Cuban Missile Crisis

Cuban Missile Crisis is a sativa dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 23-29% on average, with 0.8% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Cuban Missile Crisis high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. These combined effects make Cuban Missile Crisis a frequent pick among patients dealing with mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Cuban Missile Crisis has a distinctive lemon and pine flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a lemon-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Cuban Missile Crisis is a demanding plant best left to experienced growers, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Dialed-in climate control and careful pruning are repaid with exceptional bag appeal and top-shelf potency. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Missile family — see Meat Missile and Missile 33 for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
