Keep reading to learn all that there is to know about the Slapz cannabis strain, its origins, genetics, effects, aromas, and more.

History of The Slapz Cannabis Strain

Slapz is a cannabis hybrid bred by Exotic Genetix. While now a well-respected name in the cannabis genetics game, Exotic Genetics is the work of a humble grower and breeder known as Mike or Big Stimmy. Originally from Tacoma, Washington, Mike started his cannabis career working in a grow shop where he was constantly approached by cannabis growers dealing with pests. Knowing that most pesticides didn't work, Mike encouraged growers to properly clean their grow rooms and start fresh using clean seeds as opposed to clones, which often come carrying bugs and pests. Noting a lack of good seed stock, Mike began creating his own and giving them out to the growers coming to his store, most of whom were medical patients growing their own medicine.

Today, Big Stimmy runs Exotic Genetix—one of North America's most renowned cannabis genetics brands. With countless trophies and cannabis cups to its name, Exotic Genetix is renowned for producing an ever-growing catalogue of super-potent cannabis varieties. Some of the brand's most popular strains include:

• Supernatural

• Starfighter

• Cookies & Cream

• Grease Monkey

• Strawberries & Cream

Genetic Lineage Of Slapz

Exotic Genetix created Slapz by crossing its own Grease Monkey with the iconic Runtz, resulting in a slightly indica-leaning hybrid. Below we'll explore both of these parent strains in more detail, including their grow traits, aromas, and effects to see what they may have imparted on Slapz.

Grease Monkey, Slapz' first parent, is one of Exotic Genetix flagship strains. Created around 2016/2017, Grease Monkey combines genetics from the almighty GG4 (previously known as Gorilla Glue or Original Glue) and Cookies & Cream, arguably one of Mike's most successful creations. This strain packs around 27% THC and a mix of terpenes that combine to produce a rich aroma of earthy vanilla, skunk, and dank petroleum. Grease Monkey is also known to produce a heavy indica-like stone that numbs the body and leaves users feeling lazy, hungry, and often sleepy. Hence, it's no wonder Grease Monkey has become so popular among recreational indica lovers and medical patients needing lasting relief from pain, sleep issues, or other ailments.

Slapz' second parent, Runtz, is arguably one of the most sought-after strains of modern times. Combining genetics from two heavyweight US hybrids, Zkittlez and Gelato, Runtz is known for its sugary, candy-sweet and fruity aroma, smooth flavor, and uplifting euphoria. While an array of breeders and seedbanks continue to bring new Runtz phenotypes to market, the original Runtz was created by The Runtz Crew in 2017. Like Cookies, Runtz is one of the few cannabis strains with a lasting lifestyle brand built around it with deep ties to hip-hop and street culture.

Physical Characteristics of Slapz

Slapz is reportedly around 60% indica-dominant, which is evident through its grow traits. These plants typically veg aggressively, growing into stocky bushes with closely-spaced internodes, broad foliage, and strong branches. Once in bloom, Slapz plants may stretch before getting heavy with chunky flowers. Depending on how she is cultivated, Slapz can produce buds ranging from a lively green to dark, almost blackish-purple color. The strain's thick coating of resin also contributes a silver sheen to its flowers, contrasted by its fine orange pistils. True to its indica heritage, Slapz produces flowers with bulging calyxes that add a lot of weight and density to its flowers.

Properties/Effects of Slapz

Slapz is a very potent strain that can pack up to 30% THC or more. Its thick, sugary resin is also rich in a variety of terpenes that may include limonene, myrcene, humulene, terpinolene, and others. These compounds combine to give Slapz its pungent aroma that combines notes of tangy diesel and fuel (reminiscent of Grease Monkey) with pine overtones, a little sweetness from the Runtz, as well as a spicy finish. Users with a more sensitive nose might also pick up on notes of lavender, citrus, and cinnamon.

Most smokers agree that Slapz is very strong and produces effects that'll slap you in the face (it's in the name) and leave you glued to your seat in a daze. Users with a high tolerance or suffering from conditions like anxiety or ADD report using this strain in the morning or during the day, as its intensely relaxing stone helps bring them down to a calm state of focus. Most users, however, recommend this strain for the evening, as they find it too sedating to do anything other than relax for a while before crawling into bed. Slapz' effects hit pretty quickly and may be euphoric at first before creeping into a heavy stone that'll leave your body feeling weightless and your mind lost in a dream. Note that, given its potency, Slapz might not be a good choice for beginner smokers with a low tolerance who'll likely find its effects overwhelming.

Uses of Slapz

Given its strong effects and potent aroma, it's no wonder that Slapz is very popular among recreational users—especially those with a tolerance looking for a strong strain. Given its heavy-handed effects, recreational smokers usually report enjoying this strain in the evenings to relax before bed. Some activities that recreational users report pair well with this strain include:

• Gaming

• Watching movies or TV series

• Sex

• Drawing or similar creative leisure activities

• Listening to music

• Meditation or yoga

With its potent effects, Slapz also appeals to medical marijuana patients, especially those looking for lasting relief from chronic illnesses. According to reports from medical cannabis users, Slapz may help alleviate symptoms and conditions like:

• Anxiety

• Stress

• Depression

• Sleep issues

• Pain

• PTSD

• ADD/ADHD

• Appetite loss

• Mood disorders

• Seizures

Like all high-potency cannabis strains, Slapz can cause side effects, including:

• Headaches

• Dry mouth/eyes

• Sedation/lethargy

Note that, while some users find Slapz to be relaxing, others have reported that it leaves them feeling anxious. Hence, if you already suffer from anxiety, you may want to steer clear of this strain.

Cultivation/Production of Slapz

Slapz was originally available as regular and feminized seed stock from Exotic Genetix and other seedbanks. However, the strain is now out of stock. According to reports and photos from growers, young Slapz plants vegetate quite vigorously, producing bright green and broad leaves, as well as tightly-spaced internodes. Depending on environmental conditions, Slapz plants may take on darker hues as they mature, and outdoor plants are known to grow very tall. Topping, FIMing, and low-stress training techniques can help these plants produce multiple colas as well as control their vigorous growth. Once in bloom, Slapz plants seem to stretch moderately and take roughly 9 weeks to be harvest-ready. Mature Slapz flowers are typically very dense, with tight stacks of swollen calyxes and a frosty coat of trichomes.
