Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is a autoflowering 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 20-26% on average, with 0.8% CBD. Seeds come in autoflower form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Phnom Penh 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, Phnom Penh 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 pine and coffee up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a pine-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, rust-colored hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Phnom Penh offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants finishing in as little as 8-9 weeks from germination, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed.
