Shortbread is a modern hybrid-indica strain bred from a cross of Sour Diesel and Blueberry. Its specific origins remain undocumented, with no definitive records regarding its breeder or the precise timeline of its development. As a product of these parent strains, Shortbread functions as a distinct entry in the contemporary market, maintained for those seeking a balance between the genetic characteristics of its diverse lineage.

The aromatic and sensory profile of Shortbread is defined by a deep complexity of terpenes. The composition is confirmed to be dominated by caryophyllene, followed by humulene, limonene, bisabolol, myrcene, linalool, beta-pinene, terpinolene, caryophyllene-oxide, nerolidol, pinene, valencene, guaiol, borneol, camphene, ocimene, and geraniol. From a chemical perspective, consumption involves an estimated THC content of 16.8 percent, alongside an estimated 0.11 percent CBD and negligible CBG levels. These figures are derived from averaged published data rather than batch-specific lab testing.

In terms of effects, Shortbread is used primarily for its ability to induce a state of relaxation and mental focus, making it a functional choice for managing pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. It carries a moderate grow difficulty but is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The plant reaches maturity following a 59-day flowering period and is recognized for its high yield. No notable offspring have been recorded to date for this strain.
