Triangle Choke by Tarantula Genetics
Unknown Sativa × Unknown Indica
Triangle Choke is a sativa-dominant strain developed by Tarantula Genetics in the late 2010s, noted for its high potency and distinctive sensory profile. It emerged from a series of innovative crosses aimed at exceptional flavor and robust characteristics.
Appearance
Triangle Choke buds are visually striking, often exhibiting a dense, conical, and somewhat triangular structure. They display a rich coloration, blending deep greens with purple hues, and are further adorned with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are notably coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance and indicating high resin production.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Triangle Choke is intense and complex, beginning with pungent earthy and sweet citrus notes, complemented by subtle undertones of pine and spice. Its flavor profile mirrors this, offering a multi-layered taste that starts with bright citrus, lemon, and orange, transitioning into an earthy, herbal, and resinous finish.
Effects
This sativa-dominant strain is recognized for delivering a cerebral and focused experience, often associated with a sense of calm. Its potent cannabinoid profile contributes to a well-rounded high that can be both mentally stimulating and physically grounding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Triangle Choke typically features THC levels ranging from 18% to 25%, with CBD content below 1%. Key terpenes identified include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene, which contribute to its distinct aroma, flavor, and potential therapeutic effects. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are also present in smaller amounts.
Cultivation
Growers have reported that Triangle Choke plants can produce significant yields, with indoor cultivation under optimal conditions yielding up to 500 grams per square meter. The strain is noted for its genetic stability, making it resilient to pests and adaptable to various climates. Its high resin production makes it a prime candidate for concentrate production.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Tarantula Genetics in the late 2010s, Triangle Choke is the result of meticulous breeding aimed at achieving high potency and unique flavors. While its exact genetic lineage is proprietary, it is understood to be a complex hybrid possibly involving high-THC sativas and resinous indicas, refined through multiple generations of backcrossing.
