Eastside Smack

Eastside Smack is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 15-21% on average, with 1% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Eastside Smack high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Eastside Smack is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect sweet and skunk up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a sweet-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, rust-colored hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Eastside Smack is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well 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 Smack family — see Scooby Smack and Skagen Smack Down for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
