Benin

Benin is a indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 16-22% on average, with 1% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Benin high as a slow, warming body melt that starts at the back of the head and rolls down through the limbs, easing muscles into deep, contented calm while the mind drifts into a hazy, happy state. A gentle mental uplift keeps the mood bright the whole way through, so the physical heaviness never tips over into fogginess. These combined effects make Benin a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect coffee and pine up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a pine finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Benin offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home in controlled indoor setups. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward.
