Mendocino Purps is a clone-only indica phenotype from Mendocino County at 17-22% THC, with sweet grape, light berry and earthy pine at the back. It starts in about 5 minutes as a balanced indica relaxation with mild euphoria. Caryophyllene, myrcene and pinene lead.
Balanced Indica Relaxation, Mild Euphoria
At about 5 minutes the relaxation begins, and it stays balanced rather than crushing, with a mild euphoria floating over it. That makes it an evening and dinner-with-friends strain more than a couch-only one. THC is 17-22%. Effects last 2 to 4 hours when inhaled and longer with edibles.
Grape on Top, Pine Underneath
Caryophyllene leads, with myrcene and pinene next.
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene leads the list and contributes a peppery, warm, grounding quality.
Myrcene
Myrcene is the relaxing heaviness that gives the indica its calm.
Pinene
Pinene contributes a fresh, pine-like aroma, which fits the earthy pine on the back of the profile.
