The Stinking Rose Overview
From the lab panel — 19-24% THC, <1% CBD. From grower reports — 450-550 g/m² yield, floral/earthy dominant in cured flower. moderate grow.
Smell-first growers will recognize The Stinking Rose before they even open the tent — floral top notes cutting through a deep, damp earthiness that lingers on the fingers long after trimming. DNA Genetics bred this one from Sour Garlic Cookies × Strawberry Banana, and the parentage explains both the complex nose and the potency: independent lab panels have clocked THC in the 19–24% range on well-finished cuts. It's an indica, feminized, and runs its flower cycle in roughly 8 weeks, making it a reasonable choice for growers who want a predictable schedule without chasing autoflower yields. Indoor grids typically land between 450–550 g/m² under dialed-in light, which is a solid return for a moderate-difficulty plant that won't punish small mistakes but does reward good environmental control. Effects lean toward the heavy, sociable side — relaxed without being locked-down.
Best suited for intermediate growers comfortable managing canopy density on a stocky indica frame.
