Raspberry Parfait is a breakfast strain in every sense. Humboldt Seed Company calls it a balanced breakfast pick, and the profile fits: fresh raspberries folded into vanilla yogurt, wrapped around a bright, mind-expanding high. This Sativa-dominant feminized line is listed at 20% Indica / 80% Sativa with an average of 22% THC.
The plant grows tall and vigorous, with the long branches and lively stretch typical of Sativa-leaning genetics. Even so, it finishes in roughly 60 days of bloom, quick for a plant with this much Sativa in its makeup.
For growers who want something sweeter and more uplifting than the usual gas-heavy menu, Raspberry Parfait brings a distinctive berry-and-cream terpene profile and a clear-headed effect that works well in the morning or early afternoon.
Raspberry Parfait Lineage: Truffula Tree x Shishka Berry
The cross is Truffula Tree x Shishka Berry, with a Shishkaberry mother and a Truffula Tree father. The plant was flagged in 2017 by Rising Leaf Farms in Oregon during a collaborative phenotype hunt on an R&D seed batch. After visiting the farm and seeing it in person, Humboldt Seed Company built a release around it.
The line is listed as S3 x RSP#B02: a third selfed generation crossed back to the keeper plant, RSP#B02. That work narrows variation and helps each seed express the raspberry nose and tall, vigorous frame of the original selection.
Aroma, Flavor, and Effect
The aroma is sweet raspberry first, then creamy vanilla yogurt. It smells like a parfait cup straight from the fridge: tart berries on top, smooth cream underneath. The flavor follows suit, with a bright berry inhale and a soft, creamy finish.
That berry-and-cream combo is rarer than it sounds. Many fruit strains drift into generic candy, but Raspberry Parfait keeps a distinct tart edge that stops the sweetness from going flat. A slow cure keeps that fresh raspberry note alive.
The effect is listed as mind expanding. Expect a cerebral, open-feeling high that sparks ideas and conversation, with more creative lift than body weight. At 22% THC it has plenty of presence without being overwhelming, which suits daytime use.
Growing Raspberry Parfait Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, plan on about 60 days of flowering. Raspberry Parfait stretches hard, so top early and use LST or a SCROG net to keep the canopy level. Flip to 12/12 a little sooner than you would with an Indica, since the plant keeps climbing through the first weeks of bloom.
Outdoors, this tall Sativa finishes between October 1 and October 10. Give it plenty of vertical room, full sun, and stakes or a trellis for the long branches. Its vigor makes it a good match for in-ground beds where roots can spread.
Humboldt Seed Company does not publish yield figures for this line, but tall, vigorous growth points to a productive plant when it has space. Keep feeding steady through mid-bloom and avoid overcrowding so air keeps moving between the long colas.
