Don Shula is an indica-dominant hybrid resulting from a cross between The White and a Diagonal lineage, itself a blend of True OG and East Coast Sour Diesel. Named after the famous Dolphins coach, this cultivar earned third place for Best Hybrid at the 2016 Colorado Cannabis Cup, a testament to its potent lineage and crowd-pleasing profile. The resulting buds are known for their resinous structure and the bold character that diesel-forward genetics tend to deliver.
With THC typically around 22 percent, Don Shula delivers an upbeat, energetic start marked by euphoria, happiness, and a sharpening of mental clarity and focus. As the high unfolds, a mellow, full-bodied relaxation settles in, easing tension and inviting a state of calm. Many users reach for it to counter fatigue and depressive mood, and some report relief from headaches or migraines; it is generally not recommended for those prone to anxiety.
Its flavor leans diesel with bright hints of lemon and pine, finishing with a touch of spice on the exhale. The aroma walks a sharp, sour-diesel scent that leans earthy and pungent, with kushy and woody undertones. In bud form, Don Shula presents small light-green flowers heavily coated with a thick frost of tiny white trichomes, a visual cue to its potent resin production. In composition it is an indica-dominant variety, often described as about 70 percent indica and 30 percent sativa, pairing a relaxed body high with a focused uplift.
