Shishkaberry

Plan your day accordingly, because Shishkaberry can sneak up on you if you aren’t careful. An indica-dominant hybrid measuring at 80/20, this strain comes from unknown growers yet won second place for best indica at the 2001 High Times’ Cannabis Cup. A bit of a mysterious gal, Shishkaberry is a cross between DJ Short Blueberry and an unknown Afghani strain. Users love the smell and taste, as well as enjoying an intense high with a variety of effects.

Shishkaberry may not be best for novice users, as its THC content can max out at 26%. However, its average is a more tolerable 18%, which might allow sensitive individuals to partake in smaller amounts. Well-known for an enticing aroma and taste, your nose will be hit with a sweet and fruity berry scent. Translating seamlessly into its flavor, Shishkaberry is tasty with a slightly earthy note that balances out its sweetness. Nugs are long and dense with a shade of purple and an immense amount of frosty trichomes.

Get ready for a roller-coaster of a high with this strain, as you’ll start off with a head high that leaves you social, focused, and incredibly happy. If you have things to get done, take advantage of this time now before things change. You’ll notice that your high starts to creep over your entire body, and all thought of being productive vanishes. Shishkaberry transforms into a strong sedative, urging you to be one with your couch and lulling you into a relaxed and dreamy state. Many users find they end up falling asleep, making it a great choice a few hours before bed.

Because it’s such a potent strain, Shishkaberry is favored in the medical community for immediately relieving stress and helping those with insomnia. Its relaxing effects are great for those who experience general body pain but can also be a powerful antidote for people with more chronic conditions like Parkinson’s. Individuals who have a hard time being productive due to their medical concerns find they can get things done thanks to this strain.

When it comes to growing your own, Shishkaberry is a cooperative strain. It can thrive in any grow environment and yields a good amount of flower regardless of what you do to it. Individuals who are impatient will also love its quick flowering time, as it averages 7 to 9 weeks but can begin as early as 45 days. Despite being relatively hands off, you will want to look out for mold and pests if growing outside.

Popular in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, Shishkaberry is a strain that lifts you up before it lets you down. Enjoy it during social occasions to loosen up and then head back home for a relaxed and dreamy evening on the couch. Have trouble getting a restful night of sleep? Smoke a little bit before bedtime and wake up feeling refreshed.
