Strain Review: Hellcat by Gus’s Real Exotics

Hellcat, by Gus’s Real Exotics

While Dodge may have taken the Hellcat out of the game, Gus has revived the Hellcat into the next-gen smoke of the year. This shit is quite something else and I had no idea what to expect. Of course I always expect fire from Gus’ Real Exotics (because that is the truth), but nothing could prepare me for this strain. I’m always impressed by the bag appeal that Gus exhibits and peep the flames!  This is top notch bag art, and I am always excited for what comes next; as the appeal always matches the appeal of the flower. Bred by: Gus’s Real Exotics (@gusrealmfknexotics) Grown by: Regency Specialties Genetics: OG x Gelato Cross (BTW, this is not the old Hellcat strain of OG Kush x SFV OG) Taste: 9/10; I have such a soft spot for Gelato palettes and flavor profiles, I will say that the OG profile definitely adds a distinct taste in tandem with the Gelato. Back then, a lot of the OG strains I’ve smoked have a typical grassy taste which puts me off a bit, but I did not experience that at all with Hellcat. One particular thing about the taste and smoke that stands out with Gus’s Hellcat is that on inhale you get the OG taste, and on exhale, you get the Gelato taste. Smoke: 8.5/10; Hellcat was very sticky and dense, which is usually my favorite type of weed. The stickiness of the breakdown was quite mesmerizing, similar to Backpack Boyz Scotti Pippen #33, however, it was a bit slightly easier to breakdown. The inhale is definitely a choker, but I will say that the exhale was a little too smooth for me. Eliminating Cyberfunk out of the equation in my rotation of smoke, this would be chilling type of weed, would def recommend in a group setting. Side-by-side, this strain hits and is about equivalent to Gus’s Headhunter. I would say this is something you could mix with another strain, in my opinion you could easily mix this Cyberfunk or Headhunter even.
