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.

Even Greeks used it against pain, while Queen Victoria applied it to get rid of menstrual cramps. 0.22 - 7.04%

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.

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.

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.

FAQ

Speaking of flowering time, Crescendo matures quite fast and will flower in only 48-55 days. The harvest time is quite short as well, averaging 61 days. The shortcoming? The plant is quite demanding to care for and will require a lot of space to grow.
With Ocimene as the dominant terpene, Crescendo has a strong smell of wood. However, its profile is much more diverse than that. Thanks to the presence of Myrcene, the weed also carries a wonderful sweetness of berries, with a subtle overnote of citrus fruit, floral hints, and skunkiness brought into the mix by Limonene, Pinene, Carene, Phellandrene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Ocimene.
