Potency
Crescendo is a hybrid strain that is created by Ethos Genetics. The Crescendo strain is the child of three parents. These are Chemdog, Mandarin Cookies, and I-95. The resulting hybrid has a high THC content of 28% to 31%. Despite such a high THC content, the effects of this weed are pretty moderate and not overwhelming. This makes it a good weed to smoke pretty much whenever you want if you have a higher THC tolerance.
Taste and Aroma of Crescendo Strain
When you break apart these buds, you will sense an aroma of wood. This woody smell also has some pungent and skunky notes in it, along with the sweetness of berries. The taste is similar, with an overall sweet and earthy profile with some fruity notes. The following terpenes are responsible for this aroma and flavor profile:
- Pinene
- Phellandrene
- Carene
- Ocimene
Effects and Medical Uses
The main effects of this strain are:
- Happiness
- Energy Boost
- Tingling
The effects take hold slowly and build up over time. The mind becomes very happy while the body gets a tingly sensation and starts to feel light. The body also relaxes physically while you become giddy and talkative.
Because of these effects, this cannabis is useful for medical patients suffering from issues like depression, chronic pain, stress, lack of sleep, or mood swings. Using too much of it can lead to a feeling of unnecessary concern and hunger.
Those consumers for whom Crescendo strain is too strong choose Lemon Cake strain as similar in effects, but with a lower level of THC.

For the most part I found this strain to be repulsive. The high was fine but i was so thirsty i felt dehydrated afterwards.
I have come to enjoy sweet kush. Unlike the people that can survive pungent and woody-smelling pot, I like mine a little sweet and citrus-smelling. That way I can reminisce about eating fruits after climbing huge trees.
This time I worked at a dispensary and so many people with medical marijuana cards bought Crescendo. Apparently it is soothing.
Slightly not suitable for newbies but experienced stoners will have a ride with this one.
On numerous accounts my friends have shared their exciting highs with me. It wasn't until Crescendo that I got one of my own. the day started off crappy so by midday I was done with work. I sneaked in a few puffs from my joint and my afternoon had a turnaround. I was happy and so full of energy.
It not only gets you high, it lifts your spirit and has a natural juicy taste
First time to try cannabis and I chose this. It kinda gets you too high, thirsty and hungry. I was expecting to have a lifetime’s experience but ended up feeling dizzy and nauseated. I wouldn’t recommend it to a first timer, maybe start off with something less strong.
Not as bad as I expected. I got it off my brother today and wow! Dude got taste.
The best pot I’ve come across so far. You want to loosen up and still be in your senses? Try this.
This is the good stuff. A friend recommended it and I’m loving it. It’s perfect when you just need a little morale booster to do some work or just to relax and meditate. I wouldn’t want to oversell it but, damn!!!
Awesome! Just awesome. It brings out a side of you that you were unaware of with just the right high. The fruity after taste you are left with is to die for. Crescendo is definitely my strain. I love it!
First time trying, I like it for getting things done when you just don't have the get up and go! Relaxed, happy, yet focused.
Excellant
I saw this strain on wikileaf and I left my usual strain preference - OG Kush. And now? Im disappointed. It wears off so easily and the anxiety comes back like ahuge drop on your head.
Leafly review about this strain is underrated. This one makes you giggly, happy and extremely high and happening. The tingles last for a long time and its like a buzzing reminder of good times.
It is a blend of something fruity and natural. It hits the cerebral region so strongly, it is like an adrenaline rush of happy feelings. I like it very much. Thumbs up!
My muscle spams after a long day are lost after taking the earthy strain.
Not very nice delivery service. Wasted lot of time.
Skunk is marvellous!
It is a great distraction from anxiety and panic strokes
Novices will suffer. Not Buy.
Highly PoTeNt strain with a sweet taste. I have high tolerance but I salute this strain; it kicked my ass within the second puff and i couldn’t even make a clear decision by the time I was on the fifth puff. It leaves me relaxed, blissful and euphoric.
one of my favorite for evenings with my frends… but not for begginers!!!
I bought an oz and was so impressed went back and bought another. I found four seeds in two ounces. ONE ... turned out to be female and is now at bloom day 70 tomorrow. Trichomes are stalked, cloudy and domed. I may wait another week for amber. Seriously good reefer with plenty of buzz but no couchlock. 4/5 bj
My best Indica to kick start the day. Gives me renewed energy and uplifts my spirits. I find it cool because it doesnt cause paranoia so long you dont overuse. Everyone deserves good vibes to face each day. I would recommend it.
Amazingly high with sweet smells
Help me unwind and relax
Keeps me calm and so relaxed
Keeps me alert and well concentrated on my work. I love the great taste of citrus.
Awesome ! My best pot
Fast hitting high!
Wonderful colored crystals that taste so sweet. Makes me feel in control of myself and relaxed.
This strain has the coolest aroma ever. Makes me feel relaxed and relieves me from fatigue after a long day at work.
Have been using it in the morning before going to work. Leaves me feeling energized and in a good mood.
I really like it. It helped me with my migraines and stress. Clears my head and slows my thinking on those days when I feel as if my brain is racing.
This Indica has large buds with great quality. I love it for the calmness it gives me.
Just Chillin After 4 puffs I was satisfyingly stoned. This is definitely on my buy whenever you see, it will not disappoint. I could feel the harsh burn on my throat and new I was gonna be high Definitely helps with nerve pain. Would be great for hiking and enjoying nature. I myself have no desire to move whilst my hubby is running around . We usually have opposite reactions. Enjoy!
Nice one its my favorite. Great for my back pain leaves me feeling younger and energetic as well.
Makes me high and gives me a good sense of humor when chatting with friends.
