It's a high that's both calming and uplifting; the ideal way to pamper yourself with tender-loving self-care.
Mothers Milk lineage
When you dive into any strain's genetic lineage, you begin to understand its unique traits—and the Mother's Milk strain is no acception. This strain gets its relaxing indica vibes from Nepali OG—also known as Nepal Kush—a pure indica strain descended from the Hindu Kush landrace strains that sprout from the mountainous regions of Nepal. Nepali OG carries with it all the calm and serenity of the Himalayas in each puff, accented by exquisite hints of sweetness, spiciness, and fruit. Thanks to this genetic parent, Mother’s Milk inherits the ability to calm and generate serenity, a high THC content, and distinctive Kush undertones that complement its aromatic profile.
On the other side of the family tree is the infamous balanced hybrid variety, Appalachia. This strain is the result of a cross between Green Crack and Tres Dawg strains. Although its THC levels usually hover around 18%, it is highly sought after by cannabis connoisseurs due to its balanced effects that show some sativa tendencies despite its hybrid nature. Its aromatic legacy lives on in the Mother's Milk strain, whose alluring creamy aroma is balanced by the citrus-y and piney tones common to the Appalachia strain.
Mothers Milk THC content
As with any strain, the THC levels of Mother’s Milk can vary from batch to batch, depending on the growing conditions and the care given to the plant during its flowering period. Typically, average batches contain THC levels between 16% and 21%. However, under the proper care and the right conditions, the Mother’s Milk strain can reach a THC content of 24% to 29%. This sativa-dominant hybrid strain also has a small, but significant, CBG content of up to 1%, with almost undetectable CBD levels.
