Shogun

Shogun: sativa-dominant genetics with modern performance

Shogun is a feminized photoperiod variety bred from Amnesia Haze and Gorilla Glue 4. This lineage brings together the energetic sativa-leaning structure of Amnesia Haze with the resin-rich, robust character associated with Gorilla-derived genetics. The result is a cultivar appreciated for its productive potential, expressive terpene profile, and versatile cultivation behaviour.

With a genetic composition of 70% sativa and 30% indica, Shogun is aimed at growers looking for a plant that combines vigorous development with a distinctive aromatic signature and strong overall presence in the garden.

Genetic background and key characteristics

• Parent strains: Amnesia Haze x Gorilla Glue 4
• Variety: Photoperiod feminized
• Profile: Sativa-dominant
• Potency: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• CBD: Medium

Shogun inherits desirable traits from both sides of its family tree. From Amnesia Haze, it draws sativa dominance and a lively, expansive growth pattern. From Gorilla Glue 4, it gains density, modern hybrid strength, and a bold terpene presence. These traits make it an interesting option for growers who prefer varieties with both heritage appeal and contemporary garden performance.

Aroma and flavour profile

Shogun stands out for a terpene profile that feels fresh, deep, and classically resinous. The overall impression is reminiscent of woodland freshness layered with bright and sharp top notes.

• Pine: crisp, conifer-like character
• Earthy: grounded, natural depth
• Citrus: bright and lively accents
• Pungent: bold aromatic intensity

This combination gives Shogun a recognisable profile that fits well within the category of classic sativa-forward cultivars, while still showing the fuller body and power associated with its Gorilla ancestry.
