About Secret Recipe

Secret Recipe is a strain with a complex aroma and well-balanced effects. Created by Connoisseur Genetics, the operation behind varieties like Titanium, this strain’s lineage was originally a closely-guarded secret. However, its breeders have since leaked this formerly secret recipe in digital cultivation forum International Cannagraphic in the name of medical transparency: Secret Recipe is a cross between a backcrossed Chemdawg father and a mother that's a blend of Sour Diesel and Abusive OG.

Secret Recipe stands out with stunningly large flowers. These buds adhere in dense, chunky pieces that have a spadelike shape, tapering down from a broad base into a pointed tip.

This smoke leaves behind a fruity taste with some subtle diesel notes on the exhale.

Despite their size, though, Secret Recipe typically offers a lower than average total yield of flowers.
