Dante’s Inferno – The hellishly potent hybrid

Dante’s Inferno is aptly named – this strain is a true hellride of potency. As one of the strongest strains available on the market, it regularly shoots up to THC levels of 30% and beyond. This indica-dominant hybrid is not for the faint-hearted, but a baptism of fire for experienced consumers looking for the ultimate power.

Genetics and origin:
Dante’s Inferno is a phenotype of the legendary Hellfire OG, itself already a brutal cross of OG Kush and Hell’s Angel OG. These genetics have been selectively bred over several generations for pure potency and a deep, sedative effect. It originated in the deeper realms of the Californian craft cannabis scene.

Effect profile:

• Beginning: An immediate, overwhelming whirlwind of cerebral euphoria sets in. The transition is so fast that it can surprise even experienced consumers.
• Main effect: An intense, heavy body load spreads and inevitably leads to a complete “couch-lock”. The mind remains amazingly clear and can take on a dream-like, psychedelic quality.
• Finale: The effect leads to a deep, restful and long-lasting sleep. Waking up the next morning is often characterized by a relaxed afterglow.
• Medical: Extremely effective for severe chronic pain, severe sleep disorders (insomnia), loss of appetite (especially due to chemotherapy), muscle cramps and stress-related illnesses.

Sensory experience:

• Aroma: A complex mix of sharp diesel and earthy pine notes, underpinned by a hint of citrus and a distinct chemical undertone reminiscent of fuel.
• Taste: Surprisingly smooth despite the aggressive aroma. When smoked or vaporized, earthy, resinous flavours unfold with a diesel finish and a slight lemon freshness.
• Appearance: The buds are extremely dense, almost rock-hard, and covered in such a thick layer of milky trichomes that they appear almost white. Orange pistils and deep purple hues break through the resinous sea.

Detailed cultivation information:

• Growth pattern: Compact, bushy growth with short internodes. Shows typical Indica growth.
• Flowering time: 8-9 weeks indoors; end of October outdoors.
• Yield: Medium to high (450-550 g/m² indoors; 500-650 g/plant outdoors).
• Climate requirements: Prefers a warm and dry climate. Is moderately resistant to mold, but good ventilation is essential due to the dense buds.
• Nutrient requirements: A heavy feeder, especially during flowering. Requires high doses of phosphorus and potassium, but reacts sensitively to over-fertilization.

Optimum light recipe settings:
The King of Yield is the perfect choice for Dante’s Inferno. Its aggressive, high-intensity light-push in the critical flowering phase forces the plant to put all its energy into the production of massive, trichome-covered buds.

Professional tips:

• Training: Low-stress training (LST) is ideal for creating a flat, even canopy and maximizing light penetration.
• Pruning: Regularly defoliate the lower, low-light areas to direct energy to the main colas and improve air circulation.
• Harvest: A 48-hour dark phase before harvesting increases trichome production even further. Dry slowly at 15-18°C and 50% humidity.

Medical applications:

• Strong analgesia: One of the best varieties for patients with neuropathic pain or arthritis.
• Sleep induction: Has a reliable sedative effect in treatment-resistant sleep disorders.
• Appetite stimulation: Extremely effective against loss of appetite and cachexia.
• Muscle relaxant: Relieves severe tension and cramps.

Consumption recommendations:

• Experience: Absolutely not for the inexperienced or those with a low tolerance.
• Dosage: Microdosing is strongly recommended. “Start low, go slow” is the mantra here.
• Timing: Exclusively for evening or night-time use. Daytime use is not practical due to the intense sedation.
• Method: Vaporization at 190-200°C to extract the full spectrum of terpenes and cannabinoids.

Conclusion:
Dante’s Inferno is the definitive choice for medical power users and potency purists who will stop at nothing. In combination with the aggressive “Yield King” light recipe, this strain reveals its hellish power and delivers yields of the highest, numbing quality. A hellhound that needs to be kept on a chain.
