Schrom

Many people struggle with pronouncing the name of this medical marijuana strain, and even fewer are aware of its genetic background. Allegedly bred by someone known as Schrooomy420, Schrom is a sativa-dominant hybrid created by crossing either Romulan and Silver Haze or Romulan and Santa Maria Columbian Gold.

Regardless of its genetic lineage, Schrom boasts a respectable THC content averaging around 18%. Its buds are characterized by their small, round shape, vibrant orange pistils, abundant crystals, and deep amber hues. The dominant flavor profile features citrus notes that linger in the air and offer a sweeter taste on the palate. While some may find Schrom to be an invigorating substitute for their morning cup of coffee due to its energizing effects, it also exudes qualities reminiscent of orange juice, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
