Smoothie
Somango × Blueberry
Smoothie is a modern hybrid cultivar celebrated for its distinct creamy, tropical, and fruit-saturated character. It is predominantly recognized as a cross between Somango and Blueberry genetics, offering approachable yet potent effects.
Appearance
Smoothie flowers typically present a dense, somewhat conical structure, often covered in a frosted layer of trichomes. The coloration can range from light to deep green, with potential for purple or violet hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. Pistils are commonly orange or apricot, providing a contrast to the flower's base colors. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is often favorable, resulting in visually appealing buds with minimal excess leaf material.
Aroma & Flavor
This strain is prized for its complex sensory profile, evoking the taste and smell of a blended fruit drink. Dominant notes include ripe berry and blueberry, complemented by tropical mango and creamy undertones. Hints of candy-like sweetness and subtle floral or citrus notes can also be present, contributing to its dessert-like appeal.
Effects
Smoothie generally delivers a balanced effect profile that leans indica, characterized by a sense of calm and relaxation. Users may experience a creative uplift, making it suitable for various activities. At higher doses, some individuals report a more pronounced couch-lock sensation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Smoothie commonly features myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor, as well as its balanced effects. THC levels typically range from 15% to 25%, with CBD content consistently below 1%.
Growing
Smoothie is noted for its grower-friendly characteristics, offering reliable vigor and commercially relevant yields. Both photoperiod and autoflowering versions are available. Autoflower expressions typically reach heights of 70-110 cm indoors, yielding between 400-550 g/m², while outdoor yields can range from 50-160 g per plant. Photoperiod versions can achieve higher yields with appropriate training and longer growth periods.
Origins & Lineage
The most widely recognized lineage for Smoothie is a hybrid cross between Somango and Blueberry. Somango contributes tropical mango and stone fruit notes, while Blueberry adds berry-jam sweetness and potential for coloration. This combination was developed in the late 2010s, capitalizing on the trend for dessert-leaning cannabis strains, with autoflowering varieties emerging later.
