Loch Ness Monster is a modern, auto-flowering variety resulting from a cross between White Widow and Ruderalis. The origins of this strain remain undocumented beyond these parent genetics, as there is no specific information regarding its breeder or its developmental history. Due to its ruderalis lineage, the plant is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments and maintains a low yield. Its cultivation process is considered easy, reaching maturity with a 75-day flowering period.

The sensory profile of Loch Ness Monster is determined by a complex, confirmed terpene composition. Myrcene acts as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene, with pinene, beta-pinene, linalool, terpinolene, nerolidol, humulene, isopulegol, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, p-cymene, and eucalyptol rounding out the profile. This specific sequence of terpenes defines the aromatic and flavor characteristics of the strain.

As a THC-dominant cultivar, Loch Ness Monster produces effects that are characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Users often turn to this variety for its utility in managing symptoms of stress and pain, as well as for its potential in addressing sleep difficulties. At this time, there are no recorded notable offspring derived from this strain.
