Long John Silver

Long John Silver is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 16% and 22%, pairing raw strength with a 1% CBD content. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Long John Silver 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. These combined effects make Long John Silver a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Long John Silver has a mouth-filling skunk and chocolate 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 skunk-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 thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Long John Silver 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 John family — see Auto John Weed and John Weed for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
