Hello! Happy Friday and welcome back to another New Strains Alert!
This week we have four indicas from Rare Dankness and three hybrid strains from Purple Caper Seeds. While these cultivators are representing two of the three convenient categories of cannabis available to consumers, the strains within each category are quite eclectic. For example, the hybrid Chocolate Tonic is a potent 1:1 CBD strain that combines the flavorful terpenes and Kush attributes with the medicinal benefits of Cannatonic, while the indica CBD OX takes a more weighted, sedative approach while also remaining primarily medicinal.

Pamelina by Rare Dankness is a powerful indica-dominant strain supposedly named for a love interest of one of its breeders. This strain was crafted from the Forum cut of GSC (f.k.a Girl Scout Cookies) and Rare Dankness #2, creating a high-yielding, pungent plant with a 58 to 65 day flowering time. Pamelina expresses deep green and purple hues as well as doughy tasting terpenes with touches of windflower and fuel notes. This strain has been known to reduce stress and physical discomfort.
