Dirty Laundry
Dirty Laundry
Overview
Dirty Laundry is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (80% indica / 20% sativa) developed by Atlas Seed, a respected breeder known for combining traditional techniques with modern genetic science. This strain emerged from Atlas Seed's breeding program in the early 2010s as part of their experimentation with creating fuel-forward, fast-flowering varieties optimized for solventless hash production and washing. The strain was specifically engineered to reduce the typical longer flowering time associated with GMO genetics while maintaining exceptional hash production capabilities and the distinctive funky terpene profile characteristic of its lineage. Dirty Laundry represents Atlas Seed's prototype for semi-fast flowering photoperiod strains that excel in extract production. The strain exhibits dense, compact buds with excellent resin production and develops attractive purple hues during maturation. Its aromatic profile is complex and evocative, featuring deep musky earthiness mixed with citrus undertones, sour fermented fruit notes, and the signature 'dirty' scent reminiscent of freshly laundered linens, all underpinned by prominent diesel fuel funk. This unique combination of aromas has made it particularly popular among connoisseurs and extract artists who value both quality and distinctive characteristics in their cannabis selections.

Growing Information
Dirty Laundry is suited for intermediate to advanced growers due to its nuanced cultivation requirements. The strain exhibits excellent vigor with good mold resistance and responds well to training techniques such as low-stress training (LST) and defoliation. Indoor flowering time is 70-75 days (10-11 weeks), which is 2-3 weeks faster than typical GMO strains. Plants prefer controlled environments with temperatures between 68-78°F (20-26°C) and humidity levels around 40-50% during flowering. The strain can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse settings, with outdoor plants thriving in mild, consistent climates with warm, dry summers and up to 12 hours of direct sunlight. Yields are high with proper care, though slightly lower than some commercial strains - this can be offset with higher planting densities. Plants develop medium height and benefit from balanced nutrient regimens emphasizing phosphorus and potassium during flowering. pH should be maintained between 6.0-6.5 in soil and 5.5-6.0 in hydroponic systems. The strain is particularly valued for its exceptional resin production and suitability for solventless extraction methods.
