Via 2017's collaborative phenotype hunting by Rising Leaf Farms in Oregon, we were alerted to a plant from an R&D seed batch we had made from a Shishkaberry mother and Trufula Tree father. On a visit with Jennifer and Jason of Rising Leaf, we experienced first-hand the magical genetics of this gorgeous plant with its special terpene profiles and effects. Now we are able to release Raspberry Parfait, another balanced breakfast strain from Humboldt Seed that's destined for fame!
Strain FAQ
Which terpenes give cannabis its raspberry flavour?
Raspberry flavour comes from several terpenes. Myrcene gives sweetness and fruitiness, whereas limonene adds citrus. Linalool gives the perfume sweet berry notes, pinene piney undertones, and caryophyllene spice, adding depth.
Do you offer cheap, high quality seeds?
Absolutely! Here in Seed City we offer a clearance section with discounted stock. We have a huge range of the best seeds around, but you have to act fast because these bargains are hot and stock is limited!
Why are South American cannabis strains genetically diverse?
Due to South America's diverse climates and ecosystems, cannabis strains that evolved there are genetically diverse. Due to this variety of environmental conditions, strains from this location can have quite different plant morphologies, potencies, and flavours.
How do average-yielding strains handle pests and diseases?
Many of them have reportedly developed natural resistances to common pests and diseases thanks to their varied genetics. This resilience is said to make them easier to maintain and can reduce the need for chemical treatments. This is an overall win for legal organic growers and those focused on sustainable methods.
Do strains listed as suitable for outdoor growth have resistance to pests and diseases?
Being out in the wild, outdoor cannabis strains face a barrage of environmental stressors, from bugs to fluctuating weather. This tough love from Mother Nature prompts them to ramp up their production of terpenes and cannabinoids, which serve as their shield against these threats. It's a fascinating survival strategy that not only makes the plants hardier but is also said to improve the aroma and flavor of the buds!
