Sherpa
What is the Sherpa strain?
Sherpa is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.
Sherpa is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Karma Genetics, a renowned Dutch breeding company known for their award-winning OG Kush lineages and quality genetics. This strain represents a cross between K2 (itself a hybrid of White Widow and Hindu Kush) and Karma Sour D Bx2, creating a balanced indica/sativa hybrid that combines old-school Dutch genetics with modern breeding techniques. The K2 parent contributes the compact Christmas tree-like growth structure, extensive branching, and tight, resin-rich nuggets characteristic of its White Widow and Hindu Kush ancestry, while the Karma Sour D Bx2 adds vigor, faster growth rates, improved yields, and a distinctive gassy aroma profile. Karma Genetics, established officially in 2008 after winning recognition at the IC420 cup in Amsterdam, has been breeding cannabis since 2000 and operating in the Dutch cannabis scene since 1996. Their breeding philosophy emphasizes 'Keeping It Real' with transparent breeding histories, ethical practices, and respect for traditional cultivation methods. The strain is currently discontinued and was never available in feminized form, making it a rare find among cannabis collectors and breeders.

How do you grow Sherpa?
Sherpa can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with greenhouse growing also suitable. The flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (approximately 63 days average). Plants exhibit the characteristic Christmas tree-like structure inherited from the K2 parent, with excellent branching and compact stature that makes it suitable for indoor cultivation. The strain produces medium to high yields with very resinous, tight, rounded nuggets. Growth vigor and speed were enhanced by the Karma Sour D Bx2 genetics, making it faster-growing than its K2 parent. Only available as regular (non-feminized) seeds, requiring sexing during cultivation. Difficulty level is considered intermediate due to its stable genetics from established breeding lines.
