Grow & Smoke Report: Unicorn Whip by Dirty Bird Genetics

Inside the Grow:

A cross between the Unicorn Poop by Thug Pug and Twenty20 Mendocino’s Bubba Whip, the Unicorn Whip was a project re-bred by Dirty Bird Genetics over the past year due to high demand and lots of positive feedback from growers who had received it as a freebie and loved its great extraction potential and undeniable bag appeal.

The Unicorn Whip grows very similarly to the Unicorn Poop both in plant morphology and bud structure: they’re tall with long internodal spacing and they drip with gritty, gassy trichomes. The Bubba Whip’s kush lineage is apparent in the plant’s coloration and calyx formation. In testing the Unicorn Whip, we found a surprising Bubba-Whip dominant outlier pheno that appeared in approximately 1 in 10 plants and was short, squat, bushy, and stacked very nicely. We chose one of these as an obvious keeper along with the best of the more dominant, taller phenotype.

Much like their parents, the real magic happens in the final 1-2 weeks of flower in a Unicorn Whip grow. The plants gain a lot of their mass and a lot of their bag appeal in these final days, finishing between day 55-60 with ripe, snow-white, glistening flowers. The terpenes, which also developed late, range from rubbing alcohol to a bright gas, aligning with their parents more musky, gassy, earthy terpene profiles.

Expect a 2x stretch, and staking required. We suspect these plants would be great for scrogging. Most notably, this bud makes for some killer extractions, so if you’re an extract lover, don’t sleep on this one!

Smoke Session:

The dense and vibrant green buds of Unicorn Whip can become a close friend to any indica-lover and this friendship would include a stress-free bond with zero cares. You can expect to a more savory experience with an even blend of gas, earth, and funky musk. I wouldn’t include Unicorn Whip in any plans that require a lot of movement or mental power. She is better suited for the evening as the campfire sizzles out or as you start to fade away while your favorite movie is playing in the background. Motivation and worries will melt away and all you can do is just be.
