After reading this Animal Face strain review, you’ll probably want to get your hands on some of this rare ganja.

Seed Junky Genetics is responsible for bringing this sativa-dominant beauty to life, but they aren’t overly keen to share their recipe with the world, making it difficult to find growing stock or even a bud of Animal Face at your local dispensary.

Knowledge is power, so let’s learn why this strain is sought-after so when it does hit the shelves, you’ll know whether or not you need to scoop it up!

Animal Face Strain Genetics

Is Animal Face an indica or sativa strain? Seed Junky Genetics crossed Face Off OG and Animal Mints to deliver this sativa-dominant cannabis strain.

Face Off OG, also known as Faceoff OG Kush, is a popular phenotype of the legendary OG Kush lineage. It’s an indica-dominant strain that can put even the most experienced cannabis consumers on the couch for a nap.

It has also been used to parent Do-Si-Dos, a quite popular hybrid strain in its own right.

Animal Mints is a smorgasbord of genetics, being a cross of Animal Cookies, Blue Power, and Girl Scout Cookies. It offers a strong-but-balanced high with sweet pungency and a minty exhale.

It’s been used to parent other strains as well, including Kush Mints.

Both parents of Animal Face learn towards a relaxing experience, so it’s no surprise that the resulting marijuana offers the same style of high.

Seed Junky Genetics does offer seeds to the public through many seed banks online, but they don’t regularly stock their unique strains that often. Instead, they keep their genetics under wraps to create more demand for their beautiful strains.

If you are looking to grow your own batch of Animal Face, you need to be notified when the feminized seeds come back into stock at your favorite seed bank or score some clones from a nursery or someone who is already growing this rare cannabis strain.

These genetics are so rare that Animal Face is even hard to find on the shelves at many dispensaries. It’s currently popular on the west coast cannabis market but may spread as word gets out about its reputation.

Growing Yield

The lack of data about growing Animal Face has to do with the fact that finding seeds is next-to-impossible at the time of writing (hopefully this has changed by the time you are reading this!).

This sativa-dominant hybrid can produce plants that grow to around 5 feet tall, regardless of an indoor or outdoor setting.

These plants probably do best indoors as they don’t stretch as high as other sativas that can easily top 8-10 feet tall.

When harvest time comes around, indoor growers can expect to harvest 1-2 ounces of bud per square foot of plant, while outdoor growers can expect more like 2-4 ounces per square foot.

Even though indoor growing allows for more control over the growing environment, outdoor plants always seem to outshine them when it comes to yields.

That makes sense though, right? After all, you can’t simulate the natural sunlight that well indoors!

Animal Face Strain Flowering Time

Animal Face has a flowering time of around 9-11 weeks, depending on the phenotype grown. Outdoor growers can expect to harvest in late-September.

Animal Face buds feature dark green colors with deep orange hairs that mingle with a blanket of amber-colored trichomes.

When you choose to harvest is up to you. If you want more THC from this already heavy-hitter of a strain, then opt to harvest when the trichomes are milky-white instead of amber.

However, if you want to enhance the already intense body-high effects, amber-colored trichomes are the sure way to go when you harvest. Most growers opt for a mix of milky-white and amber-colored trichomes to attempt to get the best of both worlds.

Animal Face Strain THC Percentage

Animal Face can be found anywhere between 18-25%, but between 21-25% is the most common.

While there are surely more potent strains on the market, Animal Face is one strain that is best reserved for experienced users. Beginners should tread lightly to avoid couch-lock or early bedtime.

This bud strain is best reserved for evening use. The experience starts with a rushing euphoria affecting your mental state.

This quickly turns into a haze where focusing becomes quite challenging. The high melts down into your body and a pure state of relaxation and numbness overtake your physical presence.

Flavor & Aroma

Sweet pine and earthy diesel dominate the aroma. The flavor is more akin to earthy mint and sweet nuttiness. Most users describe the essence of Animal Face as fresh.

The terpenes that dominate Animal Face are Caryophyllene, Limonene, Myrcene, and Humulene.

Caryophyllene helps combat the effects of inflammation.

Limonene helps ward off the effects of stress and anxiety.

Myrcene helps consumers relax and is found in a large number of cannabis strains.

Humulene also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Those who enjoy the terpene profile and effects of Animal Face will find a few other strains enjoyable as well, including Cake Batter, White Tahoe Cookies, Grease Monkey, and Wedding Crasher.

There are over 300,000 jobs in the cannabis industry. CTU trained me for one of them!

Medical marijuana patients lucky enough to score some Animal Face reportedly love it for treating conditions like:

  • Chronic Inflammation
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Appetite Loss
  • Nausea
  • Chronic Pain
  • Arthritis
  • Muscles Spasms & Cramps

The sheer amount of THC present in Animal Face may scare off newcomers to medical cannabis, but those with experience will love the medicinal benefits that come along with a higher dosage of THC.

Final Words On The Animal Face Weed Strain

Finding feminized seeds or clones of Animal Face is currently very difficult.

Seed Junky Genetics does ship out seeds to various seed banks, so your best bet is to check your favorite online seed banks for their stock and get notified when Animal Face comes back in stock!
