Benzina
Benzina is a name shared by several distinct, unrelated cannabis cultivars, leading to significant variation in terpene profiles and genetic lineage depending on the breeder.
About Benzina
The name Benzina is currently applied to multiple, non-interchangeable releases, making it essential to identify the specific breeder behind the cut.
Purple City Genetics released a version as part of their El Krem extraction line, crossing PapayaBerry Runtz with GovernMint Oasis. This selection is noted for high THC output and large extraction returns, with a profile that balances creamy papaya candy and tart berry notes with a backend of mint, lemon-lime, fuel, and cracked pepper.
Another version, released by The Growing Pains Official, utilizes a different genetic foundation, pairing Animal Gas with Sherb Cream Pie. This iteration is reported to be more fuel-forward, characterized by sharp petroleum funk tempered by a creamy, pastry-like richness.
A third lineage, attributed to Masterseeds.ca, is frequently cited online as a cross of Sour Diesel × Gelato. However, as the original breeder documentation for this version remains inaccessible, its genetic history is currently considered unconfirmed.
Plant characteristics
The Purple City Genetics cut produces dense, resin-heavy buds that exhibit deep forest-green coloration, often developing purple flaring when exposed to cooler temperatures. The version from The Growing Pains Official also features dense, frosted buds with a mix of bright green and purple hues.
