Studio 54 strain guide
Studio 54 is a balanced hybrid from Deo Farms in California, a cross of Sunset Sherbet and the OZ Kush #54 cut better known as Pink Guava. People know it for a fruity, gassy candy smell and a feel that many describe as focused and creative.
Where does Studio 54 come from?
Studio 54 comes from Deo Farms (often written Deep East), the Oakland breeder behind Pink Guava, with Doja Pak also credited on some listings. The parents most sources give are Sunset Sherbet and OZ Kush #54. That #54 plant is the selection from an Oz Kush seed hunt that became known as Pink Guava, which is why some listings say Sunset Sherbet crossed with Pink Guava instead. Both descriptions point to the same pairing.
The story behind the name isn't documented, though the 54 matches the OZ Kush #54 parent. One strain database lists it as a parent of newer strains like White Soho and Empire 54.
What does Studio 54 smell and taste like?
Descriptions mix fruit and funk. Pineapple and berry come up most, along with tart candy, and there's a sharp gassy edge underneath that some reviewers compare to ammonia.
Myrcene is the only terpene published for it, listed as dominant. No fuller terpene breakdown is available, so the rest of the profile isn't documented.
Studio 54 effects: what people report
People most often call Studio 54 focused, creative and energetic, with a happy, euphoric lift and a body buzz that keeps it from feeling racy for many. Some describe it as relaxing once it settles.
These are reports, not promises. Your experience depends on the product, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and a few people mention feeling anxious or paranoid.
How strong is Studio 54?
Published numbers vary a lot. One strain database lists it at about 18% to 22% THC, while a Canadian product listing shows 26% to 32%. That spread likely comes down to different growers and batches, and CBD is minimal.
Go slowly if it's new to you and check the label for your batch. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what those numbers mean.
Buying Studio 54 in Canada
Studio 54 is still a fairly rare name, so look at who grew it and what parents they list. Because it shares parents with RS11, the two can sound alike on a menu but they are separate selections.
If you find it, it may be sold as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its fruity, gassy smell.
Studio 54 vs Pink Guava
Pink Guava is one of Studio 54's parents, so the family link is direct. Pink Guava is known for a citrus and stone-fruit smell, while Studio 54 adds Sunset Sherbet's sweetness and comes across as more candy and pineapple with extra gas. Pink Guava is usually described as the calmer of the two, while Studio 54 gets called focused and energetic more often. If you like Pink Guava's fruit but want something with more bite and a brighter feel, Studio 54 is the one to try.
