New Strains Alert: Jesus, Double Dutch, Astroboy, Pine Tar Kush, and More

A racey, rank sweet and sour fruity and grapey melon flavour. Frosty nugs with light greens to purples with bright pink pistils.

This strain is like no other.  I like daytime sativas that provide a more clear headed high and there is no better one than this. Astroboy has a very light and pleasant citrus taste and smell. It has a strong and uplifting high that will hit you quickly and last a few hours.  What is amazing with this strain is that you has your mind thinking very clear and creatively to take on any mental task.  It's very energetic without having your heart race too fast. The focus you get is second to none and it will have you motivated to get things done. I wish it was available in more places.

Strong high that will keep you active while relaxing pressure and tension in your head. Alert and meditative, this strain may benefit depression, PTSD and lack of energy. Also, may be helpful for migraines and anxiety.

Definitely one of the best morning or daytime strains for relaxation but still retaining the ability to get shit done! Great smoke and flavor with a mental clarity  and energy that is second to none. I don't agree with the high paranoia rating, just not my experience.

Amazing energetic effect, very energetic when vaped

Astroboy really puts you into the jetpack, and launches you off way above "Cloud 9." It's a very uplifting, happy, creative, and euphoric with mild talkativeness. Great for users who have ADHD/ADD, Anxiety, Stress, Bi-Polar, and other disorders.
Astroboy delivers, and carries the promise to keep you going throughout the day with a nice buzz to carry you forward

energy and creativity, great sativa, tasteful

Astroboy

<p>Ortega by Mr. Nice Seeds is an <a href="/strains/lists/category/indica">indica</a> strain bred from <a href="/strains/northern-lights">Northern Lights</a> genetics. Since its creation in the mid-1980s, Oretga has&nbsp;offered growers heavy yields of resinous, <a href="/strains/lists/flavor/sweet">sweet</a>-smelling buds that finish flowering in just 6 to 8 weeks. Its effects are heavily tranquilizing and help to&nbsp;usher in <a href="/strains/lists/effect/sleepy">sleep</a> with late night use.&nbsp;</p>


Ortega

<p>Apollo 13 consistently receives quite a bit of praise that has come to be expected with strains created by breeders&nbsp;Brothers Grimm. A cross between two of their other successful strains, P75 and Genius (a <a href="/strains/jack-herer">Jack Herer</a> <a href="/news/growing/cannabis-genotypes-and-phenotypes-what-makes-a-strain-unique">phenotype</a>), this strain has a decorated lineage. Apollo 13 has the distinction of being especially rare as it is said that only 500 seeds came from the original stock and the few cuttings are the stuff of legend. This plant is less finicky than most and is often recommended for new grower. It also flowers very quickly at 7-8 weeks, producing large sticky buds. Apollo 13&rsquo;s aroma is unique and very pungent. Its scent has been described as peppery and earthy with a punch of both sour fruit and citrus, while the taste takes on the herbal notes of tea with a skunky aftertaste. As its name suggests, this strain will have your head in the clouds as its effects are cerebral and energizing. While the more popular version of this hybrid is the sativa-dominant plant, be aware that an indica-dominant version is also out there.</p>
