Energizing strains to make spring cleaning a breeze
It’s officially spring, the birds are chirping, the buds are blooming and together we’re all feeling a little bit more ready to face the world (hopefully).
Whether you’re appreciating the blooming of new life or mentally preparing to tackle some blurry, forgotten groceries in the kitchen, there are several types of weed that will make your spring cleaning more enjoyable.
The cliche that cannabis melts you into the couch is so outdated. Many strains have uplifting effects and can help you focus, feel creative, and get through time-consuming cleaning projects.
If you’re feeling full of spring-cleaning energy, here are six strains to try (ideally before winter surprises us).
Super Lemon Haze (SLH) is a hybrid sativa-dominant strain that makes an uplifting choice for even the most mundane of household chores (like the dreaded dusting or cleaning out of crumb-filled cupboards and drawers).
SLH is a mix of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze, so expect a tart but sweet taste. Smell-wise too, she stays true to her name and you’ll notice a zesty, freshly-squeezed lemon aroma on the nose, along with the same sweet taste.
Leafly reviewers report feelings of creativity as well as bursts of positive energy when using this dual award-winning strain.
Some strains simply apply differently, and in turn develop a significant following. Sour Diesel is one of those strains. With over 8,000 reviews on Leafly, this hybrid bud is a fan favorite primarily for her impressive high.
People report feeling energized and joyful, thinking clearly, and feeling motivated with the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel. Are you struggling to find the inspiration to even get started on that long spring cleaning list? This strain will likely help.
Sour Diesel is caryophyllene dominant in the terpene department, so you’ll definitely notice a peppery flavor. When it comes to taste and smell, Sour Diesel is just that: Gassy.
Cherry Bomb is a cannabis strain perfect for productivity and daytime use. Her subtle grape and stone fruit flavors and medium potency (18% THC) make Cherry Bomb a solid choice for around the house.
Many people report feeling perky and focused when using Cherry Bomb, which are two qualities you definitely want when you have spring cleaning tasks small or large.
Terpenes like myrcene (earthy), terpinolene (fruity), and pinene (pine) give Island Sweet Skunk a balanced aroma and flavor.
This sativa-dominant strain is a hybrid combining Sweet Pink Grapefruit and Skunk #1. The combination produces delicious tropical flavors like grapefruit, but they are toned down by Skunk #1, which produces a taste and smell that honestly can best be described as Skunk.
Like others on this list, Island Sweet Skunk is highly rated for its energizing and uplifting properties. People also report feelings of productivity and alertness, but with an overall calming feeling, allowing you to put your scrub on — and keep it on — without getting that full body feeling that makes some lethargic.
Do you have a closet full of old sweatshirts, shoes and jeans that you will never wear again? Organizing clothes, especially when it’s been years, can be daunting at the best of times, and if you’re someone who gets easily overwhelmed by cleaning chores, that feeling only gets compounded.
Enter Candyland, an energizing sativa-dominant strain that is a cross between Bay Platinum Cookies and Granddaddy Purple. This bud tastes as good as it looks.
The dried bud has hints of mauve hues with a coating of trichomes that look like sugar crystals. It smells pungent but with signature sweet scents. Candyland is also great for social occasions. So if you’re lucky enough to have someone to help you sort through your wardrobe, this is a top choice.
Layer Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid that doesn’t actually blow you away like you might expect. She’s famous for her musky layers of flavor, thanks in part to the myrcene terpenes that give off that pungent earthy aroma.
In Ontario, Burb combines Northern Lights with Layer Cake for a strain called BC Zaza, which has an uplifting high that’s also calming, while in British Columbia, Coast Mountain cannabis combines Layer Cake with Super Skunk Haze for its Pure Cake Skunk, another strain this is great for checking off tasks from your list.
