What is the Shirley Temple strain?
Shirley Temple is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and cherry flavor profile.
Shirley Temple is a cannabis strain that exists in multiple distinct phenotypes, creating some confusion in the market due to decentralized naming conventions. The most commonly referenced version is an indica dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created through crossing Cherry Kandahar and Charlotte's Web, though other sources describe variants with different genetics and characteristics. The strain entered the cannabis lexicon in the mid-to-late 2010s, when cherry-scented hybrids surged in popularity across West Coast and Mountain West markets, with its name nodding to the nostalgic nonalcoholic drink made with grenadine and lemon-lime soda. One prominent version features nearly 85% indica genetic makeup linked to traditional indica strains, ensuring consistently calming and body-centered effects. The strain has gained recognition for producing dense buds with rich, dark green coloration that often exhibit hints of purple under specific lighting conditions, showcasing its aesthetic appeal alongside functional properties. Different breeders have developed their own interpretations of Shirley Temple, ranging from high-THC recreational varieties to high-CBD medicinal phenotypes, contributing to the strain's diverse profile in the marketplace.
