4th Degree Burn by Reign
Unknown
4th Degree Burn is a hybrid cultivar developed by Strain Reign, bred for its potent aromatic qualities and stimulating effects. This strain is characterized by its sativa-forward profile, offering a clean, cerebral experience rather than heavy sedation.
Appearance
This cultivar typically exhibits classic sativa growth patterns, developing a medium-tall frame with significant stretch during early flowering. Buds form long, tapering spears with dense calyxes for a sativa-leaning strain. Visually, it presents with lime to fern green coloration, accented by pumpkin or tangerine pistils that can deepen with maturity. Phenotype-dependent coloration may include muted purple tips in cooler temperatures. The buds are notable for their high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant, glistening trichome coverage, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is intensely fragrant, characterized by vivid citrus zest, sweet pine, and fresh floral notes reminiscent of lemongrass. Underlying tropical fruit esters, such as guava and unripe mango, are balanced by a peppery, herbal snap. Upon closer inspection, hints of lime peel, green apple skin, and subtle eucalyptus emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering spritzy lime, sweet pine sap, and floral tea on the inhale, followed by a crisp green-herb finish and a clean citrus-peel bitterness on the exhale.
Effects
4th Degree Burn is primarily known for its stimulating and uplifting effects, aligning with its sativa-dominant heritage. Consumers often report a cerebral experience that promotes clarity and focus, making it suitable for daytime use. The effects are described as energetic and euphoric, encouraging creativity and providing a mood elevation without inducing significant sedation or couch-lock. This makes it a good choice for combating fatigue and enhancing engagement.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data is not always public, the aromatic profile suggests a dominance of terpinolene and limonene, supported by ocimene and alpha-pinene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's bright, effervescent, and citrusy characteristics. The THC content typically ranges from 19% to 24%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is noted for its volatility, contributing to its potent and dynamic scent and flavor.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Strain Reign, a breeder focused on vigorous genetics and clean, cerebral effects, 4th Degree Burn is considered a mostly sativa hybrid, often described as approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica. While the exact parentage has not been publicly disclosed, its traits strongly suggest sativa-forward lineage, drawing inspiration from classic Southeast Asian and African sativa varieties known for their uplifting and euphoric qualities. It is designed to offer a modern take on heritage sativa effects, prioritizing clarity and mood elevation.
