Strain Overview
Studio 54 is the cut Wizard Trees pulled out of the Sunset Sherbert x OZ Kush pheno hunt and decided to keep alive. She is the sister to RS11, born from the same project Doja and Deep East Oakland Farms ran when they bred Sunset Sherbert into the Pink Guava pheno of OZ Kush, but where RS11 went one direction Studio 54 went another. Same parents, different keeper, completely different end product. RS11 reads tropical and gassy. Studio 54 reads creamy, fruity, and a little sweeter, with a candy fade and a heavy back end that sits you down once she finds you.
The flower is loud in the way Wizard Trees product is always loud: dense bud structure, frost piled like snow on dark green calyxes, and an unmistakable bag appeal that has kept this cut on every California flagship menu since release. Open a jar and the room knows: ripe fruit, sherbet, candy, and a faint kush funk underneath that grounds the sweetness. She is one of the few modern dessert hybrids where the candy nose holds up against the kush body without one washing the other out.

Lineage & History: The Sister Project
Studio 54 came out of the OZ Kush project that Doja Pak handed off to Deep East Oakland and Wizard Trees in Los Angeles. Deep East crossed Sunset Sherbert into the Pink Guava pheno of OZ Kush, popped a massive seed run, and Wizard Trees ran the pheno hunt. Out of that field came two keepers: phenotype #11, which became RS11, and phenotype #54, which became Studio 54. Same cross, same hunt, two completely different plants in the same room.
The Sunset Sherbert side is GSC family lineage. Sunset Sherbert is a Pink Panties phenotype crossed with the Sherb Cookies cut, an indica-leaning Cookies-family hybrid that brings creamy dessert sweetness, dense bud structure, and the cookie-and-cream body that anchors so much of the modern catalog. Her contribution to Studio 54 is the cream, the candy fade, and the trichome density.
OZ Kush is the kush half. The Pink Guava pheno is the one that pulled tropical fruit notes out of the kush family, a relatively rare expression that gave breeders something new to work with after a decade of OG-dominated kush genetics. Her contribution is the fruit, the depth in the body buzz, and the dark-side gas that grounds the candy nose. Stack the two together and you get a plant that reads sweet on the front and heavy on the back, exactly the kind of bag-appeal hybrid the modern menu rewards.
Flavor & Aroma
Crack a properly cured jar of Studio 54 and the first wave is sherbet. Sweet cream, ripe pink fruit, a touch of candy. A second later the kush comes through underneath, soft fuel and a faint pine pull from the pinene that keeps her grounded. There is a fruity-floral note that traces directly to the Pink Guava parent, distinct from the citrus side of the Sherbert family, more tropical and sweeter than tangy. Limonene gives her brightness, myrcene provides the earthy bottom, and the caryophyllene rounds out the spice that comes through on the exhale.
The smoke tracks the smell honestly. Inhale opens with sweet cream and tropical fruit candy. Mid-palate brings sherbet, dough, and a soft pepper. The exhale is fruit-forward with a kush fade and a long candy aftertaste that hangs on the tongue for a minute. She is smooth for her THC class. The terpene density softens any harshness the GSC backbone might have brought, and the smoke sits clean in clean glass.
She presses to rosin beautifully. Trichome heads are big, intact, and full, returns are healthy, and the rosin holds the candy fruit nose through the press without flattening. Hash makers have her in the rotation specifically because the cream and fruit translate cleanly to solventless.
Effects & What to Expect
Studio 54 opens hybrid. The first 10-15 minutes feel uplifted, mood brightens, headspace clears, you get a warm cerebral lift that does not race. Conversation flows easier, music sounds bigger, the front end is genuinely social. This is the window where the candy nose feels like the whole experience.
Then the back end shows up. Around the half-hour mark the body weight starts settling in. Shoulders drop, posture gives in, the couch becomes a real consideration. She is indica-leaning and she does not pretend otherwise once she finds you. By the second hour the body is doing most of the talking. The headspace stays warm and content but the legs stop volunteering for anything. Total experience runs 2-3 hours, with a soft fade rather than a hard crash.
Late afternoon, evening, end-of-day strain. She works for dinners, movies, low-key hangouts, the bowl after work that signals the work day is over. New smokers should respect the THC. The candy front end is friendly, the back end is heavier than the smell suggests.
Growing Studio 54
Studio 54 is intermediate to grow. She is more forgiving than the most fragile Cookies-family hybrids but she still rewards a clean environment and an experienced hand. Stretch in early flower runs 1.5-2x, branching is strong once topped, and the lateral colas develop into the kind of weighted, evenly-sized flowers that make a clean canopy photo. Top at node 4-5, install a SCROG at flip, and weave the first three weeks. A 4×4 with 6-9 plants in 3-gallon pots is the standard configuration she rewards.
Feed her conservatively in early flower. She is sensitive to aggressive nitrogen in weeks 1-3 and tip-burns fast if you push past 80% of your standard Cookies feed. Once she stacks in mid-flower you can ramp the PK and she drinks heavy through weeks 4-6. The buds swell hard in week 6, and she finishes dense enough that you have to manage humidity carefully in the back third of flower. Drop RH to 45% in the last three weeks, run strong oscillating airflow under the canopy, and check the densest colas every two or three days. Botrytis loves a Studio 54 cola because the trichome density traps moisture in the core.
She finishes in 56-63 days indoor. Outdoor she is ready early-to-mid October. Indoor yield is medium-to-high, roughly 1.3-1.5 oz per square foot under solid light. Cool nighttime temps in the last two weeks deepen the color expression and preserve the candy fruit terps. Drop nights to 62-66 F if you can.
Cure her slow and patient. Fourteen days minimum in glass at 58-62% RH, burping daily through the first week. The full Pink Guava fruit and sherbet character only really opens up at day 21 of cure. Rush her and you flatten the part that makes her famous. Wash returns are strong, rosin presses dark and full, and she translates to live resin and cart formats with the candy fruit nose intact.
