Reset by Dr Fingerleaf
Reset is a sativa-leaning cultivar developed by Dr Fingerleaf, designed to promote mental clarity and reframe the day. It emphasizes classic sativa traits such as focus and momentum, moving away from heavily sedating profiles.
Appearance
Reset plants grow medium-tall to tall, exhibiting significant stretch during the initial weeks of flowering. They feature medium-long internodal spacing and pronounced apical dominance unless trained early. The canopy develops with narrow, lanceolate leaves, characteristic of sativa genetics. Flowers form as elongated spears with densely packed calyxes, displaying vibrant lime-green bracts and copper-orange pistils. Trichome coverage is generous, creating a sparkling frost on bracts and sugar leaves.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Reset is bright and brisk, with prominent citrus zest notes layered over a green, herbal foundation. Experienced noses often detect limonene or terpinolene, complemented by hints of sweet rind, crushed pine needles, and subtle fresh basil. Upon grinding, volatile monoterpenes are released, transitioning from creamy citrus to notes of conifer and a faint sweet, lactic quality. Some detect a dry, tea-leaf finish, potentially linked to ocimene.
On the palate, Reset closely mirrors its aroma, starting with citrus notes that evolve into piney bitters. A peppery sensation is noted mid-exhale, possibly from beta-caryophyllene. The finish is clean and bright, leaving the palate refreshed. Vaporization highlights citrus esters, while combustion emphasizes spice and herbal undertones.
Effects
Reset is cultivated to provide a clear-headed experience, aiming to clear mental clutter and enhance focus. It is described as offering momentum and elevated sensory focus, aligning with its sativa-leaning heritage. The strain is intended for daytime use, promoting a sense of re-framing the day rather than inducing sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Reset is limited, THC content typically ranges from 18-25% by dry weight, with some top phenotypes potentially reaching higher percentages. CBD levels are generally below 1%. Total cannabinoid content often falls between 20-28% in well-cultivated flower. Terpene profiles can contribute significantly to the subjective effects, with totals of 1.5-2.5% noted to intensify the experience.
The terpene profile is thought to be influenced by terpinolene-forward genetics, with limonene also commonly detected. Other mentioned terpenes include myrcene, caryophyllene, and ocimene. These contribute to the strain's characteristic citrus, herbal, and piney notes, as well as its focus-enhancing and uplifting effects.
Growing
Reset plants typically grow medium-tall to tall, with a stretch factor of 1.5x to 2.75x during the first three weeks of flowering. They exhibit pronounced apical dominance and develop narrowly lanceolate leaves. Flowers form as elongated spears with densely packed calyxes. The strain can show subtle foxtailing in the final stages of flowering, particularly under high PPFD or elevated canopy temperatures, which may coincide with heightened monoterpene expression.
Origins & Lineage
Reset was bred by Dr Fingerleaf, a boutique breeder known for a small-batch approach. The strain is described as sativa-leaning, with its phenotype expression reflecting this on multiple axes, including internodal spacing and floral cluster shape. Dr Fingerleaf has not publicly disclosed the specific parent strains, but speculation suggests it may descend from terpinolene-forward sativa lines, possibly including classic high-limonene or terpinolene varieties.
