strain. It typically features classic California genetics, offering consumers a consistent experience with balanced effects and rich, dessert-adjacent aromas. This approach highlights the brand's selection of reliable hybrids known for potency and approachable effects.
Appearance
Buds associated with the Time Machine lineup are generally dense and heavily coated in trichomes, often appearing compact and resinous. They tend to be spade-shaped with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, resulting in a clean presentation. Colors can vary, often displaying deep greens or purples, complemented by orange pistils and a frosty layer of trichomes, indicative of high resin production.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is diverse, often described as dessert-forward with notes of sweet cream, berry, and baked goods, layered over earthy and spicy undertones. Some phenotypes may also exhibit minty, coffee, or even faint skunky or gas-like scents. Flavors on the palate frequently mirror the aroma, with creamy fruit, dough, and a hint of pepper on the exhale.
Effects
Time Machine is noted for delivering a balanced experience, often beginning with a cerebral lift that gradually transitions into a sense of calm and relaxation. Consumers report feelings of euphoria and mental engagement, suitable for unwinding or creative pursuits. The effects are generally described as approachable, providing a pleasant uplift without being overly sedating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This hybrid typically contains around 20% THC and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often rich, with dominant notes of caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool. Other terpenes like myrcene and humulene may also be present, contributing to the complex aroma and flavor, as well as the nuanced effects experienced.
Origins & Lineage
Time Machine itself is a brand label encompassing various hybrid cultivars, frequently including Dolato and Kush Mints. Dolato is a cross of Do-Si-Dos and Gelato #41, known for its dessert-like qualities and indica-leaning calm. Kush Mints is often linked to Animal Mints and Bubba Kush, offering minty, creamy notes with a euphoric onset.
