What is the Berkley strain?
Berkley is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its focused effects and herbal and spicy flavor profile.
Berkley is a 100% pure sativa strain with unknown parentage due to breeder secrecy and an intensely high THC level ranging from 24-28% on average. According to breeding legend, Berkeley is originally from an individual with cancer who worked on a science project at Berkeley University, or so the legend goes, and it is rumored that this strain was created as an incredibly successful botany project of a student at Berkeley before spreading throughout the area. Developed by Stoney Girl Gardens, this strain represents the foundational genetics for many of their breeding programs, as this is the Mother of almost everything we make.
The strain features dense round nugs that are dark olive green with minty green patches and dark leaves. These nugs are covered in thick twisty fiery orange hairs and a fine layer of milky white trichomes and syrupy sweet resin. Berkley has an aroma of sweet spicy herbs with a savory hint and a taste of sweet herbal tea with a peppery spicy aftertaste upon exhale. The strain is noted for its very light flavor with very strong effects, making it particularly valued in medical cannabis applications.
