Sugarcane
Also known as: Sugar Cane
Breeder: In House Genetics
Sugarcane is a flagship hybrid from In House Genetics that crosses their proprietary Platinum (UW Hashplant x Permafrost) with Slurricane (Dosidos x Purple Punch). Bred in Seattle, it has become one of the most influential modern cultivars thanks to its extreme trichome production, dessert-forward terpene profile, and exceptional bag appeal. The strain is coveted by extractors for consistently high rosin returns (20–25% reported) and by smokers for its sweet grape-candy flavor with subtle gas undertones. Sugarcane's genetic influence extends widely through the modern breeding scene — it is the direct grandparent of Oklahoma Coma (Truffle Too x Dip'N Stix), as Dip'N Stix is a selfed (S1) Sugarcane created by Beleaf Cannabis. SeedFinder catalogs 18 direct descendants.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: Platinum x Slurricane
The mother is Platinum, In House Genetics' proprietary cross of UW Hashplant x Permafrost (Trainwreck x White Widow) — note this is NOT the Platinum Cookies / GSC Platinum Cut despite some database confusion. The father is Slurricane, In House Genetics' own Dosidos x Purple Punch cross, known for dense structure, grape flavor, and deep purple coloration potential.
Terpene Profile
Myrcene — Sweet, fruity foundation that drives the sugary candy flavor and contributes to body relaxation
Caryophyllene — Spicy peppery warmth that grounds the sweetness and supports anti-inflammatory effects
Limonene — Bright citrus notes that lift the grape-candy profile and drive the euphoric, energetic onset
Linalool — Soft floral layer that smooths the overall experience
Pinene — Fresh herbal accent present in some phenotypes
Aroma: Sugary sweet caramelized candy with ripe grape and floral undertones. Spicy peppery notes emerge when buds are handled. A subtle earthy pungency sits beneath the sweetness. The trichome density makes the nose carry further than expected.
Flavor: Sweet caramelized sugar and grape candy on the inhale with a floral mid-palate. The exhale reveals a subtle gas/fuel undertone that adds complexity. The overall impression is dessert-forward — clean, sweet, and smooth.
Effects & Experience
Onset: Quick-hitting euphoria and mental energy — users feel uplifted, focused, and motivated within minutes.
Notably energetic and functional for an indica-leaning hybrid. Strong euphoria and creative focus dominate the first half, while a gentle body relaxation builds underneath. The physical component never overwhelms the mental clarity at moderate doses. Higher doses bring more pronounced relaxation.
Duration: 2–3 hours. The energetic onset transitions smoothly into calm contentment.
Commonly Reported Uses
Growing Characteristics
Grow Tips: Extreme trichome production makes this strain exceptional for extraction — 20–25% rosin returns reported. Lollipopping and topping recommended to manage stretch and direct energy to top colas. LST works well given the strong branching. Tightly spaced nodes with broad 5–7 finger leaves. Dense buds are coated in a thick snow-like trichome layer.
History & Origin
Bred by In House Genetics out of Seattle, Washington. The strain pairs their proprietary Platinum with their own Slurricane to create a resin-drenched hybrid with dessert flavor. Sugarcane gained widespread recognition for its exceptional extract potential and became a staple in the modern breeding scene. Beleaf Cannabis selfed it to create Dip'N Stix (Sugarcane S1), which was then crossed with Truffle Too to produce Oklahoma Coma — making Sugarcane the direct genetic grandparent of that strain. A Deluxe Sugar Cane selection won 1st Place Non-Infused Pre-Roll at the 2024 Massachusetts High Times Cannabis Cup under Fathom Cannabis. In House Genetics has continued to iterate on the line with Sugar Cane V2 Bx1 (backcrossed to Slurricane #44).
