Need a good source of calcium? Mother’s Milk isn’t quite that, but it sure makes up for it in other ways. It brings substance in the form of relaxation and euphoria, and that’s what has made in so popular for those who smoke it.
Created by the same company that produced strains such as Tiger’s Milk and White Lotus, Bodhi Seeds are known for producing top quality strains that are bound to knock your socks off. However unlike these strains, Mother’s Milk has a much softer cerebral effect, that doesn’t overwhelm the smoker but perfectly calms them.
If this intrigues you, in the rest of the article we will be exploring the strain’s interesting heritage and how even beginners can attempt to grow Mother’s Milk.
What is the Mother’s Milk Cannabis Strain?
Mother’s Milk is a sativa dominant strain that typically stands at a 70%/30% divide. Sativa strains tend to be more energizing and uplifting than their indica counterparts and this is certainly true of this strain. While it does have a heady quality, you may experience a buzz of productivity too.
The strains genealogy is an interesting one, a mix between Appalachia and Nepali OG. Appalachia is an earthy sativa dominant strain also created by the company Bodhi Seeds. It’s a plant well-known for its strong medicinal qualities, including helping sleep disorders such as insomnia. This is because of its ability to relax the body and mind into a long slumber. On the other hand, Nepali OG is an indica dominant strain with extremely hard-hitting levels of THC, known to reach 21%. It provides a quick and intense full-body buzz and is known to inebriate the smoker into a serious case of ‘couch lock’.
Mother’s Milk seems to be a perfectly balanced creation of both these two strains. An uplifting initial buzz brought on by THC levels of 14% to 16%, and then an aftermath of tranquility throughout the body.
Mother’s Milk Cannabis Strain Aroma, Flavor and Appearance
Mother’s Milk isn’t a strain to blend into the background. In fact, its well-known for clusters of bright trichomes, that can appear white when shining in the light. This may be an inspiration for its name, as the trichomes can be milky in color. The buds are incredibly dense and often you’ll hear a satisfying crunch as you pull apart the stems to grind up the strain. The leaves on the plant are a healthy bright green, which adds to the strain’s vibrancy.
Many smokers remark on the interesting smell of this strain. Similarly to its name, the smell is often described as powdered milk with an earthy undertone. It can be surprisingly pleasant, especially for those who struggle with the skunky smells of other strains.
The flavor of Mother’s Milk is hard to pin down. There are a lot of interesting notes that have been experienced by fellow smokers, such as vanilla and honey – which explains its sweet fragrance. Citrus notes have also been recognized especially a zesty lime flavor. And of course, the earthy pine which is so common in marijuana strains is there too. The complexity of the flavor indicates that who the strain is grown by and where it is grown probably has a large impact on its taste.
