Adams potency is higher THC than average.

Adams is a modern hybrid strain developed through the crossing of Dr Who and Girl Scout Cookies. This variety thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering growers a record of high yields within a flowering period of approximately 56 days. While it presents a moderate challenge for cultivators, its genetic development reflects a calculated combination of its parent lineages to produce a stable and productive plant.

The sensory profile of Adams is defined by a primary concentration of myrcene, followed by secondary caryophyllene and tertiary limonene. This terpene dominance dictates the aromatic and flavor characteristics of the flower, ensuring a distinct chemical composition that informs the overall consumer experience. Each of these components contributes uniquely to the profile, creating a balanced aromatic structure that reflects its botanical origin.

With a THC-dominant profile reaching approximately 25.2%, this strain is recognized primarily for its ability to induce states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make Adams a suitable choice for users seeking relief from stress, physical pain, and sleep-related difficulties. As it stands, there are no recorded notable offspring derived from this specific genetic pairing.
