Trade Winds, sometimes styled Tradewinds or TradeWinds, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid with a 65% indica to 35% sativa tilt. It is the product of the cross between a Chama Himachal Pradesh x Lesotho lineage and a Kashmiri Sirnoo x Yarkhun lineage. The result is a classic indica core enriched by a lighter, liftier edge, delivering a long lasting, balanced high that starts gently and settles into both mind and body.
In the jar, the buds present as oversized, heavy, heart-shaped forest green nugs with olive undertones, accented by thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny white crystals. The palate encounters a spicy, flowery peppery profile with a faint skunky exhale, while the aroma leans earthy and herbal with peppery skunk overtones that intensify as you grind and smoke.
Effects begin with a creeping mental uplift that brings a buoyant, creative rush, accompanied by a mood-boosting happiness and a sense of clarity. A deeply relaxing physical calm follows, washing over the body without locking you to the couch. With THC typically ranging from 15 to 19 percent, Trade Winds is often chosen to help manage chronic stress, headaches or migraines, depression or mood swings, and fatigue, while still allowing for flexible daytime use.
