Chico
Chico Strain Overview
Chico is a hybrid cannabis strain developed in British Columbia, Canada, by WetCoast Genetics. Created in 2015 by the late 'Chico himself' and later stabilized by his son Haze, this strain represents a carefully crafted cross between 1977 Maui Wowie and Watermelon Kush. After years of pheno hunting and generational breeding, Chico has been locked in as a stable cultivar. The strain combines the energizing tropical qualities of its classic Hawaiian Sativa parent with the relaxing indica-dominant characteristics of Watermelon Kush, resulting in a balanced hybrid that offers both daytime functionality and evening relaxation. With its moderate-to-high THC levels ranging from 22-28% and low CBD content of 0.5-1%, Chico provides potent effects while maintaining clarity.
