Also known as: Love Potion, Love Potion No. 1
Overview
Love Potion #1 is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain bred by Reeferman Seeds, achieving legendary status as the winner of the 2004 High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Sativa and Best Herb Overall. This strain is the offspring of Santa Marta Colombian Gold and G-13, then backcrossed with the original Colombian Gold to stabilize and enhance its sativa characteristics. The strain gained its distinctive name from its reputed aphrodisiac properties, with many users reporting enhanced arousal and sensory stimulation. Love Potion #1 produces large, incredibly dense lumpy leafy neon green nugs with a spattering of fiery orange twisty hairs, completely covered in clear white trichomes and unbelievably sticky with visible droplets of sweet sticky resin. The strain exhibits a complex aromatic profile featuring skunky lemon citrus notes with hints of pine, creating an enticing olfactory experience that complements its invigorating effects.
