New Strains Alert: White Lightning, Stardawg, Orange Skunk, and Candy Cane

Bailey RahnLast updated July 28, 2020

We added four new strains to the Leafly database this week, and they’ll be needing your evaluations! If you’re looking for a strain that’s lighter than an indica but still packs a punch, we recommend keeping an eye out for White Lightning and Stardawg. Orange Skunk is a flavorful hybrid with more cerebral-focused effects. A heavier alternative is Candy Cane, a potent indica with a jolt of euphoria and calming, stress-relieving qualities.

Are these strains currently blessing your stash jar? If so, be sure to share your thoughts by leaving a review!
