Have you ever come across some incredibly attractive weed? So attractive, in fact, you’d term it as “Marijuana I’d Like to Flower?” If so, perhaps it was MILF. This strain is bred in Southern California by Mother Chucker’s Seeds and crosses White Widow with Trainwreck to bring a ton of THC and energy to your life. Is this the same strain that was sold in secret so many years ago on a Showtime series? The world may never know.

About MILF

MILF brings it when it comes to THC, and with strong parents in their own right, a 20% average doesn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary. Buds of this strain are bright green with intense leaves and a sticky coating of beautiful resin. Wood and earth will fill your nose as you smoke, and while a touch of sweetness becomes apparent during your session, it’s still a pretty savory experience as a whole.

Use caution with MILF, as the amount you indulge in will directly relate to your high. Too much equates to a couch locked experience that makes your head pound, while just the right amount will leave you feeling uplifted, happy, and full of giggly energy. Get more done, chat it up with strangers, and feel like you can finally break out of your introverted shell on this strain. Your comedown could include some body heavy moments, but as long as you’ve kept your dose in check, you shouldn’t be too hindered.

Great for a range of medical ailments, MILF is a nice way to escape from the worldly worries that bring on major amounts of stress or depression. Let your mood be as bright as the Southern California sun and forget about your worries, at least for a little while. General pain including cramps or headaches can also be aided, although too much of this strain will make the latter worse before it gets better.

For those who want to try their hand at growing this beautiful strain, you’re in luck as she’s fairly easy to tame. MILF can thrive inside or outdoors, but keep in mind that plants can reach over 7 feet tall, so if you have limited space it may not be the ideal choice. After a 10 to 12 week flowering period, yields will be abundant and may leave you wondering why you try to grow anything else.

Strain Information

 Sativa Dominant Hybrid – 80% Sativa / 20% Indica

THC: 19% – 20%

MILF is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain created as a cross between the insanely powerful Trainwreck X White Widow strains. This potent bud has a THC level of up to 19% and a well-balanced combination of strong and penetrating indica and sativa effects. The MILF high starts with a physical relaxing effect that is first felt as a heavy indica feeling that weighs your head down and causes heavily droopy red eyes. You’ll feel insanely uplifted with a sense of utter serenity and ease and a slight feeling of couch-lock and the munchies. The exact effects of the MILF high vary based on the breeder, but hold a common thread of heavy body effects and a cerebral high. Because of this powerful combination of effects, MILF is perfect for treating chronic stress or anxiety, mild to moderate cases of depression, nausea, and chronic pain. This bud has an aroma of earthy woody sage and a taste of sage with a hint of pungent earth and pine upon exhale that becomes more intense as you smoke. MILF buds have small airy leafy bright green pebble-shaped nugs with lots of twisty olive green leaves and a thick spattering of fiery orange hairs and sweet sticky resin.

Guaranteed to give you a good time, MILF brings a well-rounded set of effects with a strong but fairly enjoyable flavor. Whether you’re a home grower who’s looking for your next shining star or you prefer to pick up your flower from a local dispensary, MILF is easy to find. Try her the next time you want to have an awesome day and don’t giggle too much over the name.

For those of you who smoked some of your memories away, the Doggfather himself made a guest appearance on the hit TV show Weeds during its second season. Playing himself, Snoop stepped up to the studio mic and spit, “It’s the MILF Weed / It’s the good mommy smoke / It’s the MILF Weed / Take a toke ‘til ya broke…”

In the show, genius weed breeder Conrad Shepherd (played by Romany Malco) teams up with widowed-housewife Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and her son Silas (Hunter Parrish) to sell the dankest, stankiest endo ever to hit the sleepy suburban streets of Agrestic. The herb, dubbed “MILF Weed” by the D-O double-G, would accompany the Botwins throughout the series as they tangled with petty street gangs, monolithic drug cartels, and corrupt DEA agents.

But, in the real world, “MILF Weed” is an actual thing, too.

Spelled MILF Weed, or simply just MILF, Seedfinder describes the strain as a cross between White Widow (appropriate for Nancy) and Train Wreck (also appropriate). Its buds purportedly produce an uplifting head-high for most tokers. But what came first, the real-world MILF strain or Nancy Botwin’s MILF Weed?

A look at Google Trends suggests that people were googling the term “MILF weed” as far back as April 2004, over a year before the series premiere of Weeds, and over two years before Snoop’s guest appearance on the show. 

Unfortunately, Google Trends doesn’t provide data before 2004, so whether anyone was looking up “MILF weed” prior to that year is anyone’s guess. Additionally, MERRY JANE was unable to contact the company that bred and sells MILF seeds, Mother Chucker’s Medicinal Cannabis Seed Company, through Twitter or its website (which was inactive at the time of this writing).

MILF, also known as MILF Weed, from Mother Chucker’s Seeds takes its name from an acronym for Marijuana I’d Like to Flower. This sativa-heavy hybrid crosses White Widow with a select cut of Trainwreck from Arcata, California (e-32). While there is a known indica-dominant phenotype floating around, the MILF strain tends to be led by a strong heady buzz that elevates your mood.

Chances are, there really was a MILF strain being smoked around California prior to Weeds’ debut. In the show, the MILF acronym stood for its more commonly known decryption: Mother I’d Like to Fuck. But Mother Chucker’s says its MILF stands for “Marijuana I’d Like to Flower.” Same difference, though, right? Regardless of where the MILF strain truly got its start, it’s probably safe to assume that Weeds popularized the flower variety.
