Genetics & Background
Bred in collaboration with legendary reggae artist Don Carlos and Humboldt Seed Company, Don Carlos leans roughly 65% indica and 35% sativa. This lineage combines the dark, fruity depth of Blackberry OG with the classic tang and fuel of Humboldt Sour Diesel, resulting in a strain that feels both nostalgic and modern. Expect THC levels in the mid-20s, with a profile tuned for connoisseurs who appreciate rich flavor and a nuanced, slow-building buzz.
Aroma & Flavor
Crack a jar of Don Carlos and you get a wave of sour blackberry and blueberry layered over diesel, earth, and a hint of peppery spice. On the inhale, the smoke leans tart and fruity, while the exhale brings in more of that gassy, herbal backbone with a subtle sweetness. It is very much “old-school meets dessert,” making these buds easy to revisit throughout the night.
Effects & Experience
The high typically starts in the head, lifting your mood and smoothing out mental static before spreading into a warm, full-body ease. Many report feeling relaxed, happy, and a bit more talkative or creative, without immediately sinking into the couch. In higher doses, Don Carlos can drift into sleepy, dreamy territory, which makes it a solid pick for evening sessions, music, or winding down after a long day.
Bud Structure & Grow Traits
Don Carlos tends to form grape-shaped, neon-green buds accented by deep purple and blue hues, amber pistils, and a thick coat of chunky, purple-tinted trichomes. Growers can look forward to resinous flowers with a strong terpene presence and that signature sour-berry-diesel nose. With the right environment and basic training, Don Carlos seeds can reward you with dense, eye-catching colas that look as potent as they feel.

Perfect for unwinding after a high-stress meeting. It doesn’t knock me out, just lowers the blood pressure. I can still cook dinner and hang out with the family while feeling great.

I usually stick to OGs, but this hybrid won me over. It has a great resistance to mold, which saved my crop during a rainy October. Solid genetics that actually deliver on the promise.

Positive vibrations all the way. It’s an uplifting, spiritual high that makes me want to listen to music and float. The flavor is earthy and fruity, like blackberries. A true Humboldt classic.

The nose on this is unique—woodsy, spicy, and fruity. It’s not the loudest strain in the jar, but the flavor transfer to the smoke is perfect. A connoisseur’s choice.

A very sophisticated palate. You get distinct notes of blackberry jam and sour earth. It cures into a very savory, complex smoke. If you are tired of just “sweet” strains, try this.
Vincent Hayes Verified Buyer
Shared a joint at a barbecue and it was the highlight of the day. Everyone was chatty and happy. It’s a very social strain that kills anxiety without shutting you up.
Grace Harris Verified Buyer
These plants are absolute trees! I put them in 20-gallon pots and they towered over my fence. The stems are thick and sturdy, supporting massive colas without needing much trellis work. Impressive vigor.

My first time growing outdoors and I didn’t kill it! In fact, I got jars full of bud. It handled the heat waves really well. I’m definitely growing this again next season.
T.T. Verified Buyer
I smoke this before I paint. It unlocks a nice flow state where I’m focused but relaxed. It’s not jittery like a Haze, just a smooth, creative ride. Very inspiring smoke.
