Sherbanger 22 X The Puck by Pagoda Seeds
Sherbanger #22 × The Puck
Sherbanger 22 X The Puck is a mostly indica hybrid developed by Pagoda Seeds, combining the renowned Sherbanger #22 with the classic The Puck. This cultivar is recognized for its dense structure, abundant trichome production, and a nuanced aroma profile that blends gas and sherbet notes.
Appearance
This strain typically develops into medium-height plants with sturdy, lateral branching and closely spaced internodes. The flowers are conical to spear-shaped, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that results in dense, resin-rich bracts. Coloration can range from deep green to shades of violet, particularly under cooler temperatures, with pistils maturing to a burnt orange hue. Trichome coverage is a notable characteristic, with heads often measuring between 90 and 120 microns.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile begins with a strong presence of fuel and sour notes, evolving to reveal sweet sherbet undertones reminiscent of candied orange and mixed berries. Underlying this are earthy, hashy scents, with some phenotypes exhibiting hints of garlic or onion. The flavor follows suit, presenting a complex palate that transitions from gassy and diesel-like to sweet sherbet and earthy spice upon exhale.
Effects
Sherbanger 22 X The Puck delivers a balanced indica expression. While offering an initial lucid and energetic sensation, the effects tend to arc towards a more body-forward, relaxing experience. This makes it suitable for consumers seeking a blend of mental clarity and physical calm.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar is characterized by a dominant THC profile, with CBD levels typically below 1%. The terpene profile is influenced by its lineage, encouraging a balance that includes Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Humulene. This combination contributes to the strain's complex aroma and flavor, supporting both the sweet, citrusy high notes and the deeper, hashy undertones.
Growing
Sherbanger 22 X The Puck is manageable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. It features a relatively practical flowering window, typically finishing between 60 to 70 days. The plants exhibit dense structures with chunky colas and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, producing abundant resin suitable for extraction. Its indica-dominant genetics contribute to a more controlled stretch compared to some sativa-leaning strains.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Pagoda Seeds, Sherbanger 22 X The Puck is a cross between Sherbanger #22 and The Puck. Sherbanger #22 is itself a notable selection from Sunset Sherbet and Headbanger, known for its sweet dessert and diesel notes. The Puck, often linked to the Skelly Hashplant clone from the late 1980s, contributes classic hashplant characteristics, including dense flowers and high resin production. This combination aims to merge modern potency with vintage hashplant traits.
