Coma Strain

Description

About Crystal Coma

Although its name conjures exotic images of Snow White in a twilight trance or Vladimir Lenin in his glass coffin, Crystal Coma is a sativa-leaning hybrid from California. Although its exact genetics are undocumented, this strain may be the product of two very pungent staples: Cheese and Skunk #1.  Crystal Coma’s THC level has been measured at levels of 15% to as high as 30%.

Crystal Coma’s multicolored flowers are visually striking. The large and solid buds cling together in solid, rounded formations that are shaped somewhat like bullets. They have a typically indica internal structure, with a dense and solid core and small leaves that curl tightly inward. These leaves are a mossy green and are twisted through with curly orange and brown pistils. Crystal Coma also has (and might be named for) a high concentration of cloudy, crystalline trichomes that cover the buds’ inner and outer nooks and crannies and make them hard to break up by hand.

On first whiff, Crystal Coma’s complex aroma offers up some bright notes of lemon. There are also some mellow, earthy base notes lurking underneath, with some consumers comparing the strain’s scent to that of coffee or cocoa. When the strain’s flowers are broken apart or ground up, they give off a tangy and sour scent that may be divisive for some. All these flavors combine in a smoke that may be harsh or acrid when Crystal Coma is burnt. On the exhale, its smoke has a funky citrus-tinged taste.

Those looking to grow this prized strain at home can buy seeds online. Once obtained, Crystal Coma can be grown indoors or out, although successful outdoor cultivation calls for a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 70- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit. Plants may grow somewhat branchy and should be occasionally trimmed to contain their height indoors. At maturity, the strain can offer up to 1.6 ounces of flower per square foot of plant. Crystal Coma flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest around September.
