Bloodhound

Created by RedEyed Genetics, Bloodhound crosses Huckleberry Hound and Guard Dawg. This genetic coupling has created an obscure cross with potent THC levels.

Bloodhound has a complex aroma and flavor profile. Expect an earthy aroma with surprising notes of sage mixed with tart fruit and even a touch of chocolate fondue.

This well-balanced indica-dominant hybrid strain (cultivar) clocks in at 60% indica and 40% sativa. Cannabinoid levels are not as balanced, with up to 25% THC and almost non-existent CBD. People use Bloodhound to treat various conditions, including appetite loss, stress, and social anxiety.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Dosing

As with all high-THC strains, especially those with little CBD to balance them out, Bloodhound should be dosed with care. Start slow until you are fully aware of your THC tolerance levels.

Growing

Bloodhound has popcorn-shaped dark olive green nugs with thin, light amber hairs. The Bloodhound plant fares best outdoors and can withstand harsh elements, including colder temperatures. But, Bloodhound also does well in indoor setups. Growers will need a pair of pruning shears, as this cultivar tends to grow full and bushy.
