Sideshow
What is the Sideshow strain?
Sideshow is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and diesel and mint flavor profile.
Sideshow is a layered hybrid with about 31% THCA, created by crossing Wakanda (a balanced 50% indica/50% sativa strain) with Gush Mints. This indica-dominant hybrid delivers euphoric and soothing effects that uplift your mood and inspire creativity, making it perfect for tackling chronic pain, depression, mood disorders, chronic stress, and insomnia. The Wakanda parent strain was bred by Hoosier Farms as a hybrid cross between Original Glue (GG4), OG Kush, and Cookies, providing a powerful yet well-balanced body high that hits within minutes. The Gush Mints parent is a heavy, indica-dominant hybrid strain cross of Kush Mints and the combination of F1 Durb and Gushers, bred by Bay Area-based Purple City Genetics. As a culmination of multiple popular Cookies family strains, Gush Mints exhibits many of their beloved attributes: gassy, sweet terps with piney notes; dense, dark green and purple nugs coated in trichomes; and a body-zapping high that puts the mind at ease. The strain combines the euphoric and energetic qualities of its Wakanda genetics with the relaxing, mint-forward profile of Gush Mints, resulting in a well-rounded hybrid suitable for both therapeutic and recreational use.
