Appearance of the plants

Permanent Marker grows into a thick, stocky plant with chunky buds that are hard as rocks. The leaves are wide and deep green, and under the right conditions, the buds can flash colors like dark blue and forest green. Trichomes coat everything—like someone dumped powdered sugar all over the plant. You’ll notice the pistils turning fiery orange as harvest gets closer, and they look even brighter against the frosty backdrop. It’s a tough plant too—compact, strong, and built to hold up weighty colas without snapping branches.

The taste & smell

Crack open a jar of Permanent Marker and you’ll instantly understand the name. It smells loud—really loud. That sharp, gassy scent hits first, followed by a sweet candy-like aroma with hints of black pepper and spice. On the inhale, there’s a bold mix of sweet and earthy tones that quickly turn rich and slightly floral. By the time you exhale, you’ll pick up a little spice that sticks to your tongue. If you like strains that hit your nose before they even hit your grinder, this one’s going to be a favorite.

Effects

Don’t let the candy-like smell fool you—this one is a heavy-hitter. Permanent Marker delivers a strong, well-rounded high that kicks off with a rush of happy energy and creative buzz. It puts your head in a good place fast, but it doesn’t stay there. Soon enough, the body starts to sink into the couch, and the chill sets in. It’s that kind of high where you’re laughing one minute and horizontal the next. It’s not overwhelming if you pace yourself, but with up to 33% THC, this strain isn’t playing games.

Growing characteristics/yield

Permanent Marker cannabis seeds are great for both indoor and outdoor grows. Indoors, expect up to 500–600 g/m² with a flowering time of 9–10 weeks. Outdoors, these plants can really stretch and give you hefty returns with big, sticky buds and tons of trichomes. These cannabis seeds respond well to training methods like SOG, SCROG, and topping, so you can shape the grow to fit your space. She likes a solid feeding schedule, good airflow, and moderate humidity. If you treat her right, you’ll be rewarded with massive, high-grade harvests.
