VIP is a modern hybrid-indica strain bred from a lineage of Afghani and Iraqi Pilgrim. Its genetic history is contained within this pairing, and no further origin or breeder documentation is currently available to clarify its specific development timeframe or regional provenance. Growers can expect a moderate level of difficulty when cultivating this plant, which is capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. The strain typically reaches maturity after a 70-day flowering period and is known for producing a high yield.
The chemical composition of VIP is defined by a broad terpene profile that prioritizes myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, pinene, limonene, ocimene, beta-pinene, linalool, humulene, nerolidol, guaiol, bisabolol, p-cymene, and camphene. In terms of potency, the strain features an estimated THC content of approximately 8.4 percent, with negligible CBD levels estimated at 0 percent. These figures are based on averages and published data rather than batch-specific testing, and the concentration of these cannabinoids represents an estimated baseline for the variety.
Regarding its physiological effects, VIP is documented to induce a sense of relaxation while maintaining user focus. Because of these characteristics, it is frequently utilized by those seeking to address concerns related to pain, stress, and sleep. As of the current record, there are no notable offspring recorded for this hybrid-indica variety.
