The strain represents the cross between Timberwolf and Ancient OG F4, combining elite genetics with modern breeding techniques. Motherlode Seeds has developed this strain as part of their commitment to preserving legacy cannabis genetics while creating new elite cultivars. The strain draws its genetic heritage from Animal Cookies and Chem 4 lineage, contributing to its distinctive characteristics and potent effects. Direwolf showcases robust and dense buds with a heavy layer of trichomes that creates a frosty appearance reminiscent of winter wilderness. The strain exhibits deep green coloration interwoven with hints of purple, reflecting its complex genetic background. The buds are notably chunky and greasy, requiring additional support during flowering due to their substantial weight.
