El Cid

El Cid 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 23-29% on average, with 0.3% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The El Cid high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. Because of these effects, El Cid 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 coffee up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a coffee-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, fiery orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, El Cid is a demanding plant best left to experienced growers, flowering in around 8 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.
