Down Wind

Down Wind is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 21-27% on average, with 0.7% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

Users describe the Down Wind high as an immediate uplifting cerebral rush that sharpens focus and sets off waves of creative energy, keeping you motivated and sociable without weighing down the body. Underneath the mental charge, a mellow body calm keeps things comfortable, taking the edge off without ever slowing you down. These combined effects make Down Wind a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic fatigue and low mood, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect skunk and diesel up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a diesel finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Down Wind offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. 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 Wind family — see Back Wind for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
