Sunburn
What is the Sunburn strain?
Sunburn is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its focused effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Sunburn is a lime green sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created from crossing Island Sweet Skunk with Rug Burn OG. Originally developed as an 80% sativa/20% indica hybrid with THC levels around 24%, Colorado Seed Inc. later stabilized this strain by crossing their favorite Sunburn phenotype with Gupta Kush, which increased genetic stability and provided an earlier outdoor finish time. The strain has gained recognition for its unique genetics that trace back to interesting origins, with Island Sweet Skunk's genetics supposedly crossing the ocean with Vietnam Veterans. Sunburn produces crystally lime green buds covered in beautiful, frosty trichomes, giving it an attractive appearance that reflects its Island Sweet Skunk heritage. The buds display a sativa-leaning structure with loose calyxes and a tendency to grow tall and lean, while producing an average amount of trichomes but maintaining exceptional stickiness. The strain has earned praise from reviewers for its well-balanced effects and pleasant smoking experience.
