Mr Nice

Overview

Howard Marks, the cannabis smuggler extraordinaire has a strain in his honor, and it is none other than Mr. Nice. Mr. Nice is an indica dominant hybrid strain with a luscious taste and a fierce body melt and a luscious taste. It is 80% Indica and 20% Sativa; this makes it very much Indica leaning as you can tell from the compact buds and short stature.

Mr. Nice was bred by Sensi Seeds, master breeders with over 60 hybrid strains to boot. In the 80s, Mr. Nice was released as a limited edition strain and back then it was known as “G13 x HP.” The strain is a cross between the phenomenal government strain G13 and Sensi seed’s Hash Plant strain. In 1999, Sensi Seeds released the strain into the market from whence it has made a name for itself. In 2004, Mr. Nice took 2nd place in the High Life Cup. It has 13%-16% THC and 1% CBD.

When you open a jar of Mr. Nice’s buds, the aroma that will rise to greet you is typical of marijuana, nothing out of the norm. Mr. Nice has a strong musky scent with some piney and woody undertones. What may catch you off guard is the tiny bits of sweetness that you may find when you take a long inhale.

The effects of Mr. Nice set in slowly but once they arrive they come with a bang! Be warned that Mr. Nice is a lazy strain that can sap your motivation for doing anything constructive. This world best when you medicate on this strain in the evening when you can afford to sleep. People struggling with insomnia can hop onto this benefit as Mr. Nice is sure to give you some quality shut-eye. Being a strong Indica, patients turn to this strain mostly to wade off insomnia and treat chronic fatigue and exhaustion. Patients have also used this strain for glaucoma, nausea and vomiting, and arthritis.

Mr. Nice will come with a few side effects such as dry mouth and eyes, but the positive effects far outweigh the negatives.

Mr. Nice takes the Indica growth characteristics, producing short plants that carry dense buds. The leaves are dark and heavily frosted with milky white resin glands. Orange colored pistils turn brown as the plant ages are visible alongside the buds.

This strain is not great for beginners as it requires a lot of attention. Over time, it gets easier to grow and the yields are encouraging.
