The Puck X Durban Sherbet by Pagoda Seeds
The Puck × Durban Sherbet
The Puck x Durban Sherbet is a sativa-dominant hybrid from Pagoda Seeds, blending classic hashplant traits with modern dessert-like terpenes. This cultivar is noted for its vigorous growth, high resin production, and potential for focused daytime effects, making it suitable for both experienced growers and discerning consumers.
Appearance
This hybrid typically produces medium-dense to dense flowers with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, facilitating easier hand-trimming. Trichome coverage is notably heavy, giving the buds a frosted appearance. Phenotypes can range from compact, golf-ball-like nuggets to more elongated, spear-shaped colas. Colors vary from deep greens to shades of lavender or violet, especially in cooler conditions, with vibrant orange or copper pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is complex, opening with notes of citrus zest and sweet cream, layered with spice, herbs, and incense. Flavors on the dry pull include candied citrus peel and vanilla cream, with a peppery finish. Upon combustion, expect a smooth experience with hints of sugar cookie, pine, and pink peppercorn, while vaporization highlights orange sherbet, lemongrass, and herbal sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium-rich with a creamy mid-palate and a clean, persistent finish.
Effects
The Puck x Durban Sherbet is recognized for its potential to deliver focused, daytime effects. Its genetic background suggests a possibility for THCV expression, which is often associated with energizing and attention-enhancing qualities. Consumers may experience a clear-headed experience suitable for various activities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab results vary, the terpene profile is anticipated to be a blend of earthy, spicy notes from The Puck (potentially Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Humulene) and brighter, citrus-herbaceous notes from Durban Sherbet (potentially Limonene, Linalool, Terpinolene, Ocimene). The THC content typically ranges from 18-26%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
Pagoda Seeds bred this hybrid for robust and manageable growth, with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. It is noted for fast, reliable flowering, with hashplant genetics historically finishing in 8-9 weeks. The cultivar is well-suited for both flower production and solventless extraction due to its resin quality.
Origins & Lineage
This hybrid is a cross created by Pagoda Seeds, combining the legendary “The Puck” cut, often linked to the Skelly Hashplant lineage, with a Durban Sherbet line. The Puck contributes dense resin and rugged growth, while Durban Sherbet introduces a dessert-like flavor profile and sativa-leaning characteristics.
