Heisenberg Wax Stardawg Guava

Stardawg Guava, a strain Leafly traces back to Chemdawg #4, gives its name to this Heisenberg wax. Wax is a soft, opaque extract with a waxy body that comes away in scoops; crumble, a drier relative, breaks apart instead.

Stardawg Guava’s family tree

On Leafly, Chemdawg #4 is the parent, and Fried Banana appears as a strain descended from Stardawg Guava.

AllBud traces the family sideways: it pairs Stardawg Guava with a sister, Stardawg, whose parents it gives as Chemdawg 4 and Tres Dog. Between the sisters, AllBud sees more indica influence in Stardawg Guava. For type, Leafly puts the strain with the sativas, and AllBud’s split is 60/40 in favour of sativa.

A strong start, then warmth

AllBud describes effects that arrive strongly, beginning as a tingle across the forehead and behind the eyes before energy and focus pick up, along with clarity of mind and motivation. Leafly also places the first effect between the eyes, then describes a subtle warmth that vibrates through the body. Leafly reviewers most often report feeling uplifted, creative and focused.

The 2012 Cannabis Cup and THC figures

Both Leafly and AllBud list Stardawg Guava as the winning Best Sativa entry at the 2012 Denver Cannabis Cup. As for THC, Leafly shows roughly 23% for the strain and AllBud 21%, with AllBud citing 21.2% when it brings up the Cup.

Health Canada’s word on wax and driving

Health Canada singles out wax by name, along with shatter, hash and kief, as an extract heavy in THC, and it asks first-timers and occasional users to leave such extracts alone. Its separate lower-risk guidelines say cannabis and driving should be kept 6 hours apart, if not longer.
