Hippie Crippler: Do Not Let the Name Fool You
Hippie Crippler seeds produce some of the most amazing plants you have ever seen. The dark green leaves hold light green buds with amber hairs throughout. The plants are covered in white crystal resin that make these buds extremely sticky. Once harvested the buds are thick and dense and when broken apart release an intoxicating aroma similar to old school cannbis, that stinky, skunky scent that cannabis users love. While the strain hasn’t taken home any major cannanis awards it has won a handful on the independent circuit. The strain is a shoe-in for major awards and should take home some hardware in the future. Handled best by intermediate growers, Hippie Crippler has only recently become available for purchase, so we are still dialing in the perfect growing regimen.

Hippie Crippler lives up to its name. The growing process was easy, the plant isn’t demanding, the smell is a bit pungent, skunky, with hints of earthyness. The high is not for the weak.
