Green Goddess
Green Goddess
Overview
Green Goddess is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that descends from Skunk #1 and Sweet Leaf Indica, with some sources indicating it may be roughly 70% sativa and 30% indica. The eclectic and mysterious lineage of the Green Goddess strain contributes to its diversity in aromas and effects, with some sources citing genetics from Citral, G-13 Haze, Sweet Leaf Indica, Afghani Hawaiian, and Skunk #1 strains. The look of Green Goddess' flowers certainly justifies the strain's lofty name, with buds that are medium to large in size and have a markedly indica bud structure, clinging together in dense, solid chunks with several striking shades ranging from dark forest green to bright spring green, featuring round oversized minty green nugs with dark amber hairs. No large commercial breeders have claimed responsibility for Green Goddess' creation, and no seeds of the strain are available for sale online, making it only available through clippings from mature, healthy plants to grow genetically identical clones.
On initial inspection, flowers of Green Goddess have a pleasant floral aroma undercut by some slightly dank, kushy odors, likely passed on from the strain's Skunk parent, with closer examination revealing citrusy notes of lemon and grapefruit, producing a light taste with smooth, easy smoke that tastes of citrus with just a faint hint of the skunky odor. Its trichome-encrusted flower gives off subtle notes of citrus, flower, herbs, and spices, with users often detecting notes of grapefruit, rose, and blueberry. This vibrantly-colored bud offers a relaxing high that doesn't necessarily rule out productivity and mental simulation, with the strain's psychoactivity measured at between 12% and 20% THC in some sources.

Growing Information
Green Goddess thrives in a semi-humid to warm climate where the temperature ranges from 21°C to 26°C (70-79°F), with flowering time between 10 to 13 weeks and typical yields in the range of 10 to 12 ounces per square meter. Despite its indica roots, Green Goddess has an average flowering time between 70 and 91 days and is known to produce low yields in ideal conditions, though it grows well both indoors and outdoors. Indoor growers can expect a yield of 10 to 12 ounces per square meter, or 12+ ounces per plant when grown outdoors, thriving in moderately humid and warm temperatures with outdoor harvest season falling in mid-to-late November. It can be grown indoors or outdoors in semi-humid climates with daytime temperature between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, with sativa-leaning genetics suggesting a relatively long flowering time of as much as 13 weeks to fully mature. Growing difficulty is considered moderate with average flowering days of 56 in some sources, producing medium yields.
