Seb's take
Amnesia Haze and Gorilla Glue #4 make an unlikely pairing for Shogun, two names that could hardly be less alike, yet the result is a sativa powerhouse with distinctly old-school, earthy, piney aromas. The high runs relaxed and euphoric with real medicinal value, bountiful in yield for the effort put in.
Where it comes from
Royal Queen Seeds paired two names that could hardly be less alike for Shogun — Amnesia Haze and Gorilla Glue #4, the breeder's own Royal Gorilla — and the unlikely marriage produced a 70 percent sativa powerhouse with distinctly old-school character. It is an odd couple on paper, the airy Haze and the dense, resinous Glue, yet the cross holds together with a discipline the warlord name rather suits. A deliberate mismatch, in short, that came off better than it had any right to.
Nose & flavour
Pungent and piney, with an earthy base giving it that throwback character the record makes much of — classic, old-school aromas rather than anything modern or sweetened. The Amnesia Haze lends the sharpness, the Gorilla Glue the resinous depth, and between them the profile reads dense and savoury. A serious, grounded nose, the sort that announces its heritage plainly. Earthy at heart, piney over the top, and unmistakably of the older school.
The high
Relaxed and euphoric, energising and uplifting, with the sort of momentum that keeps people coming back for more — a sativa-forward effect that settles enough to stay comfortable while lifting the mood and the mind. It runs bright and engaged rather than heavy, true to its 70 percent sativa makeup. A cheerful, well-rounded high, then, the kind that gets things moving rather than winding them down. Uplifting throughout, and generous with the energy it lends.
Growing it
Given a bit of care and attention, Shogun rewards the grower with bountiful yields — 550 to 600 g/m² from a medium plant of 90 to 140cm. Flowering runs 63 to 77 days, on the longer side as the Haze in her demands, at a serious 25 percent THC with medium CBD. She responds to being looked after, so treat the discipline the name implies as a growing instruction as much as a theme. A generous, characterful sativa, and one that returns the effort you put into her handsomely.
