Green Crack (The Daytime Powerhouse) - Green Crack is a sativa-dominant strain that has earned its controversial name through sheer potency and energizing effects. Originally called "Cush" (with a C), the strain was reportedly renamed "Green Crack" by Snoop Dogg after experiencing its powerful, almost coffee-like jolt of energy. Despite some controversy around the name, it has stuck and the strain has become one of the most popular daytime sativas available. Green Crack is believed to be descended from Skunk #1 genetics, possibly with some Afghani influence, though its exact lineage remains somewhat mysterious. The flavor profile features bright tropical mango and citrus notes that make it as delicious as it is energizing.
Green Crack lives up to its name by delivering an intense burst of mental energy and focus that rivals a strong cup of coffee. Users report feeling immediately alert, motivated, and mentally sharp—perfect for tackling to-do lists, creative projects, or physical activities. The high is purely cerebral with minimal body effects, allowing for maximum functionality and productivity. Unlike some energizing strains that can cause anxiety or jitters, Green Crack typically provides clean, focused energy that enhances concentration rather than scattering thoughts. It's particularly popular among students, professionals, and anyone needing a daytime pick-me-up. The effects come on quickly and last for several hours, making it economical for regular use.
Green Crack buds are bright, vibrant green—living up to the first part of their name. The structure is classic sativa with slightly airy, elongated calyxes rather than dense indica nuggets. Orange and amber pistils are abundant, often covering a significant portion of the bud's surface. The trichome coverage is moderate to good, giving the buds a slightly frosty appearance. The overall visual presentation is energetic and bright, matching the strain's effects.
Growing Green Crack is relatively straightforward, making it accessible to growers with moderate experience. The plant exhibits medium to tall height with good lateral branching and responds well to topping and training. It's fairly resilient and resistant to common issues, though it benefits from regular feeding to support its vigorous growth. Flowering time is faster than many sativas at 7-9 weeks, with high yields of quality flower. Green Crack performs well both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor grows in warm, sunny climates producing particularly impressive results.
