UB40
Parents
The UB40 strain is an indica-leaning hybrid created by Max Yields, founder of 3rd Coast Genetics, through a cross of Sherb Cream Pie with Pure Michigan. Sharing its name with the British reggae band, this Michigan-bred cultivar stands out with a rich, gassy aroma layered over thick, creamy undertones and a subtle earthiness that lingers after each exhale. The flavor mirrors that profile, delivering a pungent fuel-forward hit tempered by smooth, velvety notes.
Consumers who've tried UB40 often report a heady onset that settles into full-body relaxation, making it a go-to strain for evening sessions with creative intent. Reviewers frequently mention an uptick in appetite alongside a pleasant, tingly warmth that spreads gradually. Visually, the buds are hard to miss, with an exceptionally dense structure, dark coloring, and a heavy coat of trichomes that reflects its resin-rich lineage.
UB40 is a moderate-difficulty strain that stays compact at 3 to 4 feet indoors, making it a good fit for growers working with limited vertical space. Outdoors, it stretches to 5 or 6 feet with proper support and thrives in warm, dry climates between 68 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The exceptionally dense bud structure means you'll want to keep humidity around 40 to 50% during flowering to avoid mold issues in those tight colas. This strain rewards growers who've got a few cycles under their belt, and people often report yields around 400 to 500 g/m² indoors or 14 to 18 oz/plant outdoors when conditions stay dialed in across an 8- to 9-week flowering window.
