The Stinking Rose

The Stinking Rose is an indica-dominant variety born from a cross of Sour Garlic and Strawberry Banana. With THC typically between 15–25% and CBD under 1%, it delivers a pronounced, body-forward high while still leaving room for a light cerebral lift. Expect dense, resinous buds that pack pronounced sweet-strawberry notes layered over a pungent, garlicky spice — a contrasting flavor profile that’s as memorable as the name suggests. Effects lean toward relaxed and happy, with many users reporting creative sparks alongside a heavy sense of physical calm. It’s well-suited for evening use or any moment when you want to unwind without becoming completely sedated; the indica backbone soothes muscle tension and stress while the mid-level THC can brighten mood and inspire low-pressure creativity. As a grower, The Stinking Rose stays compact and indica-typical in stature, making it a good fit for indoor setups or small outdoor spaces. Flowering time is reliably around nine weeks, and yields are rated high — expect dense colas and above-average production when plants get proper light and feeding. Overall it’s a productive, aroma-forward cultivar for growers and consumers who like bold flavor and a relaxing, mood-lifting effect.
