Shogun is a stimulating sativa that'll rev up the engine of your mind. Prepare for blast-off.
Shogun is the progeny of two very different cultivars. Our breeders selected parent strain Amnesia Haze for her high THC content, high productivity, and sativa dominance. This feisty strain descends from Original Amnesia Haze and contains a medium level of CBD. Shogun also includes genetics from Royal Gorilla. This ultra-potent beast features 25% THC and a perfect balance between sativa and indica genetics. Royal Gorilla stems from a trio of legendary cultivars: Sour Dubb, Chem Sis, and Chocolate Diesel. Shogun features a balance of traits from both of these strains. She inherited her sativa dominance from Amnesia Haze and a high THC level from both parents.
Shogun is named after the ancient Japanese warriors of old—embodying their focus, and unbridled might. The cognitive effects of this variety are like a whetstone against a samurai sword. The stimulating effects boost attention and concentration and allow users to work for long periods. The cultivar brings about a state of zen satisfaction. If you’ve got an essay to write or a deadline to meet, pull this strain out of the stash jar! It’s like downing a cup of coffee. She also makes a great smoke before physical activity such as trail running, skating, or jiu-jitsu. The high will help you get in the zone and enter a flow state.
Her enormous THC level also makes her appealing to some medicinal users. Those seeking to combat pain and low mood may benefit from this strain.
Shogun shares the terpene profile of her ancestors. Smoking this strain feels like walking through a coniferous forest. Each toke delivers rich tastes of earthiness and pine.
Shogun is relatively easy to grow, and a suitable photoperiod strain for beginners. She can handle varying conditions and thrives both indoors and outdoors. She requires a large amount of nutrients, but the extra effort pays off. If you plan on growing this strain indoors, expect a good yield of up to 600g/m² after a flowering time of 9–11 weeks. Outdoors, she’ll provide up to 750g/plant.

Strain FAQ
How have breeders improved medium flowering time strains' pest and disease resistance?
In pest-prone areas, selective breeding has made some medium-flowering cultivars more resistant to pests and illnesses. Increased resistance is said to be able to reduce chemical treatment use, enabling healthier output and decreasing maintenance.
What distinguishes strains that are ready to harvest by end-of-October?
Cannabis strains that finish by October are designed for the Northern Hemisphere. They mature before November's winter weather, giving them a shorter time to completion.
Is there much diversity in average-yielding strains?
With their rich genetic heritage that often includes sativa, indica, and sometimes ruderalis, these strains are said to offer a wide array of flavors, aromas, and effects. This diversity means legal consumers can enjoy a broad spectrum of experiences.
What terpenes are responsible for earthiness?
Along with myrcene, humulene adds a woody tone to the earthy scent, and it's intriguing that hops contain it. Beta-caryophyllene's spicy, peppery scent adds earthiness and reportedly interacts with the endocannabinoid system.
How do feminized cannabis strains work?
A particular breeding method removes male chromosomes from feminised cannabis plants. Feminised seeds result in plants that are nearly always female (99%) and ready to produce THC and CBD-rich buds. It works like magic to give producers flower-producing plants!
