What is the BB-8 strain?
BB-8 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 18.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and chemical flavor profile.
BB-8, also known as BB8, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Lost River Seeds as part of their Star Wars Genetics series. Created through crossing Boo Berry and Chem Breath strains, BB-8 exhibits a 70% indica to 30% sativa genetic ratio. The strain was bred by crossing a Boo Berry female from Lost River Seeds with a Chem Breath male, where Chem Breath itself is a cross of Chem 4 (from Chemdog) and Rudeboi OG (from Archive Seeds).
BB-8 produces visually striking buds that are dense, small, and grape-shaped with dark olive green coloration. The flowers display deep purple undertones and are adorned with pinkish-orange pistils, all covered in a coating of tiny pink-white crystal trichomes. The strain is known to produce purple and pink flowers that are rock hard with prominent Chem 4 aromas complemented by berry notes. This combination of genetics results in a unique strain that balances the fruity sweetness of its Boo Berry lineage with the chemical complexity of its Chem Breath heritage, creating a distinctive profile that appeals to both recreational and medical users seeking potent indica effects.
