Green Crack is the Sweetest Invigorating Herb

Green Crack was originally created in Athens, GA in the 1970’s. It stayed local to Georgia for about 30 years before it become a nationally known strain. Now, Green Crack is a common strain found frequently in California and in the rest of North America.

It wasn’t always known as Green Crack. It used to be named Green Cush but Snoop Dogg decided to rename the strain in the early 2000’s. This was due to its hard-hitting effects and the urge to continue smoking long after you’re blazed.  

Don’t let the name fool you. There’s no crack or other drugs mixed in Green Crack. However, the name is off-putting for many customers. So, dispensaries tend to rename Green Crack as GC or Green Cush. Despite the negative connotations associated with its name, growing it relatively simple.

Growing GC

Green Crack is an easy to grow strain because it barely needs any attention from its grower. It flowers fairly quickly, grows medium to tall and they all produce high yields. Green Crack’s THC test results average between 13-21% and its CBD test results are about 0-0.1%.

However, Green Crack has several phenotypes and there are several companies that created their own version of Green Crack. Coincidently, all versions of Green Crack have the same parents. Because of their shared genetics, they provide the same wonderful effects.

The Skunk #1 and Afghani parents provide a uniform looking product with variations in the high. The look of Green Crack is the same throughout; green dense buds covered in resin. The high THC content makes it a crowd favorite.

Mjl9694 says, “One of the best strains you can get your hands on. GC is always known to provide effects for even veteran consumers after only a few hits. GC is a crowd favorite due to its high potency and overall cerebral invigoration. If you love that energetic, happy, euphoric-uplifted feeling then this is the perfect sativa for you.”

Humboldt Seeds Organization’s version of Green Crack is a combination of Skunk #1 and an Afghani strain. They dislike the name the name Green Crack, and prefer to call it, Mango. It’s another fast-growing sativa, high yielding and has a decent flowering time of 63 days.

The Similarities of Green Crack
