Keep reading to learn more about the Dante's Inferno cannabis strain and its unique properties. History of the Dante's Inferno Cannabis Strain Dante's Inferno is one of many hybrid cannabis strains created through a collaboration between Tiki Madman (based in Michigan) and Clearwater Genetics in Colorado Springs. Both are highly revered US breeders, known for producing high-quality and sought-after strains available in both seed and clone form. Tiki Madman has been breeding cannabis for a decade, and growing since he was 13. He has collaborated with a long list of other breeders and seed banks, including big names such as Mario Guzman of Sherbinskis, as well as more boutique strain creators. Tiki Madman is known to run extensive and continuous pheno-hunts of over 30 strains at a time. He started his career under Michigan’s caregiver's program and built up a loyal following giving away seeds to Michigan growers and medical patients. Today, Tiki Madman and his brand are both highly respected by growers across the globe. Clearwater Genetics, on the other hand, is a Colorado-based genetics company that's collaborated extensively with Tiki Madman in the past. Besides Dante's Inferno, some of the other strains created by Clearwater and Tiki Madman include: • Head Hunter • Dark & Stormy • Bullpup • Powder Keg Unfortunately, Clearwater Genetics has shared no information about its origins. Genetic Lineage of Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno was created through a cross of Oreoz and Devil Driver. Below we'll explore these strains and their traits in more detail. Oreoz, as its name suggests, is a descendant of the almighty Cookies line of strains. Combining genetics from Cookies and Cream by Exotic Genetix and Secret Weapon, Oreoz boasts delicious aromas and flavors reminiscent of, you guessed it, Oreo cookies. Expect a complex bouquet of earthy chocolate and coffee with sweet, creamy undertones and notes of vanilla. Despite its strong flavors and aromas, Oreoz makes for a smooth smoke and delivers a super-strong stone that completely relaxes the body while elevating the mind. On average, Oreoz buds contain 20–25% THC and boast a dense structure, mouth-watering colors ranging from bright green to dark purple, and a thick dusting of frosty trichomes. The second parent of Dante's Inferno is Devil Driver—a beloved sativa-dominant hybrid from Tiki Madman's strain catalog. Combining genetics from Sundae Driver and Melonade, Devil Driver is potent, aromatic, and delicious. Reminiscent of both its parent strains, Devil Driver smells of sweet cherry and melon candies, with subtle notes of cream and light citrus overtones. Its flavor is a lot more hashy, with upfront notes of vanilla, and a fruity exhale—you can expect to enjoy a mix of melon, cherry, grape, and citrus notes lingering on your palate once you've finished smoking a batch of Devil Driver. As her effects start to hit, Devil Driver's sativa side really shines through, producing a creative, uplifting, and energetic buzz. Physical Characteristics of Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno produces vigorous hybrid plants that look very indica dominant. Generally speaking, this plant develops dark green foliage and long, broad leaves. Vegging Dante's Inferno plants also grow a strong central stem and side branches, especially when trained. Once in bloom, Dante's Inferno produces tight clusters of thick indica flowers with almost-black, leathery-looking leaves. The buds produced by this strain boast deep shades of dark green and purple, bright orange pistils, and a glistening coat of thick trichomes. Properties and Effects of Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno is a very potent strain that can contain over 30% THC and trace amounts of secondary cannabinoids, as well as a rich mix of terpenes that combine to produce its unique aroma. Pop the lid off a well-cured batch of Dante's Inferno, and sit back as you enjoy her dense, fruity, gassy aroma wash over you. Somewhat reminiscent of her Devil Driver parent, the aroma of Dante's Inferno is instantly reminiscent of sweet fruit candies with grape and cherry overtones. Take a second smell, however, and you'll notice the earthier, sweet chocolate/coffee undertones found in Oreoz, followed by a big, bold kick of black pepper. If you don't like the smell of pepper, don't try this strain—many users attest to its lingering peppery stank. Once you light her up, a good batch of Dante's Inferno will coat your palate with gassy, candy-sweet fruit flavors reminiscent of a grape, cherry, and berry-flavored..."
