Frisian Duck
Frisian Duck is a modern, hybrid cannabis variety derived from the unique Ducksfoot strain. Developed for versatility, it is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield with a moderate difficulty level. The plant reaches maturity following a 56-day flowering period, and its distinct genetics have served as the foundation for the notable offspring AutoDuck.
The sensory profile of Frisian Duck is defined by a specific chemical composition dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as the secondary and tertiary terpenes. This terpene array creates a complex aromatic and flavor experience, grounding the high with earthy undertones while providing structural depth through the influence of its balanced terpene profile.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Frisian Duck is primarily utilized to instill feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make the strain a functional choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid in managing sleep patterns. Its impact on the cannabis market continues through its functional genetic legacy as the progenitor of the autoflowering AutoDuck variety.
