Few marijuana strains come with a history as strange—or as influential—as Chem 4. It was not designed on paper by pairing two named cultivars, nor was it released through a conventional seed company with a neat pedigree printed on the…

Cherry Limeade predates much of today’s rush toward candy-named marijuana strains, yet its terpene profile could easily compete with modern fruit-focused genetics. Created in Northern California by respected breeder Mean Gene from Mendocino, the cultivar brings together Cherry Pie and…

Some marijuana strains acquire candy-inspired names as a convenient description after the fact. Peach Rings has a stronger claim to its name. Properly cultivated flower can develop an unusually convincing mixture of ripe stone fruit, sugary candy, tart citrus, and…

Royal Cake occupies an interesting place among modern dessert cannabis strains because its name suggests something heavy, sugary, and traditional while its genetics point in a considerably brighter direction. Rather than simply stacking another Kush or Cookies line onto Wedding…

Frosted Cake makes its strongest first impression before it is ever smoked. The buds can develop an almost powdered appearance as pale trichomes spread across tightly formed green and purple flower, creating the frosted surface suggested by the name. Its…

Lime Gelato takes the familiar creamy sweetness of modern dessert cannabis and cuts through it with the aromatic equivalent of freshly grated lime peel. Instead of presenting as a heavy pastry weed strain, the profile is cleaner and brighter, mixing…

Before fruit candy, dessert cream, and artificial-sounding terpene names became dominant in modern cannabis, cultivars such as Stardawg built their reputations on something far less delicate: fuel. Crack apart a properly cured flower and the room can fill with diesel…

Starburst OG occupies an interesting corner of modern marijuana culture: its name suggests pure candy sweetness, yet the flower itself carries far more old-school Kush character than the branding implies. Beneath the citrus-sugar opening is a dense mixture of fuel,…
