Tainted Love

Tainted Love is a sativa dominant hybrid (70% sativa/30% indica) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 15% and 21%, pairing raw strength with a 0.4% CBD content. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Tainted Love high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. These combined effects make Tainted Love a frequent pick among patients dealing with mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Tainted Love has a distinctive coffee and diesel flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a coffee-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Tainted Love 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 Love family — see Tunnel Of Love and Ultra Early Love for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
