Unicorn Poop
GMO (Garlic Cookies) × Sophisticated Lady
Unicorn Poop is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by ThugPug Genetics, emerging in the late 2010s. It is recognized for its visually striking appearance, complex aroma profile, and potent effects, quickly becoming a sought-after cultivar.
Appearance
Unicorn Poop buds are notable for their dense, golf-ball to medium spear-shaped structure and high calyx-to-leaf ratio. They are typically covered in a thick, glassy layer of trichomes that give them a silvery sheen. Under cooler conditions, the buds and sugar leaves can display deep purples and burgundy streaks, contrasting with lime-green calyxes, creating a spectrum of colors.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Unicorn Poop often presents a sweet, candied top note layered over fuel and a hint of garlic or onion. Upon grinding, this intensifies to include chemmy diesel, black pepper, and citrus peel. Flavors mirror the aroma, starting with sweet fruit-candy and vanilla cream, followed by diesel, cracked pepper, and a garlic-herb finish. The progression from sweet to savory is a signature characteristic.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, the lineage suggests a hybrid experience that combines the potency of GMO with the nuanced profile of Sophisticated Lady. Consumers often seek this strain for its memorable sensory experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Commonly reported terpenes include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene. The strain typically tests between 22-26% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG are also present.
Growing
Unicorn Poop generally exhibits hybrid vigor, with some phenotypes stretching 1.5x to 2x during the initial flowering weeks. Flowering time typically ranges from 63 to 77 days, depending on the phenotype. The strain is known for producing resin-heavy buds, which can contribute to good yields in solventless extractions.
Origins & Lineage
Unicorn Poop was created by ThugPug Genetics, a breeder known for resin-heavy plants with distinctive terpene profiles. It is a cross between GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies) and Sophisticated Lady, an in-house selection by ThugPug. This genetic combination is responsible for its complex aroma, color, and potency.
