Heisenberg Live Resin Stardawg Guava

Live resin starts with cannabis frozen right at harvest time, bypassing drying and curing altogether, so that a bigger share of the fresh plant’s terpenes makes it into the extract. This Heisenberg live resin takes its name from Stardawg Guava.

Limonene first, then caryophyllene and myrcene

Leafly ranks limonene, a terpene it ties to citrus, first for Stardawg Guava, with caryophyllene behind it and myrcene in third place. AllBud gives the strain’s aroma as cheese, chemical, diesel, earthy and pungent. For flavour, AllBud reports very sweet, tangy guava that picks up a harsh, chemical bite as the buds burn.

Mint-green buds with purple undersides

AllBud describes the strain’s buds as small and hairy, coloured a light mint green with purple tones underneath, and dotted with orange hairs and amber trichomes.

Leafly names Chemdawg #4 as the parent of Stardawg Guava, lists it as a sativa, and shows Fried Banana as a strain bred from it.

Leafly’s account of the high

Leafly describes the strain arriving between the eyes as uplifting sativa stimulation, followed by a subtle, vibrating warmth spreading into the body. On Leafly’s effect slider, it reads as mostly energizing. Leafly’s strain page puts THC near 23%, and AllBud’s puts it at 21%.

Resin and rosin are different extracts

Rosin is another thing entirely, squeezed out by heat and pressure alone, without solvents. Our guide to how live resin and live rosin differ compares the two, and a walk-through of live resin production follows the steps from frozen plant to finished extract.

Timing and driving advice from Health Canada

Health Canada’s lower-risk page says inhaled cannabis is felt within seconds or minutes, and that the peak can lag by up to 30 minutes. Its lower-risk use guidelines ask that 6 full hours go by after cannabis before anyone drives.
