Shishkaberry Strain - Growing Tips and Medical Effects

Lineage

This is one of those stains that should be taken with some caution. With an 80% indica leaning, this hybrid strain can surely give you a strong high. The Shishkaberry strain is a cross between an unspecified Afghani strain and DJ Short Blueberry. There is no documentation of who grew this strain for the first time. Since then, it has gained so much popularity that it was named as the runner-up in the 2001’s High Times Cannabis Cup.

THC Content

Shishkaberry is not suitable for those with a low tolerance for THC or the novice smoker as it has a high THC content ranging from 18 to 26%. Especially not in high doses.

Appearance and Aroma

This strain has a distinctly enticing taste and aroma of fruits and berries. This taste is accompanied by an earthy undertone that really complements the otherwise sweet flavor. In terms of appearance, the dense nugs of the Shishkaberry strain are purple in color and are covered with a layer of frosty white trichomes.
