Heisenberg shatter StarDawg guava

Heisenberg’s Stardawg Guava shatter looks like translucent glass and snaps apart once chilled. It is usually either dabbed or crumbled on top of flower.

First place in Denver, 2012

Leafly and AllBud both record Stardawg Guava as the first-place Best Sativa at Denver’s 2012 Cannabis Cup. AllBud mentions 21.2% THC alongside that win and connects the strain with daytime effects; the effects its users report are euphoria, focus and uplifting.

Stardawg Guava averages 4.6 from 80 ratings on Leafly, and AllBud shows 4.3 from 18 votes and 5 reviews.

Stardawg Guava’s type and parentage

Leafly’s page types Stardawg Guava as sativa. On AllBud the label is sativa-dominant hybrid, weighted 60% sativa to 40% indica, and the strain is paired with a sister, Stardawg, which AllBud gives as Chemdawg 4 crossed with Tres Dog. Of the two sisters, AllBud says Stardawg Guava leans less on sativa genetics and shows more indica influence. Leafly’s family tree for it runs from Chemdawg #4 down to a child strain, Fried Banana.

Guava, diesel and pine

For taste, AllBud singles out guava, very sweet and tangy, with a chemical harshness once the flower burns. Its flavour tags also take in cheesy, diesel and pine. Leafly tags the flavour as chemical, tropical and ammonia, and its terpene order runs limonene, which it lists as citrus, then caryophyllene and myrcene.
