Project 9 Strain

See What’s In Stock

A Resin-Rich, Earthy, and Unforgettable Strain

Project 9 is not a strain that blends into the background. This sativa-forward hybrid from Strane is a cross of Chimera and Falcon-9, bred by the award-winning Washington-based collective Exotic Genetix. The result is a deeply complex, resin-heavy flower with a bold, dank aroma, delivering equal parts musky earthiness, sharp skunk, and savory depth.

Its effects typically lean uplifting and creative at the onset before settling into a relaxed, grounded body calm. It’s the kind of strain that invites you to slow down and appreciate what’s in your hand.

Project 9 Genetics: Where Two Legends Meet

Project 9 comes from Exotic Genetix, the Cannabis Cup-winning collective out of Washington state that has been raising the bar for cannabis genetics since 2008. The name Project 9 nods to the strain’s lineage: a deliberate, high-ambition cross of Chimera and Falcon-9, two of the most talked-about cultivars in the modern cannabis scene.

Visually, Project 9 is a showstopper. Buds present with a vibrant color palette featuring shades of purple, draped in a thick, frosty layer of trichomes that hints at the resin load inside. The structure is dense and generous, with a deep, dank aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Project 9 is a hybrid with a sativa lean, combining the best traits of two powerhouse parent strains:

Chimera

Chimera is a hybrid cannabis strain bred by BeLeaf Cannabis from White Truffle and The Creature. It produces dense flowers with eye-catching colors and a thick, frosty coating of resin. In Project 9, Chimera contributes the complex, savory-dank character on the nose and the creative, mood-lifting onset.

Falcon-9

Falcon-9 is an indica-dominant strain from Exotic Genetix, noted for a smooth, gassy ice cream flavor profile with dark purple buds and vibrant orange pistils, starting as a strong head lift before settling into the body. Falcon-9 brings the structural density to Project 9, with heavy resin output, and the creamy, gassy undertone that anchors the whole experience.

How Project 9 Makes You Feel

Project 9 is typically described as a well-rounded hybrid experience with an energetic, creative lift that gradually gives way to full-body relaxation. Many fans reach for it to encourage a relaxed focus that makes it easier to unwind at the end of a long day.

Flavors & Aromas

Project 9’s aroma is bold, layered, and deeply dank. The nose opens with a rich, earthy musk that hits immediately: funky, grounding, and unmistakable. A sharp skunk note cuts through underneath, giving the profile a classic, old-school edge. On the exhale, savory depth lingers on the palate, rounding out an experience that’s complex from start to finish. This is not a delicate strain: it’s loud, confident, and entirely its own thing.

Terpenes in Project 9

Project 9’s terpene profile is what gives it that deeply complex, dank character that sets it apart from sweeter or fruitier strains. These four terpenes drive the experience from first sniff to final exhale.

Limonene

Adds a bright citrus lift that cuts through the earthiness, contributing to the strain’s uplifting onset.
