At Space Trees, we love to find unique and rare terpene profiles for our library, and we have found a terpene beast with this one. We hunted through many packs of Rotten seeds from offensive selections and found many very interesting phenotypes. Two phenotypes stood out for exceptional terpene profiles, the Rotten #5 has heavy rotting fruit and meat terpenes with moth ball tones, kind of like an old suit in an opportunity shop. Rotten #2 has intense, sickly, sweet, yet sour yogurt tones. We liken these tones to off chocolate milk and old cereal. The effects of these strains are powerful and euphoric, with a long-lasting high that is suitable for most occasions. The bag appeal on these is also next level, just be aware, if you are carrying a pack in your pocket, everyone is going to know you are holding, she’s a stanker!

Deep Dive
Parent Strain 1: GMO (Garlic Cookies)
GMO Cookies is a unique cannabis cultivar developed by Mamiko Seeds through crossing Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies genetics. The strain has become popular among cannabis connoisseurs, delivering potent effects with THC levels documented between 22-30%. Its distinctive name refers to its Garlic, Mushroom, and Onion aroma profile combined with its Cookie lineage. While it hasn’t yet received formal industry awards, GMO Cookies has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community for its characteristic terpene profile and effects.
Parent Strain 2: Hellcat
Hellcat is a balanced hybrid cannabis variety created by crossing Raskal’s OG with SFV OG Kush. The cultivar is noted for its adaptable properties, reportedly providing energizing or relaxing effects depending on the user’s current state. Users report experiencing enhanced creativity, sociability, and euphoria when active, while finding deep relaxation and physical comfort when at rest.
With THC content averaging 27-30%, Hell Cat has been utilized by some individuals managing chronic pain, mood disorders, stress, anxiety, appetite issues, and sleep difficulties. The variety is characterized by its citrus and pine aromatics, featuring woody undertones. The flowers present as dense, emerald-colored clusters adorned with orange pistils and a coating of trichomes.
Flavor Aroma and Visuals
Both of our Rotten phenos are visually striking with intense aroma profiles. The flowers are dense, covered in trichomes and display a range of yellow and light green hues. The bud structure is chunky and gnarly with fat calyx and great leaf to bract ratio, making rotten super easy to trim, leaving those gnarly, chunky nugs in tact for the consumer.
