The 4th Kind

The 4th Kind, also sold as The Forth Kind, is an indica-dominant hybrid derived from a cross between MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) and Gelato. While the original breeder remains unconfirmed, the genetics are noted for their consistency across the market. The aroma is defined by initial notes of gas and earth, which transition into sweet orange citrus, floral accents, and a musky, kush-like finish. On the palate, the experience becomes creamier, featuring layers of berry and sour fruit balanced by the characteristic sweetness of the Gelato lineage. It is generally described as leaning more toward a MAC-and-gas profile than a traditional dessert-forward Gelato.

Users typically report an initial phase characterized by an upbeat, creative, and social headspace. This cerebral lift is temporary, as the indica influence eventually transitions the experience into a heavier, slower body calm. Depending on the dosage, the latter half of the experience can lean toward hazy or sedative, leading many to favor this strain for evening or nighttime use. Potency is variable, with commercial batches ranging from the low-20s to over 30% THC, suggesting that the specific batch quality is a significant factor in the overall experience.
