Shaolin Gleaux CBD Flower

Shaolin Gleaux is a High Alpine Genetics cross of Tangistan R4 and Alpen Gleaux - two very different parents that together produce one of the more unusual sativa-dominant terpene profiles in the CBD flower world. Tangistan R4, also known as T1, traces back to a cross of Dudes Diesel with Pakistani Chitral Kush, then crossed again with R4 - a Colorado-bred line known for its mandarin orange and honeydew terpene character, early harvest timing, and reliable CBD expression. Alpen Gleaux is the High Alpine autoflower that appears in several other crosses in the Originals range: an extremely purple phenotype selected from 168 plants for bud density and structure, with terpinolene dominance and a floral-piney quality that's rare in hemp genetics. Thomas at High Alpine describes his keeper cut of Shaolin Gleaux as having very large purple buds with a complex terpene profile of terpinolene, ocimene, limonene, and myrcene - smelling of mandarin oranges, lemon peels, redwood trees, and passion fruit. That four-way terpene description isn't marketing; it's the direct result of combining the citrus-diesel character of Tangistan R4 with the floral-piney brightness of Alpen Gleaux. The strain was designed as an early-maturing photoperiod variety with hybrid vigour, meaning it was built as much for the grower as for the end user. The specific cut used for this batch is the 2022 sungrown Oregon expression from High Alpine's own estate - hand-bucked and cured in terpene bags to preserve the full profile. This CBD-dominant phenotype complies fully with UK hemp regulations.

Shaolin Gleaux is a daytime strain and a confident one. The terpinolene and ocimene combination is bright, citrus-forward, and uplifting - the kind of profile that sits closest to a classic sativa functional experience within the CBD flower category. Thomas at High Alpine describes the effects as focused and stress-free, best for early to late afternoon. The grapefruit and tangerine nose keeps it from feeling heavy, and there's nothing in the terpene profile that would push it into evening territory. Best prepared as a loose-leaf herbal tea. The aroma on opening is immediately striking - tangerine and grapefruit lead, with a gassy diesel undertone from the Tangistan R4 side and a faint floral-piney note from the Alpen Gleaux parent. Dense, purple-streaked buds with frosty orange pistils and a high trichome coat. 3.30% total terpenes makes this one of the more aromatic strains in the range. At around 14% CBD it sits in the mid-potency bracket. Results may vary.
