Residing in the Pacific Northwest, breeders at Dungeons Vault Genetics tend to keep a pretty low profile. Perhaps it’s because they produce absolutely amazing strains like Brandywine and don’t want to be put into the limelight. A strong bud that won first place in the Indica category at the 2017 Dope Awards in Seattle, it’s a cross between Grandpa’s Breath and Pink Champagne.

Brandywine doesn’t have a super public set of data to her name, but rumor has it that her THC potency measures in at a whopping 31%. Dense nugs feature dark amber pistils and an incredibly thick coating of purple trichomes, so we’re inclined to believe she is as strong as people say. Those who have a sweet tooth will love the flavors and aromas this bud brings, as each inhale blends sweet fruit with a sugary note of flowers.

A high that will last you until bedtime, Brandywine hits with an initial cerebral boost that infuses you with happiness. There won’t be a care in the world after you take a hit, and soon after, physical effects will come on just as strong. Waves of warm relaxation start at your head and make their way to your toes, offering sedating effects and a tinge of hunger as well. Depending on your tolerance, you might be glued to the couch, so it’s recommended that you prepare snacks ahead of time.

Ideal for helping users to unwind at the end of a long day, Brandywine soothes even the worst cases of anxiety and depression in a heartbeat. Euphoria has no boundaries during this long-lasting high, so try this bud when you’ve had a particularly rough day. Other medical ailments including insomnia and generalized bodily pain are also addressed, and due to the munchies you’ll experience, individuals with a loss of appetite may want to smoke a bit before eating.

Seeds of Brandywine do seem to be fairly difficult to come by, but if you’re fortunate enough to find some, approach this plant with care. Nearly all growing environments will be just fine, but you may want to keep a close eye on her to ensure she has enough space to branch out. Maturation time is between 8 and 9 weeks and most say that her yields are average.

Absolutely delicious flavors along with a smooth blend of effects make Brandywine a bud you have to try. Those on the West Coast will likely have an easy time finding her, so make sure to stock up and always have some on hand. One never knows when a bad day will hit, and this bud will absolutely become your light at the end of the tunnel if you’re having a case of the Mondays.
