Jealousy: Green…and Purple with Envy
Jealousy cannabis seeds grow into a gorgeous plant featuring light green leaves with lavender colored buds stretching towards the sky. It is this distinct color combination that makes Jealousy plants easy to pick out in a grow room full of cannabis plants. Looking at the plants a little more closely you can see a white sugary substance covering the leaves and buds. It is that resin that makes Jealousy plants super sticky and add to the flavor and aroma profile of the bud. When harvested the nuggets you are left with are deep and dark green and coated in resin. When you break these nuggets up an earthy and sweet smell will fill the room, almost inviting you to partake in these tasty buds. In 2022, Jealousy won Strain of the Year and the following year Jealousy and its hybrids took home at least four other major awards in the cannabis community. While this strain is still relatively young it has garnered so much attention that it has become one of the most sought-after seeds in the world.
