Intergalactic

Where does Intergalactic come from?

The cross most often given is Constantine x The Cube, two hard-to-find strains, and one strain database and several product listings use that pairing. Others disagree: Grow Diaries names Gorilla Glue and Constantine, and another database lists GG4 as a parent. Constantine shows up in most versions, but the full lineage is not well documented.

No breeder has clearly claimed it in the sources we checked. It's usually listed as strongly indica-leaning, around 80% indica, and you'll find it under the hybrid label.

What does Intergalactic smell and taste like?

This one is all funk and pine. Descriptions mention dank, pungent earth, fuel and pine on the nose, with a spicy diesel flavour on the exhale. Some people notice a woody, flowery side, and a few pick up a cool, almost minty finish or a faint fruitiness.

We couldn't find a source that publishes which terpenes lead for Intergalactic, so we haven't listed any. Reviewers have reported total terpene levels of around 2% to 2.5% on their products, but not the breakdown.

Intergalactic effects: what people report

People most often describe it as happy, euphoric and relaxed, with a tingly body feel and a creative, sometimes giggly headspace. Reports differ on energy: some find it calm and settling, others say it's more upbeat, and one reviewer said it turned sedating the more they had.

These are reports, not promises. The batch, the amount and your tolerance all change the experience. Dry mouth and dry eyes are common complaints, and some people mention feeling paranoid, which makes sense for a strain this strong.

How strong is Intergalactic?

Intergalactic is a high-THC strain. One strain database lists 22% to 26% and Grow Diaries an average near 24%, and reviewers on another database report individual products testing above 30%. CBD is minimal.

That's strong, so start with a small amount and wait before having more. The numbers on your label are what count, and our guide to THCA vs THC explains how those figures are reported.

Because the lineage is disputed, different producers may be growing different plants under this name. If the label lists parents, that tells you which version you have.

Check the THC, CBD and packaging date. Fuel and pine aromas hold up fairly well, but fresher flower still smells louder.

Intergalactic vs Gorilla Glue

Gorilla Glue is named as a parent in some accounts of Intergalactic, though that link isn't agreed on. The two share a lot: earthy, piney, diesel-heavy smells and high THC. Gorilla Glue is better known for a heavy, sticky body feel and is often called sleepy, while Intergalactic gets described as more euphoric and creative before it settles. If you want the classic couch-heavy fuel strain, pick Gorilla Glue. If you'd like a bit more lift up front, try Intergalactic.

Strains like Intergalactic

If you like Intergalactic, these share its fuel and pine character:

• Gorilla Glue: a possible parent, with the same earthy, piney diesel smell and a heavier feel.
• Chemdawg: the source of much of the fuel funk in strains like this.
• Sour Diesel: a sharper, more energetic take on the diesel smell.
