I had the pleasure of trying a brand new cannabis strain – The Strawberry Crusha strain – this week which I am excited to share. This is a UK-bred strain, bred by the legendary Buddoctor.
Strain Summary
The Strawberry Crusha strain is a THC-dominant hybrid strain, notable for its potent THC levels ranging from 23% to 27% and minimal CBD content of 0.09% to 0.36%. This strain is celebrated for its ability to stimulate conversation, making users more talkative, alongside inducing feelings of euphoria, relaxation, happiness, and a tingly sensation. Its side effects primarily include thirst and dry mouth, with some experiencing dry eyes, headaches, heightened sensory perception, dizziness, drowsiness, and a rapid heartbeat.
The flavour profile of the Strawberry Crusha strain is rich and complex, with spicy herbal undertones complemented by notes of butter, sweetness, strawberry, earthiness, flowery tones, and apricot. This diverse palette is enhanced by a terpene blend that includes limonene, myrcene, humulene, caryophyllene, terpinolene, phellandrene, and linalool, contributing to its aromatic appeal.
Strawberry Crusha is used medicinally to alleviate symptoms associated with migraines, bipolar disorder, arthritis, fatigue, and depression. Its cultivation can be moderately challenging, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, with plants reaching heights of 30-60 inches indoors and 60-80 inches outdoors. It has a flowering time of 54-63 days, with indoor yields of 1-2 oz/ft² and outdoor yields of 10-15 oz per plant. The strain’s specific breeder and origin remain unknown, yet its popularity continues to grow due to its potent effects and appealing flavour profile.
Sitting Down with some Strawberry Crusha
When I first saw this strain I think my jaw dropped a bit. The colours are amazing, with the sample giving off shades of green, purple and red! Certainly more colourful than your everyday bud.
As you will know if you read my strain reports or watch my cannabis videos, I am a sucker for differently-coloured cannabis strains. I am also a sucker for well-cured strains, and the Strawberry Crusha fits the bill for both.
I’m already appreciating this, and I haven’t even smoked it yet!
One thing to note about the appearance of this Strawberry Crusha strain before we go any further is that it hasn’t been trimmed to what I would call a high standard. As you can see from this sample, the leaves protruding cover most of the bud, and it looks like the size would diminish quite a bit if they were removed.
However, all the leaves are dripping with trichomes, making it glisten with cannabinoids!
The smell of this strain contains complex notes of fruity sweetness (or sweet fruitiness) initially, giving way into actual strawberry as I crack open the bud and almost stick it up my nose in excitement.
Grinding up this sample, I’m getting even more of the fruity aroma that I’m already growing to love. I quickly load it into my Weed Star Wasabi-Line bong, and away we go…
The hit is smooth, as expected, and I get a good hit despite the airflow of my bowl of choice being bad this morning.
The taste of Strawberry Crusha retains some of the sweet fruitiness of the smell on the exhale, but some of it does get lost. It tastes nice, but isn’t as apparent a sweet taste as some Hazes I have sampled.
As the effects begin to kick in, the first thing that hits me is a cerebral uplift, making me feel talkative and chatty.
The buzz settles down into a nice hybrid-stoned feeling that isn’t overpowering but is very enjoyable.
Overall I have enjoyed this cannabis strain sampling session featuring Strawberry Crusha. I find myself wondering if there are other crusha strains; banana perhaps?
If not, Dead Bananas X Strawberry Crusha = Banana Crusha maybe?
