The first thing you smell when you open Seeds of Kismet’s 90’s Slurricane is this weird old-school hash note that almost feels out of place next to the sweet fruit underneath it. Not fake candy sweetness. Not modern dessert terps. It smells like somebody opened a jar of tropical fruit in the same room as a brick of old Dutch hash. That’s what makes this strain hard to compare to anything else on the shelf right now. A lot of modern flower smells polished in a way that almost feels too clean. 90’s Slurricane doesn’t. The nose is loud, funky, earthy, slightly medicinal, and honestly kind of strange the first time you smell it. Then you go back for another inhale immediately because your brain is still trying to figure out what part of it reminds you of older cannabis.

Seeds of Kismet is our local North Carolina living soil partner. They grow no-till, small-batch cannabis with a focus on rare, high-expression genetics and craft cultivation. This is Seeds of Kismet’s 90’s Slurricane THCa strain, grown no-till in living soil as part of a collaborative breeding project with Superflolicious, and it feels like a deliberate rejection of modern one-note candy strains.

The 90’s Dutch Afghani Side Completely Changes The Slurricane Profile

90’s Slurricane comes from Slurricane x 90’s Dutch Afghani, and you can feel both genetics pulling in opposite directions the entire smoke. The Slurricane side brings grape sweetness, tropical-fruit depth, dense trichome coverage, and the smooth, body-heavy richness people already expect from the lineage. You still get some of the cookie dough complexity from the Do-Si-Dos genetics sitting underneath it, too. But the 90’s Dutch Afghani side changes the strain’s entire personality.

That’s where the funky medicinal nose comes from. The earthy gas. The old-school hash depth. The part of the smell that feels almost dusty and resinous in the best possible way.

Note: The Hash Funk Shows Up Before The Sweetness Does

A lot of fruit-forward flower leads with sweetness immediately. The 90’s Slurricane THCa strain doesn’t. The first inhale leans earthy, funky, and almost savory before the tropical Slurricane side opens up. That weird balance is what keeps the strain from tasting like every other dessert hybrid floating around right now. One Sherlocks customer described it as “the first strain in a while that actually smelled older than it looked.” Honestly, that sums it up perfectly.

James Farmer Focused On The Funk Before Anything Else

James Farmer’s notes on this batch focused less on sweetness and more on the weird medicinal funk sitting underneath everything. In his words, the flower carries “a weirdly hashy kiss of Slurricane and gas underneath.” The fruit shows up more during breakdown. The gas gets louder. Then this earthy resin smell starts filling the room underneath it all. It doesn’t smell trendy. It smells intentional.

The terpene stack on this batch leans heavily into myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene. You taste the earthy, tropical depth first from myrcene and humulene, then the peppery gas from caryophyllene lingers longer into the exhale. The limonene from the Slurricane side keeps everything from getting too dark or muddy. That’s why the flavor keeps shifting while you smoke it instead of flattening out halfway through the joint.

Living Soil Makes The Hash Notes Feel Thicker Instead Of Sharper

According to the grower behind this batch, the hardest part of growing 90’s Slurricane THCa strain was keeping the Dutch Afghani funk present without letting it completely overpower the sweeter Slurricane side during cure. He reportedly described the flower as “way uglier in the room than it tastes in the jar,” which honestly makes sense after smoking it. The inhale starts earthy and funky, almost savory at first. Then, halfway through the hit, the tropical fruit sweetness opens up and softens everything beneath it.

The first few hits stay surprisingly balanced. Then the heavier side slowly starts settling into your shoulders and behind your eyes without completely knocking you flat. It’s not sleepy right away. It just gets denser the longer you sit with it. That slower transition feels very different from modern high-THCa flower that tries to hit as hard as possible immediately.

Sherlocks Didn’t Bring This In For “Mass Appeal”

This is one of those strains the Sherlocks team knew would either completely click with somebody or completely confuse them. One budtender reportedly joked that half the customers smelled it and immediately said “what is that?” while the other half grabbed an eighth before the jar even left the counter. That reaction is probably the best sign possible that the genetics actually carry something unique.

What Sherlocks Staff Kept Mentioning About This Batch

• The hash smell gets louder once the buds are broken apart
• The gas note lingers in the grinder longer than expected
• Customers kept describing it as “old-school” without being prompted
• The tropical sweetness shows up much more in the smoke than the jar

A lot of dispensary flower starts blending together after a while. 90’s Slurricane doesn’t smell like anything else in the room, which is exactly why the Sherlocks team wanted it in the lineup.

90’s Slurricane Feels Built For Smokers Who Miss Older Cannabis

This doesn’t smoke like candy flower pretending to be exotic. The body effect settles in smoothly without flattening your head immediately. Your shoulders relax first. Then the heavier indica side slowly catches up while the Slurricane genetics keep the experience from becoming fully sedative. The smoke itself feels dense and oily in a way that sticks around on your tongue longer than expected. Even after the exhale, you still get traces of hash, gas, and sweet tropical fruit sitting at the back of your throat.

It tastes like somebody crossed modern resin production with older-school cannabis character on purpose. In stock now at our Raleigh, Durham, and Wake Forest locations and ships nationwide.
