Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning is a sativa-leaning Denver hybrid known for its potent, fuel-forward profile and a history involving a trademark dispute that led to its rebranding as Sheriff.
About Peyton Manning
Introduced by Good Meds in 2013, Peyton Manning was originally named after the Denver Broncos quarterback. Following objections from the athlete's representatives, the strain was renamed Sheriff, though the original name persisted in consumer circles. While early reports broadly identified the genetics as a cross of Chemdog and OG Kush, modern records typically attribute the lineage to a pairing of SFV OG and the Chem 91 cut of Chemdog.
The strain is characterized by a pungent aromatic profile dominated by diesel and chemical funk, complemented by notes of pine, earth, pepper, and a lemony OG bite. On the palate, it maintains a fuel-heavy presence supported by woody herbs, citrus, and spice. Reported effects include an immediate cerebral charge—often described as energetic, creative, giggly, and euphoric—followed by a gradual physical relaxation. While the mental stimulation is generally long-lasting, some users note that high doses can lead to feelings of edginess or paranoia.
Plant characteristics
The plant produces dense green flowers accented by amber pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes. It is described as a tall, stretchy plant that exhibits the vigor typical of the Chem family, requiring nine to ten weeks to complete its flowering cycle.
