Overview
Hippie Crasher, also known as Hippy Crasher, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant attention in the cannabis community for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. Created through crossing Wedding Cake and Kush Mints, this strain represents a sophisticated blend of genetics that combines the best traits from both parent strains. Wedding Cake contributes its relaxing and euphoric indica qualities, while Kush Mints adds its signature minty aroma and complex terpene profile to create a unique sensory experience.
The strain exhibits classic indica-dominant characteristics with dense, heart-shaped buds that display minty green coloration complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. The visual appeal of Hippie Crasher is matched by its complex aromatic profile, which combines sweet fruity notes reminiscent of berry cake with distinct cookie-mint undertones and hints of spicy nuts. This strain has become particularly popular among experienced cannabis consumers due to its high potency, with THC levels ranging from approximately 16% to 27%, making it a powerful choice for those seeking deep relaxation and stress relief. The strain's reputation for delivering both mental euphoria and profound physical relaxation has made it a sought-after cultivar for both recreational and medicinal users.

Growing Information
Hippie Crasher is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some previous experience. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 54-61 days, making it an attractive option for cultivators. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 3-4 feet (90-120 cm), while outdoor plants can grow taller at 5-7 feet (150-200 cm). Indoor yields average 1-2 ounces per square foot (approximately 400 grams per square meter), while outdoor cultivation can produce 15-20 ounces per plant (around 400-600 grams per plant). The strain thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates and responds well to training techniques such as trellising and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Plants develop a sturdy structure with strong lateral branching, producing dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes. Proper humidity control and adequate nutrition are essential for optimal growth and potency.
