Strain Review: Shangrila

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine a world free of pain, stress and insomnia. A special place of peace and tranquility. This is a journey that Shangrila can take you on.

Exhale as you enter a state of alert relaxation, this strain is great for mind and body relief. With Shangrila one experiences a variation of sweet flavors including fruity grape and lemon-mango, to light coffee and spicy notes.

Many medical patients appreciate Shangrila for its ability to suppress pain and relieve stress, while connoisseurs and growers alike admire this strain for its outstanding plant structure and high levels of frosty resin content.

Phenotypes: The first, most recognizable pheno is more bushy than stretchy with an indica-like structure. This pheno often displays chunky nuggets densely coated in trichomes resting atop dark purple foliage. The impressively firm flowers ooze when harvested. The second notable pheno has obvious stretch early on, so a healthy topping in both vegging and flowering cycles are recommended. This pheno can exhibit a plethora of epic pineapple shaped colas containing violet colored pistils peppered in dense, light green buds. Shangrila is a great terpene producer for extraction lovers.

Height: Medium to large stretch.

Yield: This lady blesses growers with massive yields.

The High: A fusion of cerebral elation and physical relaxation providing relief from stress, pain and nausea. It can also be a great aid for those with insomnia hoping to fall asleep faster.

Taste/Aroma: Tastes range from gooey grape-berry and lemon-mango to slight coffee and skunky with fruit nuances. The smoke is sweet and slightly spicy as it invigorates your taste buds. The flavor becomes more pronounced when vaping.
