In creating the strain, KC Brain took two landrace Sativas – Mexican and Hawaiian. From the two, Brains Damage gained its head-slamming quality and famous moniker. The Indica-dominant Mango, as well as the elusive KC 636, was later added to balance out the cerebral focused effects. At the same time, it also added to its strong medicinal potential and stress-crushing high.
It should come as no surprise that Brains Damage is ripe with therapeutic potential in spite of its low CBD. In fact, it is one of the best strains to use against spasticity and seizures. Although, treading through this path requires the approval of a health professional.
Odor and Flavors
Brains Damage is not as repulsive as its name may suggest. In fact, it conjures a calming scenery with its pungent overtones of wet soil. Enhancing it are the tangy notes of grapefruit which turn into a sour undertone as the buds are combusted and the smoke is inhaled. On the exhale, it leaves a diesel aftertaste in the mouth.
Effects
Brains Damage has a relatively quick onset. Although an atypical quality of an Indica-leaning strain, its fast-acting effects remains to be one of the reasons why enthusiasts prefer it. Within minutes after the first two to three puffs, a rush of euphoria swarms the mind. Resulting from it is a mental clarity that creates a path for thoughts and ideas to flourish.
Although subtle, the mental stimulation renews perspectives and interest. It allows casual users to focus on a task or project with heightened motivation.

Cultivated indoors, it need not be topped as its heights peaks at 90 centimeters. However, it will need to be pruned. A naturally bushy plant, its wide leaves can interfere with light and air circulation in the lower nodes. Not only that, cutting away dead parts improves nutrient distribution by redirecting it to healthier budding sites.
An added benefit of growing Brain Damage in controlled environments is that growers can adjust temperatures, humidity levels, and light intensity accordingly. Moreover, breeders can also choose mediums. Soil will undoubtedly bring out fuller flavors but a hydroponics setup hastens the growing process and can even double the yield. Regardless, supplementing the plant’s growth with the Sea of Green is recommended. After flowering for 8 to 10 weeks, each square meter will produce at least 140 grams of buds depending on the grower’s skill.
