🌱 Breeder Humor in Cannabis Strain Names
Cannabis breeders don’t just create new genetics — sometimes they hide jokes, Easter eggs, or cultural references in cannabis strain names.
Some strain names reflect personal stereotypes, feelings, or even inside jokes. Others are based on numbers, pop culture, or completely random associations.
A famous example comes from breeder Kenny Power’s of Cookies Fam, who released the strain Gary Payton. While many assume it was named after the legendary basketball player, the truth is more playful:
- Gary Payton wore the number 20 jersey.
- The strain came from the 20th phenotype selected by the breeder.
- The name was matched to the phenotype number, not the other way around.
This shows how sometimes the name is not about flavor or aroma, but just a clever twist.
🦄💨 Unicorn Poop
Despite the shocking name, Unicorn Poop doesn’t smell like poop at all. Unlike strains such as 🐈⬛ Cat Piss, Dog Shit, or 🐆 Cheetah Piss (which actually reek of ammonia and funky skunky notes), Unicorn Poop is known for:
- Fruity, sweet aroma
- Multicolored buds
- A playful name that suggests “unicorn poop tastes like candy” 🦄✨
This is a perfect example of a breeder having fun with naming.
🍪 GMO Cookies
At first glance, many think GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. But in cannabis, GMO actually means:
- 🧄 Garlic
- 🍄 Mushroom
- 🧅 Onion
So GMO Cookies are not genetically engineered, but rather “Garlic Mushroom Onion Cookies” — an earthy, funky, savory flavor profile that might shock a grower who expected a dessert-like strain.
🐳 Moby Dick
The strain Moby Dick is an obvious reference to Herman Melville’s classic novel.
But here’s the joke: in English slang, “dick” also means penis. So while the novel was about a giant whale, the strain name adds another cheeky layer — buds so massive they’re compared to a whale-sized dick.
Breeder humor at its finest.
📦 Bonus: Bad Guy Packaging Easter Egg
If you’ve seen our Bad Guy strain packaging, check the back of the sprouting tablet. There’s a hidden typo where an American designer struggled to write Russian letters correctly. We decided to leave it as it is — another little Easter egg for observant growers.
✅ Final Thoughts
Cannabis strain names are often more than just marketing. They’re part of the culture, filled with inside jokes, Easter eggs, puns, and hidden references that make the cannabis world fun and creative.
Next time you see a funny weed strain name like Unicorn Poop, Cheetah Piss, or Moby Dick, remember: there’s usually a story behind it.
