Heisenberg THC Diamond Stardawg Guava

Solid crystals of THCA make up these Heisenberg THC diamonds, named for the Stardawg Guava strain. THCA collects into crystals like these while an extract separates.

Heat turns THCA into THC

The crystals hold THCA, which converts to THC once it is heated. Our THC diamond explainer goes through how the crystals come about, and the concentrates shop has the other extract forms.

THC, CBG and CBD figures for the strain

Leafly gives Stardawg Guava roughly 23% THC and about 1% CBG. AllBud’s page puts THC at 21% and CBD at 1%, and when AllBud mentions the strain’s first-place Best Sativa prize at the 2012 Denver Cannabis Cup, it gives 21.2% THC. Leafly’s 80 ratings average 4.6, and AllBud’s 18 votes average 4.3.

Chemdawg #4 lineage, pine and cheese aroma

Leafly connects Stardawg Guava upward to Chemdawg #4 and downward to Fried Banana, and types it as sativa; AllBud’s version is a 60/40 sativa-dominant hybrid. Leafly finds the smell gentle but complex, mixing pine, cheese and tartness over a chemical flavour that ends clean and earthy, and it names limonene as the leading terpene, trailed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Guava is the fruit AllBud picks out, very sweet and tangy in both smell and taste.

Mostly energizing, with a relaxed side

Leafly’s effect slider puts Stardawg Guava mostly on the energizing side, and AllBud ties the strain to daytime effects. AllBud also calls the overall high relaxing for both mind and body. Among Leafly reviewers, the effects reported most are uplifted, creative and focused.

Health Canada on extracts like diamonds

Diamonds form inside an extract, a product type Health Canada rates high in THC; the agency tells first-time and occasional users to pass extracts by. The agency’s lower-risk guidelines also call for a 6-hour wait, at the shortest, before anyone drives after cannabis.
