Splash strain guide
Splash is a hybrid of TK41, a Gushers cut, and Chauffeur. It's known for a gassy smell with lemon and strawberry on top, a very high THC listing and an upbeat, talkative feel.
Where does Splash come from?
One strain database and a California producer listing agree on the cross: TK41, which is another name for a Gushers cut, with Chauffeur. That database credits the breeding to Uncle Dad Vibes, and Greenline in Monterey is one California grower selling it.
Splash is a fairly new, boutique strain, so there isn't much history beyond that. Watch out for other strains with Splash in the name, like Tropical Splash or Lemon Splash, which can be different genetics.
What does Splash smell and taste like?
Gas comes first for most people, a bold fuel smell, with lemon and strawberry sweetness riding on top. The taste is usually described as gassy, sweet and a little earthy.
One strain database and the producer listing both put myrcene at the top, followed by limonene, caryophyllene and ocimene. Myrcene brings an earthy base, limonene the lemon, caryophyllene some pepper and ocimene a sweet, fresh note. The buds are described as silvery green with hints of purple.
Splash effects: what people report
People mostly describe Splash as uplifting, talkative and creative, more energizing than sleepy. Some reviewers also find it focused, and a few mention a relaxed body feel as it settles.
These are experiences people report, not promises. With few reviews so far, the picture may shift as more people try it. Dry eyes are the main complaint mentioned.
How strong is Splash?
One strain database lists Splash at about 27% to 29% THC, which is well above average. That's the only published range we found, so treat it as a rough guide.
That's a lot for anyone new. Start with a small amount and wait before having more. Some labels show THCA as well as THC, and our guide to THCA vs THC explains the difference.
Buying Splash in Canada
Since several strains share the Splash name, check the label or producer description for the TK41 and Chauffeur pairing if that's the one you want.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that fruit and gas.
Splash vs Gusher
Gusher is the Gushers side of Splash's family, through the TK41 cut. Gusher smells tropical and candy-sweet with a little gas, and it's usually described as relaxed and tingly. Splash turns the gas up, adds lemon and strawberry, and reads more upbeat and chatty. It's also listed much higher in THC. If you want sweet and mellow, try Gusher. If a gassier, livelier strain sounds better, try Splash.
