Trix strain guide
Trix is a sativa from Riot Seeds, bred from Colombian Gold and Chemdawg D. People know it for a fruity, citrusy smell with a sour chemical edge and a focused, energetic feel that suits the daytime.
Where does Trix come from?
Trix comes from Riot Seeds, and two strain databases give the same parents: Colombian Gold, a classic South American sativa, and Chemdawg D, a cut from the Chemdawg family known for its sharp, fuel-like smell.
It's listed as a sativa, with one strain database putting it around 90% sativa. You may also see it spelled Trixx or Triks.
What does Trix smell and taste like?
Trix smells fruity and sour, with berry, cherry and citrus over a chemical, herbal note that hints at its Chemdawg side. One strain database's reviewers also mention lime, strawberry, tropical fruit and even rose, and some describe it as sweet and sherbet-like.
One strain database lists limonene, caryophyllene and myrcene as its main terpenes, though it also says the dominant one isn't firmly established. Limonene fits the citrus and caryophyllene the peppery, chemical bite. One reviewer called the inhale harsh.
Trix effects: what people report
People most often describe Trix as focused, energetic and uplifted, with a creative, motivated feel and a fair amount of giggling. Most save it for the day rather than the evening.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious, though others say it didn't make them edgy at all.
How strong is Trix?
Trix is moderate by modern standards. Listings put it at about 13% to 20% THC, with very little CBD.
That makes it a reasonable pick if very strong strains aren't for you, but start small anyway. Your label's THC and CBD numbers matter more than the name; see our guide to reading cannabis labels.
Buying Trix in Canada
Trix is not one of the most common strain names, so check the label for the producer and parents to make sure it's the Colombian Gold and Chemdawg D cross.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its fruit.
Trix vs Colombian Gold
Colombian Gold is one of Trix's parents, an old South American sativa with an earthy, sweet smell. Trix keeps the upbeat, energetic reputation but adds fruit and a sour chemical edge from its Chemdawg side. Colombian Gold is the more traditional, earthy option, while Trix is fruitier and sharper. If you like classic sativas, try Colombian Gold. If you want the same lift with more fruit, go for Trix.
