Strawberry Shortcake Pucker
Also known as: Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Pucker
Strawberry Shortcake Pucker Strain Overview
Strawberry Shortcake Pucker is a hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to emphasize its distinctive fruity aroma and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but most sources trace its lineage to a cross between Strawberry Cough and a phenotype of the classic Shortcake strain. Breeders focused on stabilizing the strain's unique terpene profile while maintaining its moderate THC levels, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal users who prefer flavorful cannabis with manageable psychoactive effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. Growers note that the plant produces a sticky resin that contributes to its potent effects and aromatic qualities. The name 'Pucker' refers to the tart, citrus-like undertone that accompanies its primary strawberry flavor, creating a complex sensory experience.
Strawberry Shortcake Pucker has gained recognition in cannabis competitions for its aromatic profile and has become increasingly available in legal markets since the mid-2010s. The strain's balanced genetics make it suitable for various consumption methods, though vaporization is often recommended to fully appreciate its nuanced flavor profile. As with many modern hybrids, precise cannabinoid and terpene profiles can vary between different growers and phenotypes, but the strain consistently maintains its signature strawberry-forward characteristics.

Strawberry Shortcake Pucker is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and produces medium to high yields when properly maintained. Outdoor cultivation is possible in temperate climates with a harvest window around late September to early October.
