This sativa-heavy strain by Culta (70/30) out of Maryland is called Poochie Love. It has a wide range of THC percentages, with most labs suggesting the upper teens while others show results as low as 10% and as high as 30%. This means that breeding really matters when sampling Poochie Love. This includes the phenotype you get. There’s the most common, which is a cross between Face Off OG and Dog Shit, and the less common one, which is Face Off OG plus OG Kush. For clarity’s sake, we’ll be talking about the first one, though there are many similarities. The flavors of herbs, mint, black pepper, and hash combine to give Poochie Love a truly memorable impression, no matter which crop you’re sourcing from.

Poochie Love’s flowering period is long, up to 75 days. Unlike a lot of summer babies, Poochie Love loves cold weather. You’ll need the appropriate temperature controls or the right seasonal changes to get it right. Its plants grow moderately tall, with a muddy, brown appearance to its lumpy nugs, despite being speckled with vibrant orange pistils. The trichomes are dark brown. For terpenes, Poochie Love has a fantastic amount of Beta-Myrcene and Alpha-Pinene, which gives it its uniquely herbal, spicy, piney flavors. A little Limonene adds citrus undertones to the mix.

GROWING TIPS: Poochie Love grows leaves that are packed with sugary trichomes, though they’re dark in color. Experienced growers love to extract these parts of the leaves to collect resin for their concentrates and edibles.

Those terpenes create a tantalizingly flavorful strain that’s great for waking and baking. It’s earthy, herbal, fruity, and spicy on the exhale like a pinch of black pepper. The effects of the strain start pretty quickly and feel energetic. This strain motivates you to take on creative tasks, be sociable, and get going. You won’t be incredibly focused, but you’ll be perfect in conversation for a giggly good time.

Users who feel negativity when confronted with social tasks can use Poochie Love to gain self-esteem and energy. Stress, fatigue, depression, pain, and headaches are all things of the past on Poochie Love. We don’t recommend it for insomnia, however, as this strain will make you wired and ready to move.

Both growers that love their concentrates and users who need a big push to get motivated at the start of the day have made Poochie Love one of their new favorite pastimes. Since THC levels can range from 13% to 23%, users need to be on the lookout for what they’re buying compared to their experience level. So long as you’re careful, Poochie will deliver the Love.
