Initial Thoughts

Petro Chem, currently available at long-time DC marijuana dispensary Wash Hydro, was quickly suggested by their expert budtender, Jordan, and I almost wrote it off until I caught a whiff of the glorious aroma. A balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) with a powerful lineage and a reputation for delivering a potent, full-body experience, it's a strain I've enjoyed often in the past. Its energetic yet deeply relaxing high appeals to hybrid enthusiasts looking for a strain with multifaceted effects, but this batch in particular has won me over with it's awesomely gassy, piney flavor. 🌲

Appearance

Petro Chem’s buds are rotund, yet fluffy and very visually appealing. They're generously coated with trichomes, giving them a frosty, Christmas tree-like appearance. Vibrant forrest green hues resemble an OG and are dotted with burnt orange hairs. The resinous quality of the nugs adds a sticky texture, hinting at the strain’s high potency and strong lineage.

Aroma

The aroma profile of Petro Chem is as complex as its genetics. It has a robust scent of pine and earthy spice, underscored by a gassy quality inherited from its Original Glue parent. Breaking open the buds releases a sour citrus, diesel-esque undertone that intensifies, filling the space with a dank smell that is both enticing and energizing.


Flavor

Petro Chem’s flavor is a layered experience, offering piney and gassy notes that are reminiscent of a redwood tree on the inhale. A spicy, sour citrus flavor emerges on the exhale, balanced by a faint earthy quality giving depth to the overall taste. The flavor is complex yet balanced, making each hit a unique blend of savory, sour, gassy and piney notes.

Lineage

A cross between Original Glue (also known as Gorilla Glue #4) and MoonBow #75, Petro Chem combines the best qualities of its parent strains. Original Glue contributes the sticky, resinous buds and potent high, while MoonBow adds fruity and herbal influences that create a unique, flavorful experience. Originally bred by the renowned Archive Seed Bank, Petro Chem is a testament to the high-quality genetics involved in its creation.


Effects

Petro Chem’s high is known to set in almost immediately with an uplifting sense of euphoria that quickly floods both mind and body. The effects wash away any physical discomfort, replacing it with a deep sense of relaxation and happiness. As the high progresses, a slight surge of energy and mental clarity kicks in, providing motivation and creative inspiration. This makes Petro Chem a versatile strain, suitable for tackling both physical relaxation and creative pursuits. With a THC level averaging 26-28%, it’s frequently chosen by those dealing with symptoms related to depression, chronic stress, nausea, chronic pain, and fatigue.
