The Pacific
The Pacific Strain Overview (Hypothermia x Sticky's Marcy’s Playground Pheno)
Effect: The Pacific is a well-balanced hybrid that brings together the calming, relaxing effects of Hypothermia and the sweet, euphoric qualities of HarborGrow’s Marcy’s Playground. The Hypothermia genetics provide a smooth, mellow body high that helps you unwind without weighing you down. Meanwhile, Marcy’s Playground adds a delightful sense of relaxation, with a touch of uplifting euphoria, making this strain perfect for both daytime and evening use. Expect a relaxing high that starts with a gentle cerebral buzz, followed by a calm and comforting body sensation. The effects are not overly sedative, making The Pacific ideal for those who want to relax and enjoy a chill vibe without feeling too lethargic. It’s perfect for unwinding after work or enjoying some downtime with friends.
Taste & Smell: The Pacific is a true treat for the senses, with a rich and complex flavor profile. The Hypothermia genetics bring a sour blueberry candy floral aroma, offering a tangy, sweet fragrance that’s both refreshing and soothing. On the other hand, Marcy’s Playground contributes a unique, caramel-soaked, barrel-aged cherry and wood aroma, adding depth and a smooth, sweet earthiness. Together, these aromas create a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with the sour blueberry notes from Hypothermia complementing the rich, woody sweetness from Marcy’s Playground. The overall scent is inviting and warm, with hints of cherry and caramel adding a smooth, dessert-like quality, while the subtle woodiness rounds out the profile. The result is a complex and aromatic strain that’s both comforting and flavorful.
Growth: The Pacific inherits a mix of growth traits from its parent strains, making it relatively easy to manage with the right care. The Hypothermia genetics tend to require support during the flowering phase as the buds develop and can become heavy. However, Marcy’s Playground provides a sturdy, resilient structure, and it responds well to light penetration, producing excellent-sized lower buds with impressive trichome production. This combination means that while you’ll need to support the plant later in the flowering phase, it’s also a strain that rewards careful light management and space optimization. The plant itself is robust with solid branching and good resin production, making it suitable for both novice and intermediate growers who want a strain with strong yields and potent effects.
Suited for Beginners? The Pacific may present a bit of a challenge for beginner growers, as it requires some attention to light distribution and support in the flowering phase, especially due to the Hypothermia side’s tendency to require support. However, the sturdy structure of Marcy’s Playground makes it a bit more forgiving, and with proper care, the strain is manageable. Intermediate growers will likely appreciate the combination of strong bud development and high resin production. For those willing to put in a little extra effort, The Pacific is a rewarding strain that offers a balanced experience and great flavor.
