44ds by Boneyard Seeds Norcal
44DS is a hybrid strain developed by Boneyard Seeds Norcal, a Northern California breeder recognized for robust genetics. This cultivar balances structure, aroma, and potency, making it appealing to both growers and consumers. It is known for producing dense, resinous buds.
Appearance
44DS typically exhibits a medium stature with a strong central stem that benefits from topping. The plant features moderate internodal spacing, allowing for dense bud stacking along the branches. Broad to medium-width leaves are usually a dark emerald green when adequately supplied with nitrogen. In the later stages of flowering, the calyxes swell and form dense colas with tight bracts, contributing to its visual appeal. Abundant trichome coverage on the bracts and sugar leaves creates a frosty appearance, indicative of its extraction potential. Some phenotypes may display purple hues on the margins of sugar leaves and calyx tips when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of 44DS is complex and layered, often presenting sweet, candy-like notes that overlay an earthy or diesel-forward foundation. Depending on the specific phenotype, these primary scents can be complemented by floral or herbal undertones. The flavor follows suit, offering a blend of sweet and earthy notes, often with a citrus or pine finish.
Effects
Consumers report that 44DS provides balanced effects, suitable for moderate doses where it can offer clear functionality. At higher intake levels, the strain tends to induce heavier relaxation. Its profile is often described as providing steady relief without being overly sedating for many users.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific laboratory data for 44DS is limited, community reports and breeder insights suggest a terpene profile commonly featuring caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. These terpenes can contribute to warm spice, earthy, and citrus notes. The THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
44DS is considered a hybrid that performs reliably in various environments, translating well from indoor to outdoor cultivation. It is known for its sturdy structure and resin production, yielding dense, trichome-covered buds. The strain typically experiences a stretch of 1.5 to 2 times its height after the transition to flowering. Careful attention to humidity is recommended due to the dense calyx structure.
Origins & Lineage
44DS was developed by Boneyard Seeds Norcal, a breeder from Northern California known for producing resilient and high-quality genetics. While the precise parentage has not been officially disclosed by the breeder, the name has led to community speculation regarding potential crosses. Its expressions and terpene profile suggest influences common in West Coast breeding, possibly involving families like Cookie, OG, or Diesel.
