Tres Sister is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from its parent, Tres Dawg. Suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this plant reaches maturity after a 68-day flowering period. Growers can anticipate a high yield from this variety, which is categorized as having a moderate level of cultivation difficulty.
The terpene profile of Tres Sister is defined by a complex sequence starting with myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, ocimene, and pinene. The chemical composition continues with nerolidol, limonene, humulene, and linalool, providing a multifaceted sensory profile. Subtle background notes are contributed by beta-pinene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, eucalyptol, p-cymene, caryophyllene-oxide, and a small trace of terpinolene.
This THC-dominant strain is primarily utilized by those seeking to manage pain, stress, or sleep, as it is known to induce effects characterized as relaxed, calm, and focused. The genetic influence of Tres Sister is prominent in several notable offspring, including Cherry Freeze, Fire Under Sookies, Lemon Sisters, Miami Schmooze, Super Harlequin, The Atom Bomb, The White Boy, and the Tres Sister x Monster Cookies cross.
