Han Solo Burger

Also known as: Larry Burger, HSB

Breeder: Skunk House Genetics

Han Solo Burger is a flagship cultivar from Skunk House Genetics' renowned Burger family, crossing GMO Cookies with Larry OG to amplify savory chem-funk aroma while adding OG-derived structure and resin density. Known for oversized, trichome-coated colas with a pungent garlic-diesel nose, it delivers a potent, long-lasting body high that transitions from initial cerebral buzz into deep sedation. A cornerstone parent in the modern Burger lineage — most notably producing Donny Burger (a GMO backcross through Han Solo Burger) which won the 2023 Emerald Cup. SeedFinder lists 23 direct descendants. Han Solo Burger emerged in the late 2010s as part of a broader movement to push beyond dessert-sweet terpene profiles and re-embrace fuel, garlic, and earth. Skunk House Genetics, known as the home of 'Burger' genetics, developed the cross to amplify GMO's savory chem-funk while adding OG-derived structure and resin output. The cultivar quickly became a staple in solventless extraction programs due to its oversized glandular trichomes, aggressive resin coverage, and wash returns that rival dedicated hash plants. THC typically tests between 26–32%, with dominant terpenes including caryophyllene (0.8–1.2%), limonene (0.9–1.4%), myrcene (0.5–0.8%), and humulene, creating an aroma of roasted garlic, diesel fuel, rotten onions, and subtle citrus zest. The cultivar is associated with elevated volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) that produce an aroma profile sharply different from fruit-forward modern hybrids.

Lineage & Genetics

Cross: GMO Cookies x Larry OG

Parent strains in encyclopedia:GMO→Larry OG→

GMO Cookies (Chemdawg x Girl Scout Cookies) brings the intense garlic-mushroom-onion funk, extreme potency, and dense trichome production that defines the GMO line. Larry OG (OG Kush x SFV OG) contributes classic OG Kush structure — tight internodes, heavy resin rails, and a fuel-forward lemon-pine terpene layer that adds citrus brightness to GMO's savory darkness.

Terpene Profile

DOMINANT

Caryophyllene — Dominant spicy-peppery terpene that drives the savory garlic-pepper character

DOMINANT

Myrcene — Earthy, musky heaviness that contributes to the deep sedative body effects

SECONDARY

Limonene — Citrus undertone inherited from the Larry OG side; adds brightness to the garlic funk

SECONDARY

Humulene — Hoppy, woody spice that reinforces the savory aromatic profile

Aroma: Pungent garlic and diesel dominate with onion, black pepper, earthy spice, and a citrus undercurrent. The nose is immediately recognizable and intensely savory — opening a jar fills a room.

Flavor: Garlic and black pepper on the inhale with pine and earthy-woody notes. The exhale is diesel-forward with a lingering savory funk that coats the palate.

Effects & Experience

Onset: Initial cerebral buzz arrives within minutes — a warm, euphoric headspace with a tingly body sensation building underneath.

The body high intensifies steadily, transitioning into heavy, full-body relaxation and sedation. Strong couch-lock at moderate-to-high doses. Pronounced appetite stimulation ('the munchies') is a hallmark effect.

Duration: 3–4 hours; the sedative body effects are notably long-lasting compared to other indicas.

Environment

Indoor, Outdoor

Han Solo Burger is a vigorous indica-dominant hybrid from Skunk House Genetics that inherits GMO's voracious appetite and resin output alongside Larry OG's tighter nodal spacing and structural integrity. During the flip to 12/12, most phenotypes stretch 1.5–2x their pre-flower height, with some GMO-leaning expressions pushing more aggressively. Topping twice in veg and running a SCROG or horizontal trellis is strongly recommended to create an even canopy and prevent lower sites from being shaded out. Lateral branching is generous; supercropping secondaries in late veg rewards growers with multiple chunky cola sites rather than one dominant main stalk.

Yield

Structure tends toward medium-tall frames (5–8 ft untopped outdoors) with thick, woody stems capable of supporting the heavy terminal colas this cultivar produces. Indoors under high-efficiency LEDs, yields of 450–700 g/m² are common at optimized PPFD, with experienced cultivators exceeding 750 g/m² when supplementing CO2 to 1,000–1,200 ppm. Under a single light, properly defoliated plants routinely pull 2.0–2.6 lbs. Outdoor plants in favorable climates can reach 1.5–3.0 lbs per plant depending on root volume and season length.

