Mic Drop
Mic Drop is a hybrid strain name applied to two distinct, unrelated genetic lineages, resulting in significant ambiguity regarding its specific origin and profile.
About Mic Drop
The name Mic Drop refers to two separate genetic crosses. The version most commonly found on dispensary menus is a cross of E85 and Apples and Bananas, though no specific breeder has claimed this lineage. A second, distinct version was bred by Newt Brothers Genetics in Colorado; this iteration crosses their in-house Newt Fruit (a Citrix x Alien Fire Fruit hybrid) with a landrace strain from the Hindu Kush mountains, identified as likely being Chitral Kush.
While the genetics differ, both versions are reported to share a flavor profile characterized by sharp citrus and pine, transitioning into earthy, gassy undertones. The Newt Brothers Genetics version is noted to lean hard sativa, featuring an exotic nose of sour lemons, fruity candy, and petrol. Users report the experience as focused and uplifting, providing cerebral energy suitable for creative projects or daytime errands, accompanied by a steady physical calm that builds without weighing the user down.
Plant characteristics
The plant typically grows to a height of 3–5 feet indoors, exhibiting a compact, bushy, and branching structure. The buds are dense, resinous, and coated in trichomes, often displaying deep green coloration accented by orange pistils. Phenotypic variation is noted, with some plants expressing sweeter lemon profiles while others lean toward sour, gassy notes.
