Corey 95
Overview
Corey 95 is a powerhouse hybrid from Top Dawg Seeds that combines the legendary Corey Haim clone with the diesel-dominant I-95 strain. This cross brings together East Coast fuel terps and West Coast bag appeal, creating a strain that's as potent as it is visually stunning. Known for its heavy resin production and complex aroma profile, Corey 95 has quickly become a favorite among hash makers and flower enthusiasts alike.
Lineage & Genetics
Corey 95 brings together two heavy-hitting parents from Top Dawg Seeds' renowned genetic vault. The **Corey Haim** mother is a limited-release phenotype known for its extreme resin production and unique terpene profile that leans toward sweet fuel with hints of pine and citrus. The **I-95** father contributes classic East Coast diesel characteristics—sharp, pungent, and unmistakably loud—along with increased vigor and yield potential.
Corey Haim is a rare Top Dawg creation that has become legendary in underground grow circles for producing some of the frostiest flowers ever documented. It's a "grower's strain" that demands attention but rewards skilled cultivators with exceptional quality.
I-95 is a diesel-dominant powerhouse that carries the torch of classic East Coast cannabis. It's known for aggressive growth, dense bud structure, and a terpene profile that screams fuel from across the room.
The combination of Corey Haim's resin production and I-95's diesel punch creates a strain that excels in both flower and extraction markets. You get bag appeal, potency, and a terpene profile that stands out in any lineup.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
The **Corey 95 terpene profile** is a complex blend of diesel fuel, sweet pine, and subtle citrus undertones. Breaking open a bud releases an intense wave of pungent gas with layers of complexity that reveal themselves on closer inspection. On the exhale, expect smooth diesel notes balanced by a slight sweetness that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Growing Corey 95
Corey 95 is a **moderate difficulty strain** that responds well to training techniques and benefits from experienced hands. Plants tend to stretch moderately during the first few weeks of flower, so topping or LST is recommended to manage canopy height. The strain thrives in both soil and hydroponic systems, though many growers report enhanced terpene expression when grown organically in living soil.

Cultivation Tips
-
TrainingTop early and use LST to create an even canopy—this strain responds exceptionally well to training
-
FeedingModerate feeder; watch for nitrogen sensitivity in mid-flower and dial back if needed
