Bob Hope strain guide
Bob Hope is a sativa-leaning hybrid from Purple City Genetics, a cross of Super Lemon Haze and Durban Biscotti. People describe it as energetic and creative, with a sweet, fruity and funky smell. It's a newer strain, so there isn't much published about it yet.
Where does Bob Hope come from?
Bob Hope is listed as a Purple City Genetics strain, made by crossing Super Lemon Haze with Durban Biscotti. Seed databases give the same parents and note that Bob Hope was later used to make another Purple City strain, Bob 87.
Super Lemon Haze is a well-known lemon sativa, but Durban Biscotti is not well documented. The name suggests Durban Poison and Biscotti, though we couldn't confirm that from a reliable source. There's also no known link to the entertainer of the same name.
What does Bob Hope smell and taste like?
Descriptions are mixed. One strain database lists a sharp, funky profile: ammonia, blue cheese and grape. Reviewers also mention sweet, fruity and floral notes, plus some gas.
No reliable source publishes terpene results for Bob Hope yet, so we haven't listed any. If your product's label shows terpenes, use that as your guide.
Bob Hope effects: what people report

These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many reviews yet. Dry mouth, dry eyes and feeling anxious are the complaints that come up.
How strong is Bob Hope?
Bob Hope is listed as a high-THC strain, averaging about 28% THC on one major database, with one reviewer reporting a batch around 23%. Little CBD is reported.
Published numbers are limited, so the label on your product is the best guide. Start with a small amount, especially if you're new to strong strains.

Bob Hope vs Super Lemon Haze
Super Lemon Haze is one of Bob Hope's parents and far better known. It's famous for a sharp, sweet lemon smell and an energetic, daytime reputation. Bob Hope shares the upbeat, creative feel, but its smell is described as funkier, with cheese, grape and gas alongside the fruit. It's also listed at higher THC. If you want a well-documented lemon classic, start with Super Lemon Haze. If you're after something newer and stronger, Bob Hope is the one to look for.
