Mango haze

This strain is so heavily coated in white crystals that it looks almost white — no doubt where its name came from. It can be hard to pick out any other details under those thick white trichomes, but marijuana consumers will notice light green leaves with few pistils. Despite the heavily resinous nugs, these fluffy buds can be broken open without too much hassle.

Not just sugary in appearance, this strain’s aroma is strong and pungent with hints of wood and pine. This flower’s scent is often described as “dank” with plenty of earthy, moist soil tones. Consumers can expect a slight spicy, herbaceous scent from this one. Novice marijuana consumers be warned — this weed can cause some serious coughing.

Northern Lights stands among the most famous strains of all time, a pure indica cherished for its resinous buds, fast flowering, and resilience during growth. Itself a descendant of indigenous Afghani and Thai landrace strains, Northern Lights has given rise to famous hybrids like Shiva Skunk and Super Silver Haze.

Blueberry is an indica dominant hybrid strain with unknown true parentage. This bud has been traced back to the early 70’s when the infamous American breeder DJ Short started playing around with different landrace strains, ultimately resulting in this insanely delicious variety. It is thought to be descended from Purple Thai and Afghan, but we will never know for sure. Nonetheless, it is one of the most popular strains on the market and took home the 2000 Best Indica award at the High Times’ Cannabis Cup thanks to its high-powered effects and mouth watering blueberry vanilla flavor

Jack Herer is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that has gained as much renown as its namesake, the marijuana activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Combining a Haze hybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross, Sense Seeds created Jack Herer hoping to capture both cerebral elevation and heavy resin production. Its rich genetic background gives rise to several different variations of Jack Herer, each phenotype bearing its own unique features and effects. However, consumers typically describe this 55% sativa hybrid as blissful, clear-headed, and creative.

Flavours:  Earthy, Pine, Woody

Effects: Euphoric, Energetic, Happy, Focused, Uplifted

Marijuana consumers will detect the powerful diesel smell this strain picks up from possible parent Sour Diesel. There’s also some pine and a slight earthy musk. Despite its chemical odors, marijuana enthusiasts can expect a smooth smoke that surprises with a tangy ammonia flavor on exhale.

Some seed companies, like Greenhouse, offer a version of “Chemdog” that is a cross between OG Kush and Sour Diesel itself. Other breeders claim that their versions of Chemdawg contain the original lineage. At this point, however, it’s very difficult to tell who used the real Chemdawg and who did not. Some suspect that this strain may have Nepalese and Thai heritage.
