2 Scoops by Elev8 Seeds
Unknown Strain (Original Strains) × Unknown Strain (Original Strains)
2 Scoops is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Elev8 Seeds, recognized for its dessert-forward profile reminiscent of sherbet. It gained popularity in the late 2010s for its appealing aroma, significant resin production, and balanced effects.
Appearance
This strain typically yields medium to large, dense, conical buds with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, which simplifies trimming. The buds are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, appearing frosty white against green bracts. Some phenotypes may display purple or lavender hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle, complemented by contrasting orange or rust pistils.
The abundant, bulbous trichome heads, with a high proportion of cloudy and amber resin, are particularly suited for solventless extraction methods. Well-cultivated plants show consistent trichome development on the upper portions of the colas and sugar leaves, contributing to efficient hash yields.
Aroma & Flavor
2 Scoops presents a prominent aroma characterized by notes of creamy orange sherbet and sweet grape, often with undertones of vanilla. The scent is bright and playful, with citrus peel and sweet sherbet notes leading, followed by a creamier build. When ground, a grape soda-like aroma may emerge, particularly in phenotypes rich in specific terpenes. The aroma is known to be persistent in sealed containers.
The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, delivering a creamy orange sherbet taste upfront, transitioning into a grape candy sweetness across the palate. The exhale often leaves a lingering vanilla-cream taste, sometimes accompanied by a mild peppery sensation. Certain phenotypes might also exhibit a subtle herbal or tea-like dryness in the finish.
Effects
As a hybrid, 2 Scoops is described as offering a balanced experience. While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, its dessert-forward nature and moderate-to-high THC content suggest a profile that could be uplifting and potentially relaxing, appealing to consumers seeking sensory enjoyment.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
2 Scoops typically tests between 20-28% THC, with less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is noted for its prominent Limonene, contributing to citrus notes, and Caryophyllene and Humulene, which add herbal and spicy undertones. Linalool is also mentioned, potentially contributing floral and lavender notes, while Ocimene may enhance the sweet, fruity aspects.
Growing
This hybrid is bred for commercial appeal, known for high resin production and good yields. Growers report a relatively uniform canopy with manageable spacing and strong central colas when pruned. The flowering time is typically around 8-9 weeks. The strain is praised for its abundant trichome coverage, making it attractive for both flower and concentrate production.
Origins & Lineage
2 Scoops was created by Elev8 Seeds as part of a trend favoring dessert-inspired hybrids in the late 2010s. While the exact parent strains are not publicly disclosed and often listed as 'Unknown x Unknown' in lineage aggregators, it is widely believed to be inspired by 'sherbet' genetics, often associated with a combination of orange and grape flavors. This dual-fruit impression is the basis for its name.
