Origin
El Nino is a three-way cross of Haze, Super Skunk and White Widow, bred by Green House Seeds. The Haze and Super Skunk sides give the sharp, energetic head; White Widow adds the resin and the body. It has one descendant on file. Its place in the record is the 1998 organic-category cup win, not a cannabinoid profile.

About
El Nino won an Amsterdam cup in 1998 and is not a CBD strain.
Green House Seeds built it from Haze, Super Skunk and White Widow, and it took first in the organic category at the 1998 Cannabis Cup. It tests around 15 percent THC with balanced effects. A stray lab reading calls it high-CBD, which is an error.
It is not high-CBD.
What to Expect
El Nino is a balanced hybrid with a strong body high and a giggly, clear head. Leafly's reviewers lead with euphoria at 65 percent of a solid sample, with uplifted and happy readings behind it, and experienced smokers describe a focused clarity under the body weight. It is tagged for the evening.
The side effects run higher than most: dry mouth and dry eyes both near 39 percent, with a headache note at 17 and a paranoid one at 13. This is not a mild strain despite the modest THC number. A moderate dose keeps it comfortable.
Flavor and Aroma
El Nino smells sweet and earthy with a sour edge and a light tropical note. The flavor keeps the sweet earthiness with the sour behind it. It is a simple, clean profile.
Terpenes Explained
El Nino has no terpene profile in our data, with only Pinene named.
Nothing is measured, so the sweet-and-sour smell cannot be tied to a compound. A jar with a clean tropical sweetness rather than a harsh edge is the better-grown one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
El Nino THC is reported around 15 percent, a genuinely moderate number. One CBD figure in our data reads 100 percent, which is impossible: real flower tops out near 25 percent CBD, so a reading like that is a unit or transcription error. The number to trust here is the THC one.
El Nino is a moderate-strength hybrid, not the high-CBD strain one bad data point makes it look like.