Flowering Time and Harvest

Flower time ranges from 56–70 days depending on phenotype and target ripeness. The faster-finishing cuts wrap at 56–63 days; growers pushing for maximum resin maturity or amber-heavy sedative profiles may extend to 63–70 days. Calyx swell is pronounced in the final two weeks, and trichome heads cloud heavily before significant amber sets in.

Nutrient Management

Nutritionally, Han Solo Burger is a moderate-to-heavy feeder. In coco or hydro, maintain root-zone pH at 5.8–6.2 with EC climbing from 1.2–1.4 in late veg to 1.6–2.2 during peak bloom; aggressive PK boosting in weeks 3–5 of flower drives calyx density and resin output, with some cuts tolerating EC up to 2.4 without tip burn. Front-load calcium and magnesium from early flower to support cell-wall strength under high light. Sulfur supplementation (gypsum top-dress in soil or sulfate-based feeds in hydro) supports the volatile sulfur compounds responsible for the garlic-onion terp signature. Taper EC in the final 10–14 days for cleaner combustion and vivid flavor expression.

Growing Media

The cultivar performs well in living soil, coco, or inert hydro. Soil growers should prioritize drainage and slow-release amendments; coco and rockwool cultivators benefit from small, frequent irrigations to 10–15% runoff maintaining stable root-zone EC. In soil, pH 6.2–6.8 with generous aeration amendments works best.

Environment targets

24–27°C days in veg, 23–26°C days in flower, night temps 3–5°C lower to promote color expression and terpene retention. Relative humidity at 60–65% in veg, 45–50% during weeks 1–5 of flower, dropping to 40–45% from week 6 onward. Target VPD of 0.8–1.2 kPa in veg and 1.2–1.5 kPa in flower. Strong laminar airflow is essential; avoid direct fans blasting maturing colas to prevent terpene desiccation.

Lighting

350–600 PPFD in veg under 18/6, increasing to 600–900 PPFD in early flower, then 900–1,200 PPFD in peak bloom with CO2 supplementation. A balanced full-spectrum LED with a slight far-red bump at lights-off aids phytochrome cycling and may subtly improve resin density.

Bud Structure and Trichomes

Color expression includes purple hues on sugar leaves and occasional deep violet bract coloring when nighttime temps dip below 18°C during weeks 6–8. Bud structure is rock-hard, compact spears with exceptional density—pale green to silvery due to greasy resin coverage, with oversized glandular trichomes that give a frosted, almost white appearance under light.

Pest and Disease Resistance

IPM is critical given the extreme bud density. Han Solo Burger is susceptible to botrytis and powdery mildew in high-humidity environments. Prophylactic biologicals (Bacillus subtilis, potassium bicarbonate) should begin in veg. Beneficials like Amblyseius cucumeris and A. swirskii suppress thrips and mites. Avoid foliar residues past early flower. Despite mold sensitivity, the plant is generally sturdy and pest-resistant in well-managed environments.

Wash data for solventless extraction is exceptional

fresh-frozen bubble hash yields of 4.5–6% are routinely reported, with standout phenos pushing toward 7%. Best quality concentrates in the 73–120 micron range. Dry-cured flower pressed at 165–175°F returns 22–26% rosin with a greasy badder texture that cold-cures into creamy perfection. Hash-to-rosin press efficiency is typically 65–75%.

Drying should proceed slowly

10–14 days at 15–18°C and 58–62% RH with whole-plant or large-branch hanging and minimal light exposure. Cure 4–8 weeks in airtight containers at 58–62% RH, burping regularly during weeks 1–2 then tapering checks. Proper storage at 15–20°C in opaque containers preserves the volatile sulfur compounds and garlic-gas terpene profile that define this cultivar. Terpene losses can exceed 20–30% over six months at higher temps with frequent oxygen exposure.

History & Origin

Bred by Skunkmasterflex of Skunk House Genetics (founded 2005, Michigan), Han Solo Burger was created to amplify the savory funk of GMO Cookies by crossing it with the structurally superior Larry OG. The strain became the foundation of the 'Burger' family — a lineage that emphasizes garlic-forward, high-resin, extract-grade flower. Its most famous offspring, Donny Burger (GMO × Han Solo Burger), won the 2023 Emerald Cup. With 23 direct descendants on SeedFinder, Han Solo Burger's impact on modern savory-terp breeding is substantial.
