ShockWave in detail

Origin & classification

ShockWave is a sativa-dominant strain from Falcon 9 × Strawberries & Cream. Exotic Genetix is named as the breeder of this strain. With up to 29 % THC, ShockWave is clearly in the very potent range.

Aroma & flavour

ShockWave’s aroma is primarily floral, earthy, sweet and berry-like. Limonene, Linalool and Caryophyllene complement this impression well and give the profile additional depth. The combination of sweeter and classically spicy notes makes the strain more distinctive than many smoother standard hybrids.

Terpene profile

ShockWave’s effects are generally described as creative, relaxing, energetic and calming. This is precisely what often makes the strain interesting: it does not lean in just one direction, but appeals to both mind and body.

Effect tendency

The flowering time is roughly 56 to 63 days. It is also notable that sources repeatedly describe the strain as having good yields and strong practical appeal.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

ShockWave is therefore particularly suited to people who want to experience aroma and effects together in as balanced a way as possible. Those who enjoy classic, direct strain profiles that are not overly polished may find this direction more appealing than purely trend-driven strains.

Further classification

ShockWave displays floral, earthy, sweet, berry-like and fruity aromas. With up to 29 % THC, ShockWave clearly belongs to the very potent category. Its effects are described as creative, relaxing, energetic, calming and uplifting. Its lineage of Falcon 9 x Strawberries & Cream makes ShockWave’s genetic direction easy to understand. With ShockWave, the aroma is not merely an addition, but a central part of the strain’s identity. Caryophyllene brings a spicy, slightly peppery edge to ShockWave’s overall profile. When assessing ShockWave, it is important that its active side does not stand alone, but is balanced by calmer effects. The parent strains are therefore not only an indication of origin; they also help compare ShockWave more accurately with similar strains. Very high values make ShockWave clearly more modern and potent, while its aroma and genetics define its direction more precisely. The flowering time is recorded as approximately 56–63 days.
