Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada
Overview
Sierra Nevada is a cannabis strain developed by Mr. Spliff Seeds, representing a unique approach to combining popular genetics from Kush and Cookie lineages. This strain is a cross between Tahoe OG Kush and Back Country, where Back Country itself is composed of Forum GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) crossed with Evergreen. The breeding represents what the breeder describes as "very different from a lot of the Kush and Cookie combos", suggesting a distinctive profile compared to typical hybrids using these popular genetics.
The strain's flavor profile is particularly notable, as the rare and unique Tahoe OG Kush brings a very special Black Licorice and Coffee Kush flavor to the Menthol Diesel Cookie hybrid characteristics from the Back Country parent. This creates a complex terpene profile that blends the earthy, fuel-like notes of OG genetics with the sweet, dessert-like qualities of cookies strains, complemented by menthol undertones. The breeder notes that yields vary significantly from phenotype to phenotype, indicating genetic diversity within the line that may produce plants with varying characteristics and potency levels.

Growing Information
Sierra Nevada has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks, making it a moderately quick finisher suitable for most indoor cultivation setups. The strain is available only in regular (non-feminized) seeds, requiring growers to identify and remove male plants. Yields vary significantly from phenotype to phenotype, suggesting that growers may want to grow multiple plants to find their preferred expression. The strain combines the structural characteristics of both parent lines, potentially producing plants with the robust growth of OG Kush genetics and the density associated with Cookie strains. Given its hybrid nature and parent genetics, it should perform well in both indoor and outdoor environments with proper care.
