Citral Glue
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Combine Citral Skunk with Original Glue and what do you get? This potent (22% THC) sativa-dominant hybrid is rich in the caryophyllene terpene. While Citral Glue is a beautiful bud decorated with red fibers, it’s aroma is probably its most unique feature—take a splash of diesel fuel, drop in some orange slices, and add a little skunk to it. That’s Citral Glue.
Death Star

Sci-fi cannabis fans unite. This caryophyllene-rich indica strain is a cross between Sensi Star and Sour Diesel, and you’ll know it because of the smell. It has a sweet, petrol-like scent to it that gives it away the moment you take it out of its container. Many cannabis enthusiasts like to enjoy Death Star before bed, but it can truly be consumed any time of day. Just be ready for it: it has 18% THC.
Strawberry Banana or Strawnana
Indica-Dominant Hybrid
This hybrid strain can thank its limonene terpene for the sweet, fruity flavor and aroma that comes with it. It’s a genetic cross between Banana Kush and the strawberry version of Bubble Gum, and it packs 21% THC. Low and slow is the name of the game with this strain.
Kosher Kush or Kosher OG
Indica
This indica strain is potent—21% THC—and for good reason: it’s related to OG Kush, which is a classic strain in the cannabis world. Kosher Kush has an earthy aroma thanks to its myrcene terpene, and some people even report a slightly fruity undertone too. Kosher Kush has won a number of High Times Cannabis Cup awards, so you know it’s going to be good.
