Cherry Lopez is another Kyle Kushman creation brought to you by Buds and Roses LA. Cherry Lopez is a supposed indica-dominant cross (we think it may be more sativa-dominant) with a 60 to 65-day flowering period, and was bred by backcrossing Jurassic Haze with it’s Adonai Kush father. “Cherry Lopez is a supposed indica-dominant cross with a 60 to 65-day flowering period.” Jurassic Haze is another Kushman classic that was dubbed one of the “highest yielding sativas on the planet” by Danny Danko in the March 2013 issue of the High Times magazine. It was created by crossing …

Bred by Kushman Genetics, the Starberry strain (AKA Starberry Cough), is a Sativa-dominant hybrid. It was brought into this world by crossing two strains that have been a long-time staple in the Buds and Roses LA garden. Starberry Strain: Strawberry Cough X Stardawg This tasty hybrid from Kushman Genetics took home second place at the 2012 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in Los Angeles. After getting to try some Starberry myself, I can understand why. As the story goes, the Starberry strain was the …

Frankenberry genetics consist of Big Bud, Purple Urkle and an Unknown Sativa. That makes this strain an Indica-dominant hybrid. Very colorful buds with shades ranging from really light green to small bursts of dark red. Upon opening the container, we discovered an intoxicating fruity aroma similar to that of the cereal. It reminded me most of the Granddaddy Purple strain with more of a sugary sweetness to it. “The Frankenberry strain truly did have an INTENSE berry smell similar to fresh raspberries.” The …

Green Diamond is a Sativa-dominant hybrid that stems from the combination of Green Crack and Diamond OG. When I picked up this strain I had somewhat of an agenda. We had plans to go to the Haha Comedy Cafe in Los Angeles, and I wanted to medicate with a strain that would relieve any social anxiety, as well as keep me awake and alert. Once I came across this cut of Green Diamond, I figured I couldn’t possibly go wrong with genetics that link back to a cross of …

Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover… I’ll be the first to admit when I’m wrong. When I picked up this batch of Sugar Cookie I figured it was some variation of Girl Scout Cookies; it would make sense with the buzz surrounding the Cookies since Wiz Khalifa and Berner put it on the map. As it turns out, my logic failed me here. In fact, Sugar Cookie is the result of (Crystal Gayle X Blue Hawaiian) X Sensi Star. Situations like this are …

Emerald Triangle Seeds Provide A Hybrid Full Of Taste This 50/50 hybrid comes from interesting genetics. It was bred by Emerald Triangle Seeds – they’re responsible for Lemon Diesel too. This time they started by crossing Cherry Thai with some Afghani (Indica). They did this to increase the density/yield of the Cherry Thai, since it is a Sativa. Once successful, they backcrossed it with the original Cherry Thai mother to bring out the heady, uplifting high. Finally, Emerald Triangle crossed it with their Lost Coast …

SAGE Is Extremely Heady But Technically A Hybrid When looking into the genetics for SAGE I learned something interesting. Its name is an acronym meaning: Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium. As far as genetics go, the name is almost self-explanatory. This heady strain is a combination of an unknown Haze (Sativa) and Afghani (Indica). The meaning for the name SAGE may lead you to believe its a 50/50 hybrid or something close. However, this strain is extremely Sativa-dominant. The Haze in the genetics of SAGE is some combination of four, …

Sour Diesel is one of the most widely used Sativa strains of all time. If you haven’t heard of this strain or given it a try yet, chances are good that someone you know has already tried it (and probably loves it). Sour Diesel Strain Very Popular Among MMJ Patients So why is Sour Diesel a favorite among medical marijuana patients and cannabis connoisseurs world-wide? I’m willing to guess it i because the Sour Diesel strain has got a distinct, pungent stench consisting of gas fumes that is usually coupled with an exciting burst of energy. Having Sativa lineage, it …

A Cocktail Of Hybrids Combine For Powerful Relief Despite a lack of general lack of information, some research and a bit of personal experience told me that Green Ribbon is a product of Green Crack, Trainwreck, and Afgoo. I found this lineage via Sacramento News & Review and found that it agreed with my experiences of the individual strains and Green Ribbon itself. Green Crack is obviously present in the genetics of the of Green Ribbon; The flowers are …

The Cali Connection Used Top-Notch Genetics In researching the genetics behind the Cherry Alien Dawg strain I realized it was a phenotype of Alien Dawg. The Cali Connection is a seed company with its roots in California. It acts as an umbrella for some of the state’s best breeders. The Cali Connection is responsible for this strain and according to them it is the offspring of Alien Technology and Chemdawg. Chemdawg is a potent strain found in the genetics of Cherry Alien …
