Raskal Barry F2 (white strawberry X blue power) brings White Strawberry together with Blue Power. The first is OG Raskal's strawberry plant, and the reason Raskal Berries exists; the second, Sin City's flagship male, and the reason their catalogue holds together. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. Sin City work from a small stable of proven house parents rather than starting fresh each time, which is why their crosses behave more consistently than the ingredient list alone would suggest.

Written this way, White Strawberry is the mother and Blue Power the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: White Strawberry. White Strawberry - a discontinued OG Raskal plant that only really survives through its crosses. Its own cross is given as The White crossed to Kyle Kushman's Strawberry Cough, which is itself Strawberry Fields over Haze. It is discontinued, and it was never sold feminized, which is a large part of why the Sin City cross matters - Raskal Berries is where that plant still exists in an obtainable form.
• Father: Blue Power. Sin City's flagship, and the male behind most of what they have released since. Parentage: a Power clone crossed to a White Moonshine male in 2010; the Power side is given as Sour Double x Master Kush, and White Moonshine as The White x Blue Moonshine. The mother was bought simply as Power from Progressive Options, a Prop 215 shop in the San Fernando Valley that dealt in elite cuts, and a persistent rumour says it was really the cup-winning Sour Dubb. Nobody has settled that.
• The point of the pairing. Neither parent needed rescuing. Putting them together is about what sits between them, not about fixing either one.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The nose is where these two argue hardest.

• The Aroma. Strawberry off the Cough side, over The White's resin from the White Strawberry side, against sweet kush over sour fuel, with a creamy berry note behind it from the Blue Power side.
• The Taste. Citrus and berry finishing earthy.

What each side brings

• Timing. White Strawberry runs around sixty-seven days indoors, and that is the half of this cross you can actually plan around.
• Two noses, one pack. White Strawberry contributes strawberry off the Cough side, over The White's resin. Blue Power contributes sweet kush and sour diesel with creamy blueberry and vanilla behind it. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. White Strawberry is mostly indica. Blue Power is indica-dominant, usually put around eighty twenty. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put White Strawberry at uplifting and cerebral - the sativa is in there through the Haze and Blue Power at heavy on the body with the mood lifted rather than flattened. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. White Strawberry is mostly indica. Blue Power is indica-dominant, usually put around eighty twenty.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. White Strawberry runs around sixty-seven days indoors. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe White Strawberry as uplifting and cerebral - the sativa is in there through the Haze.
• The Body. Blue Power is reported as heavy on the body with the mood lifted rather than flattened, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Seeds from Sin City Seeds. What they chase is flavour, resin and stability, and they chase it by putting new plants over males they already trust rather than by pairing two fashionable names and hoping. Original Sin City Seeds stock.
