Green Crack: How a Legendary Strain Got Its Most Hated Name

Video thumbnail for the history of the Green Crack strain and its name

The legendary strain behind a very famous name

Some strains are famous for their genetics; this one is famous for its name as much as anything. Green Crack, the legendary 90s sativa, picked up its name through pop-culture history rather than in a breeder's notebook, and the story of how that happened has become part of the strain's legend in its own right. The video above digs into that naming history and the line underneath it.

A name is not the genetics

Whatever anyone calls a strain, the plant is what it is: the living record of the line that produced it. Names can be loved, hated, or argued about, and they can change overnight, but the genetics underneath only stay genuine if the living line is kept true.

Keeping lines true is the entire purpose of CloneBuzzz Genetics. Verified living clones carry a strain's real character intact from grower to grower, so that the plant underneath the legend stays what it always was, whatever the legend happens to be called this decade. The genetics outlast the name; that is exactly why they are worth preserving.
