Genetics & Lineage

A three-way cross of Biscotti, Jealousy, and Sherb Bx. This genetic soup created a monster. The plant is vigorous and produces buds that are coated in trichomes with a sticky, greasy texture.

Effects & Characteristics

The smell is the selling point: distinct chemical notes of sweet candy mixed with floral soap and diesel fumes. It sounds strange, but it is addictive. The high is potent and creative, inducing a 'zoned-in' state perfect for gaming or art.

Why This Strain Matters

It proves that the market craves novelty. After years of generic 'cake' and 'candy' strains, Permanent Marker succeeded because it offered a flavour profile that was genuinely new and weird.
