Green Crack
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Myrcene (28-42%): Musky, earthy, skunky backbone from Skunk #1 heritage; Provides base aroma despite typically sedative associations
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Beta-Caryophyllene (14-16%): Spicy, peppery notes with potential anti-inflammatory properties; Limonene (13-14%): Bright citrus, mango, tangy lime creating tropical character; Alpha-Pinene (15%): Fresh piney, herbal brightness; Trace: Humulene, Linalool, Terpineol, Beta-Pinene
The Experience- Common Effects
Energized; Uplifted; Focused; Creative; Sociable; Enhanced motivation; Combats fatigue; Manages stress; Breaks creative blocks; Functional high with minimal cognitive impairment; Coherent thought flow; Articulate conversation
The Experience- Duration
2-4 hours depending on consumption method, dose, and individual metabolism; Vaporization at lower temps (350-375°F) slightly shorter duration; Higher-temp vaporization or combustion extends effects; Gentle comedown without significant crash or fatigue; Clean mental clarity throughout experience; Soft landing leaves users clear-headed rather than foggy
The Experience- Onset
Rapid onset within minutes of consumption; Immediate mental clarity and alertness comparable to premium coffee without jitters; Cerebral high builds progressively over 15-20 minutes to sustained plateau; Predominantly cerebral with minimal body load; Sharp, lucid, motivating mental state; Enhanced concentration and focus without scattered thoughts
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth; Dry eyes; Anxiety (in sensitive individuals or excessive doses); Paranoia; Racing thoughts; Overstimulation ('too wired' feeling); Sleep interference if used in evening; New users may underestimate rapid onset and overconsume
Strain Type
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Evening relaxation; Sleep preparation; Situations requiring mental stillness; Pain relief (better options available); Individuals already experiencing anxiety or overstimulation; Consumption within several hours of bedtime
Lineage and Origins
Bred in Athens, Ohio around 1990 by Cecil C.; Cross of 1989 SSSC Skunk #1 and unknown Afghani landrace indica; Originally named 'Cush,' renamed 'Green Crack' by Snoop Dogg in early 2000s; Won 3rd place Best Sativa at 2015 Denver High Times Cannabis Cup
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 15-25% (typical batches 17-21%; exceptional phenotypes up to 29%); CBD: 0.1-0.2% (negligible); CBG: Trace amounts; Moderately-to-highly potent; Psychoactive character emphasized by low CBD; Synergistic entourage effect from cannabinoid-terpene interplay
Comparable Strains
Sour Diesel: Energizing cerebral high, sharp focus, shared terpenes, similar THC—differs in fuel-forward vs fruity aroma; Durban Poison: Pure sativa energy and focus, fruity-sweet notes—differs in earthy-piney qualities, landrace genetics; Super Lemon Haze: Uplifting sativa-dominant, citrus profile, comparable potency—differs in lemon vs mango emphasis; Jack Herer: Energizing creative effects, focus enhancement—differs in balanced body relaxation, pine-forward aromatics; Tangie: Citrus-dominant sativa, uplifting creative effects—differs in orange vs mango citrus, more euphoric

7-9 weeks (49-63 days) indoors; Late September to early October harvest outdoors

Cultivation Plant Structure
Vigorous vegetative growth with vertical stretch; More manageable than pure sativa landraces; Responds well to topping, LST, SCROG training; Dense indica-like bud structure despite sativa dominance; Medium height when properly trained
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense, trichome-rich buds; Vibrant green-to-purple coloration; Prominent orange pistils; Pungent, fruity, citrus-forward aroma with skunky undertones; Smooth smoke/vapor with pronounced tropical fruit flavors; Terpene profile intensifies when ground; Sticky, resinous texture
