Gandalf, occasionally marketed as eXo Gandalf, is a sativa-dominant hybrid with a 70:30 split in favor of the sativa. It results from crossing eXo White, Granddaddy Purple, and King Kong, yielding a daytime-leaning lineage that can deliver a potent, uplifting start. With THC commonly in the 20–27% range, this strain tends to produce a bright, quick-onset head high that can spark creativity and sharpen focus as the day begins.
The elevated mood and energized clarity make it easy to stay engaged with tasks or conversations, often accompanied by a buoyant sense of motivation and sociability. The effects are long-lasting enough to support sustained daytime activity, and many users find Gandalf helpful for managing chronic stress, fatigue, or mood fluctuations, with potential relief for headaches or nausea for some individuals.
Flavors skew citrusy and fruity, with creamy grape tones and tropical sweetness, finishing with a zesty sour edge on the exhale. The aroma mirrors these notes, weaving citrus, pine, pungency, and spice into a woodsy-tropical profile. In the flower, buds appear long and pepper-shaped with minty green coloration, accentuated by bright orange hairs and a frosty coat of minty-white trichomes, creating a visual hint of the lively experience to come.
