About El Chapo

Flavours
Diesel, Skunky, Sour, Sweet

Irony is never lost within the cannabis community, and the indica-dominant strain dubbed El Chapo is just one such example. Rather than being short as the name would suggest, plants can get rather tall with heavy yields, making this bud a favourite in the growing community. Created by Sour Genetics in London, El Chapo is a cross between Sour Diesel IBL and Headbanger BX. Perfect after a long day, many report that her high is heavier than you’d expect.

Blending the flavours and aromas of both parents, El Chapo takes on a mixture of fuel and fruit. She’s described as being sour and acidic with a touch of sweetness that helps to balance things out.

While this strain might be ideal for some during the afternoon, most users should probably wait until the evening before indulging. In most cases, El Chapo’s high is hard-hitting and comes on with a rush of happiness that can sometimes bring with it a sense of energy or the inclination to be more social. Potentially a great option for an evening get together with friends, things soon take a turn as users experience her strong indica side. This strain typically relaxes smokers to the point of nearly being locked to the couch, yet allows your happy mood to remain intact.

El Chapo’s popularity grew quickly from her birth in 2015 and once word spread beyond London, it seemed the world suddenly had to get their hands on this powerful strain. Prepare yourself for an intense flavour to hit your taste-buds and for an equally strong high to work its way from head to toe. Newer users may want to take it easy with this gal or avoid her completely, as El Chapo’s effects are reported to be quite sedating.
