Keep reading to learn about the Trufflez cannabis strain, its origins, genetics, effects, and more.
History of the Trufflez Cannabis Strain
While sometimes confused with the cannabis lifestyle brand of the same name, the Trufflez strain is most commonly attributed to Aficionado Seeds, a boutique cannabis genetics company based in Mendocino County, the biggest cannabis-producing region in California's Emerald Triangle. Founded by Leo Stone, Aficionado Seeds markets itself as a luxury seed company with over 20 years of experience breeding and growing cannabis. Leo Stone and the Aficionado Seeds brand have also won multiple cannabis competitions, including 15 Emerald Cup awards.
Genetic Lineage of Trufflez
Trufflez by Aficionado Seeds is a hybrid cannabis strain bred from a Zkittlez x Cherry Noir cross and White Cherry Trufflez.
Zkittlez x Cherry Noir is a hybrid strain bred by Aficionado Seeds combining Zkittlez, a beloved Californian hybrid, with Cherry Noir—the result of crossing a special cut of Chemdawg with Cherry Lime. Unfortunately, there is very little information available about this cross and its traits.
White Cherry Trufflez, on the other hand, is one of Aficionado's flagship strains. Bred from 2012 Chemdawg Special Reserve x Cherry Lime #4 and Afghani, White Cherry Trufflez produces an uplifting and energizing buzz that's perfect for creative moments or social situations. As its name suggests, White Cherry Trufflez boasts a delicious aroma that combines upfront cherry sweetness with delicate undertones of white chocolate. Some users also pick up on lingering notes of diesel.
Note that there are other versions of Trufflez out there. One popular variation, for example, was bred by Wyeast and derives from a cross of Runtz and Jet Fuel Gelato.
Physical Characteristics of Trufflez
Trufflez is a hybrid strain with a seemingly even split of sativa and indica traits, though this can vary from one phenotype to another. In general, these plants grow to moderate heights, with medium internodal spacing and luscious green foliage. Once mature, Trufflez plants grow heavy with chunky nugs featuring an extremely tight structure, a beautiful mix of bright green, pink, and purple colors, long orange pistils, and a thick coating of trichomes that covers both the inside and outside of every bud.
Properties and Effects of Trufflez
Trufflez is a potent strain, containing 20–25% THC and only trace amounts of secondary cannabinoids. Besides its high THC content, Trufflez is also rich in a variety of terpenes. Reports from dispensaries and users show that Trufflez is typically rich in caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene, but it may also contain linalool, carene, and pinene. Combined, these compounds give Trufflez its super sweet aroma. According to Aficionado Seeds, fresh Trufflez buds have a sweet nose reminiscent of cherry candies and strawberry gummies, with crisp orange highlights and soothing floral undertones. Smell these buds, close your eyes, and below all the upfront sweetness you should pick up on notes of lavender, rose, and jasmine.
Users also compare Trufflez' rich aroma to that of caramel, toffee, and butter. Its flavor, on the other hand, combines notes of butter, salted caramel, cheese, and gas, with more delicate berry and grape undertones.
Light her up, and Trufflez delivers a well-balanced high. Expect to feel an initial euphoria that elevates your mood, eliminates tension, and possibly promotes focus. You may also feel more social after smoking Trufflez, making it a great choice for gatherings and chill sessions with close friends. Users with a decent tolerance should be able to enjoy moderate doses of this strain without feeling cognitively or socially impaired. Note, however, that Trufflez' effects do become more physical with time, culminating in a soothing body buzz that often leaves users feeling lazy, tingly, and eventually sleepy.
