Russian Love Machine

Russian Love Machine is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 21-27% on average, with 0.4% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Russian Love Machine high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Russian Love Machine a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Russian Love Machine has a delicious lemon and chocolate flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a chocolate finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Russian Love Machine offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in around 8 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Machine family — see Big Durban Sex Machine and Cotton Candy Machine for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
