Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle takes two very different approaches to flavor and forces them into the same flower.

Glookies brings together two cannabis families that helped shape an entire generation of American weed: the sticky, fuel-heavy potency of GG4 and the dessert-like complexity of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies.

Blue Sunset Sherbert sits at the intersection of two very different branches of modern West Coast cannabis: the creamy, fruit-driven Cookies family and the heavier purple genetics associated with relaxing nighttime weed. Barney’s Farm created the cultivar by pairing Sunset Sherbet with Purple Punch,… Read more: Blue Sunset Sherbert - Sour Strawberry
Sour Strawberry emerged from an era when a memorable cannabis strain could build its reputation almost entirely through flavor, grower word of mouth, and the quality of a carefully selected seed line. Bred by Bushy Old Grower of BOG Seeds, this cultivar was developed… Read more: Sour Strawberry - Black Cherry Gushers
Black Cherry Gushers is the kind of modern cannabis strain that makes its identity obvious before the first inhale.

Ayahuasca Purple looks almost engineered for the moment when a grower opens the flowering room and simply stops to stare.

Zillions represents the modern cannabis market almost perfectly: extreme THC potential, dense resin coverage, confectionery sweetness, and enough complexity underneath the sugar to prevent the flower from tasting like a one-note candy strain.
