Special Ops

There are two distinct cannabis strains that go by the name Special Ops (or Spec Ops), each with different origins and genetics.

Origin 1: Spec Ops from 303 Seeds

The original Spec Ops is an indica-dominant hybrid bred by 303 Seeds. This version is a cross between Alien Rock Candy and Bio Diesel, creating a potent combination with impressive genetics. The strain features bright green, dense nugs with strong notes of earthiness, spice, and herbs in both aroma and flavor. A distinct skunk undertone hints at its potency. Users report balanced but intense effects — highly sedating physically while simultaneously sending the mind on a creative journey. 303 Seeds notes this strain is particularly suitable for extractions and commercial growing. This version is often simply called "Spec Ops."

Origin 2: Special Ops from Ziplock Seeds

A more recent strain called Special Ops was developed by Ziplock Seeds with completely different genetics. This version is a balanced hybrid created by crossing Super Charger with Jiffy Cake. Unlike the 303 Seeds version, this Special Ops has a more even hybrid profile. While less information is available about this newer strain's specific characteristics, it represents an entirely different genetic lineage despite sharing the same name.

Regardless of origin, consumers report that both versions are best suited for experienced users due to their potency. Beginners should approach with caution, as neither version of Special Ops is considered a beginner-friendly strain.
