Dirty Merlot
Dirty Merlot
Overview
Dirty Merlot is a rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Generation New Breed Genetics, a Miami-based Cuban breeding collective known for their signature strain Dirty Dade. This relatively new strain represents the culmination of careful selection and breeding, combining two distinct genetic lines to create a powerful sedative variety.
The strain was developed through crossing a prized Dirty Dade male with a Black Maple female from Harry Palms at Bloom Seed Co. Dirty Dade contributes a complex sativa-leaning profile with distinctive skunky, onion, and gassy funk notes mixed with hints of pine and lemon peel. Black Maple brings indica-dominant genetics with grape, gas, and savory aromas from its Dulce de Uva x Sherbanger lineage. This unique combination results in a strain that balances the funky, pungent characteristics of its father with the sweet, fruity notes of its mother.
Dirty Merlot is characterized by its extremely sedative and relaxing effects across all phenotypes, making it particularly suited for evening use and those seeking deep relaxation. The strain represents the boutique breeding approach of smaller, specialized genetics companies focusing on unique terpene profiles and potent effects rather than mass market appeal.

Growing Information
Dirty Merlot is classified as mostly indica and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 64 days (9-10 weeks), which is typical for indica-dominant varieties. Generation New Breed Genetics offers this strain as feminized seeds. The plant is expected to exhibit indica growth characteristics with bushy structure and dense bud formation. Due to its complex genetics combining both sativa and indica influences, growers may encounter different phenotypes, though all are reported to maintain the characteristic sedative effects. Limited cultivation data is available as this is a relatively new and boutique strain from a smaller breeding operation.
