Skywalker

Overview of Skywalker

The Skywalker strain, a harmonious blend of Mazar and Blueberry strains, achieves a perfect 50/50 split between Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa. Boasting a THC level around 15%, this indica-dominant cultivar, created in Amsterdam by Dutch Passion, is renowned for its powerful mellowing effect, making it an excellent choice for managing chronic pain and insomnia.

Fruity yet spicy, Skywalker emanates a strong blueberry and fruity aroma, enriched with hints of spice and sage. Contrary to Star Wars mythology, it derives its name from an urban legend suggesting a lead cultivator named Luke played a pivotal role in its creation.

Beyond its aromatic allure, Skywalker holds a unique place in the cannabis industry, serving as the precursor to the well-known Skywalker Kush/Skywalker OG Kush/Skywalker OG strain.
