Aroma
There is a lightly gassy air to El Jefe that gets overpowered by pine and citrus at the first full whiff. As you let the aroma settle, you’ll start to get more of a sweet roundness to the bouquet.
Take your time to enjoy the complex aromatic profile of this strain. You get new scents as you start breaking the buds apart or put them in a grinder. See if you can pick out black pepper, fermented fruits and dried herbs.
Visuals
Big, bold, round buds that go in a darkish shade of green and faded orange. The buds are fairly dense but not very sticky. There is not usually a great trichome formation on El Jefe but that might be because it’s unusual to get your hands on indoor versions of the strain.
El Jefe is primarily a strain that you smoke for its effects. If you are looking for a sexier strain, go for Juicy Fruit or Sour Space Candy.

Try a variety of CBD flower vendors to see which version of El Jefe fits you the best.
You can choose from indoor, outdoor and greenhouse grown CBD buds although El Jefe can be easiest to find as an outdoor variety or possibly as pre rolls.
The quality may vary a bit depending on growing techniques and climate but in general indoor and greenhouse give the most beautiful buds while outdoor are better priced.
We usually recommend looking for high quality outdoor flower since it will have great potency and price.
