History & Genetics

With a name like Grandpa’s Stash, you might wonder if this balanced hybrid strain is the best thing since sliced bread (because after all, if Grandpa is smoking it he must know his stuff) or if it’s a bud that’s subpar and was discovered somewhere in the back of a dresser drawer.

Thankfully, this gal, crafted by Ethos in Colorado, takes on the former with a cross between three true old-school favorites. 1994 Super Skunk, 1992 OG Kush, and a cut of Afghan Kush from the 70s are all at play here, making this mysterious strain one that’s highly sought after. Ethos is commonly found with around 23% THC.

Appearance, Aroma, and Flavor

One look at her nugs can give users a pretty clear indication, as the green, blue, and purple hues are nearly indiscernible beneath a thick coating of trichomes. Bright orange hairs poke out from underneath, offering a bit of life to the snowy landscape. Grandpa’s Stash is rich in flavor, with a blend of skunk, pine, and incense that makes you somehow feel like you’ve been transported back in time.

Effects

This mental shift isn’t the only thing you’ll experience, as many users report that their high includes extreme feelings of euphoria coupled with deep relaxation that’s rooted in their bones. Some find that they have enough energy to go outside for a few hours, but ultimately this bud was designed to aid in chilling out and getting some one-on-one time with your couch. For many, Grandpa’s Stash brings on heavy feelings of arousal, leaving us wondering exactly what Grandpa was doing when he got high back in the day.

Growing

Given that so little is known about strain data alone, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that seeds or clones of this plant aren’t made available to consumers. If you’re lucky, dispensaries outside of Colorado might carry Grandpa’s Stash, but for now, it seems as if supplies are limited and might require you to take a mini vacation in order to get your hands on some. That’s not a surprise with Ethos, as their top-shelf bud is often produced in smaller quantities.

Since we know that home growing is out of the question, why not make it your mission to find Grandpa’s Stash before it’s gone forever? A strong mix of flavors coupled with a unique blend of effects that leads most to think she’s a 50/50 hybrid are just enough to get you moving on a mellow afternoon and powerful enough to lull you to sleep on the comedown. Keep in mind that everyone’s tolerance is different, so we’d suggest starting slow with this one.
