Pestilence Strain Review

Do not think for a moment that Pestilence lacks in potency, we’ll get more in-depth on this later, for now, let’s just say we’re taking a journey to uncover the herb that will pin you down to your seat while your perception shifts and turns.

What Percentage Of THC / CBD?

This strain is measured at 10-12 percent THC, meaning it packs a medium THC level compared to other strains on the market; however, it keeps you high and relaxed for a long time despite it kicks you with just 1 percent of CBD.

With the 80-20 ratio in favor of Indica genes, it’s easy to conclude you should not plan on smoking a spliff of Pestilence if you need to be productive any time soon.

The History Behind Pestilence Seed Development?

The strain was developed as a cross between West Coast Dawg and Abusive OG which draws genes from the legendary OG Kush. Thanks to its famous lineage, genetically modified cannabis strain Pestilence carries the particular sharp smell and overall high that feels throughout the entire body. WCD is there to level things up and help you experience the ride in a relaxed atmosphere.

Pestilence Effects

You should give the herb some time until it kicks in; mostly it takes around 15 minutes until the high takes over your lower limbs. This is the signal that a well-known feeling of euphoria is about to get over you as your mood mellows down and you get more relaxed and happier.

Another amazing effect of this weed is that you’re able to process your thoughts because you become less focused on previous distractions. Even if something was worrying you, the high won’t let you get down or unable you to come up with a creative idea.

The hunger is another memorable effect of this strain, so make sure you have your stash of snacks ready and within reach, because you won’t feel like going to the store until the effects wear off. For at least two hours, your body is going to experience a pleasant tingling moving from head to toes. This is the period when you’ll just want to chill on your couch and enjoy the ride that’s intensive but not aggressive.

Medical appointments of Pestilence cannabis strain

We mentioned hunger as one of the effects, however, this aspect of the high can help people who want to gain a few pounds or suffer an eating disorder. Furthermore, the soothing and calming sensation we get while burning these buds makes Pestilence strain a common cure for migraines and depression, or even insomnia because it’s known to cause sleepiness with some users.

Negatives of Pestilence strain

The negative effects that follow the use of this strain include dry mouth, dry and notably red eyes, as well as a slight paranoia that might turn into a big problem depending on the user.

What Are The Reasons To Choose Pestilence?

There are so many different aspects of cannabis that we consider when choosing our next supply. We’ll take a look at some of which we find the most influential.

Looks

Buds are not that large, however, these olive green irregularly shaped flowers are quite full and if you would press an average bud between your fingers you would feel it’s spongy and relatively thick.

Smell and aroma

After a while in a baggy or a jar, Pestilence has an earthy, sharp scent that’s typical for its lineage. When ground, however, you could smell the hash due to the OG material within this strain.

Flavor

There is a taste of cocoa and caramel underneath the palate while exhaling the smoke, followed by a faint woody aftertaste.  The overall flavor is smooth and pleasant.

Qualities

Takes about 8-10 weeks to grow, which is relatively fast. Also, when grown it provides you with 250-400 grams per square meter of space.

For Whom Is This Strain Most Suitable For?

Pestilence has a strong soothing effect, which makes it perfect for those of us who need to take some load off and enjoy the evening after a long day’s work. It is also agreeable with social gatherings where you need a little extra creative kick to spice up a friendly gathering and cause a few laughs. The flavor is best felt using a bong, but if you’re accustomed to liquid or wax vaping it might produce a bit stronger buzz than expected.

Opinion By Growers

Weed farmers say that it’s not easy getting your hands on good seeds, however, other than that this cross between Sativa and Indica grows fast, delivers a recommendable harvest, and grows outdoors as well as in a controlled environment.  The plant grows short, which leaves you with keeping an eye on leaves that you should occasionally trim down to provide enough sunlight to all parts of the plant.

Considering flexible growing conditions, Pestilence shows a typical Indica morphology which growers highly appreciate. The strain is relatively new, but it’s good enough to consider short maturation period, generous harvest, and high-quality buzz, we can expect to see herb growers show much appreciation for this plant.

How To Grow Pestilence?

The plant grows indoor and outdoor as long as the weather is optimal, meaning there is enough sun and humidity. However, since the seeds are not easy to come by, it’s also possible to get a healthy plant and clip a small branch or a stem to get the root going and then cultivate it as a clone.

It’s necessary to prune the plant from time to time so you would allow the sunshine to reach lower nodes.

The flowering process takes between 8 and 10 weeks, after which you can start harvesting and clipping those buds.

Useful To Edibles-Cooking?

Pestilence might smell odd when burnt, however, mixed with the right ingredients you can enjoy potent brownies with a nutty flavor that also contains a coffee-like taste.

Related Or Alternatives Strains?

When it comes to cannabis strains that are similar to Pestilence, there are a few contesters that go hand to hand, as well as some pretty powerful alternatives. Here are a few mentions:

  • Four Horsemen Haze
  • Banana Peel
  • Blue Dream
  • Chemdawg 104
  • Divine Apocalypse

Summary

Now that you know what Pestilence is, how it kicks, how powerful it is, and where to find it, it’s up to you to choose if it’s the right kind of herb for you. One thing is sure, this rare and unusual strain gives you the chance to experience a unique high that you’ll enjoy coming back to.

I choose to go for this bud because I had seen that it does not have any sedating effects and it was great for daytime use. But I was really disappointed because my head felt heavy afterwards and I had to lie down. I agree with Wikileaf on the sedating effects of this strain.
