Skullcap is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and diesel flavor profile.
Skullcap is a cross between Sour Headstash and Biker Kush that puts a gassy twist on a strain that ranges from sour to cookie dough, created by Karma Genetics. This hybrid strain showcases the impressive genetic lineage of both parent strains, with Sour Headstash being derived from Headstash strain with Sour Diesel, while the Headstash itself comes from a complex three-way cross of the immensely popular Girl Scout Cookies, Cannarado's Cherrie Pie and a KarmaRado OG male, Karma Genetics then felt that the strain could use some more OG Kush infuence, so they spliced the genetics with their flagship Biker Kush to create Headstash. Biker Kush contributes its own distinguished genetics as a crossing Hell's OG and Lucifer OG (Hell's OG x SFV OG Kush).
The strain exhibits the resinous look from Biker Kush and holds on to its Headstash roots as far as flavor goes. Physically, Skullcap produces very dense, large and highly resinous buds with white trichomes are characteristic of this hybrid. The strain has won recognition in the cannabis community, with its parent Headstash having clinched 1st prize in the Best Indica category at the 2015 Amsterdam Elite Cup. Skullcap represents a perfect balance of its parent genetics, offering users a complex flavor profile that transitions from sour to cookie dough with a gas twist, making it a standout choice for cannabis enthusiasts seeking both potency and flavor complexity.
