Editorial profile

Shark in detail

Origin & classification

Shark is an indica-dominant strain from Great White Shark × Super Skunk × White Widow. CBD Seeds is named as the breeder of this strain.

Aroma & flavour

Shark’s aroma is primarily sweet, cheesy and coffee-like. This gives the strain a soft, often very approachable aromatic profile.

Terpene profile

Shark is generally described as potent and heavy in its effects. Overall, the strain therefore leans in a calmer, more physical direction.

Effect tendency

The flowering time is given as around 53 days. The frequently mentioned resin production is also clearly among the characteristics that define this strain. In addition to the aroma, the combination of resin, flower density and solid yields is often highlighted.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

Shark is more suited to people who place greater emphasis on calm, depth and physicality in a strain.

Further classification

What matters here is less a single effect than the calm, full overall impression. The lineage also helps to understand the profile more quickly without making it feel schematic.

Further classification

Shark combines Great White Shark with Super Skunk. White Widow is also named as an additional genetic influence. Aromatically, it moves between sweet, cheesy and coffee-like notes. The effects read as rather calm and physical: potent and heavy. With Shark, the aroma is not merely an addition but a central part of the strain’s identity. Shark’s effect profile is less geared towards activity and more towards a calmer, heavier overall impression. Skunk-related lines give Shark a more direct, spicier and more old-school character. The flowering time is recorded as approximately 53 days. CBD Seeds is listed as the breeder, giving the profile an additional clear layer of provenance. Shark is also associated with a compact, resin-focused flower structure, which supports its fuller strain profile. Within the strain spectrum, it is closer to the relaxed, fuller side than to a purely bright daytime profile. Overall, Shark comes across as clearly defined without being characterised by just one single value.

Further classification

With Shark in particular, it is helpful that its fundamental direction can still be readily inferred from the parent lineage. This makes the strain especially interesting to people looking for a sweeter profile while still expecting structure and a recognisable character. With Shark, it is important that the sweetness does not stand for genericness, but remains clearly connected to its origin and overall character. The result is not an arbitrary dessert profile, but a strain with a clear direction and a distinctive, easy-to-read signature. Overall, it is the calmer, more physical character that stands out, not a loud or nervous impression. Together with its breeder attribution to CBD Seeds, this creates a profile that can be readily understood even without marketing language.
