Omaha Bias

Uplifting | Legendary | Complex Intoxicating Aroma
Stability 6/10

If you were smoking weed around the Omaha, Nebraska jam band scene in 2010 or afterwards, you would be quite familiar with the legendary “Sweet Jazz.” It is the hands-down best smoke in the opinion of many seasoned revelers. Sweet Jazz is a clone-only strain that exists very much under wraps in the secret indoor grows of Omaha where Cannabis is still forbidden. It was found in a population of Jamaican bag seed crossed with Sweet Tooth. A basement grow full of Sweet Jazz got a tipoff that they would be raided, so all the plants had to be evacuated and the stress caused some hermie flowers which resulted in the occasional bag seed from this run – an accidental Sweet Jazz S1 was born. We had the honor of sifting through plants from this S1 population in our garden in 2021. It did quite well, finishing thick colas with very little bud rot in early-mid October. We pollinated with a male from a Sweet Jazz/Purple Princess cross and selected those that expressed the most true-to-type Sweet Jazz aroma for release.

When I asked our friend who provided these special seeds about what aromas we were looking for (Betsy knew Sweet Jazz well, but I’d never met the flower), he said “dude, I simply cannot describe it. It is utterly unique. If I told you anything else, it would lead you in the wrong direction, because the Sweet Jazz is like nothing else”. This is all he would give me and of course this description was like catnip for me. I grudgingly must now agree that it cannot be described in much of a useful way… it shares a certain creamy floral note with the Raspberry Parfait, another absolute showstopper.

We dub this variety “Omaha Bias” in honor of Ben’s grandfather who had a gift with made-up words. In his language ‘omahabias’ loosely translates to ‘bullshit’ or the kind of affable sales pitch that he knew every flavor of as a business owner and salesman of menswear. In the tailor business, ‘the bias’ refers to the line on fabric that is at an angle to the weave. This slanted sense of the word bias is what we mean in this name and we hope that this utterly unique plant will cut at an angle to the grain for you, put a little lean in your step, and grace your garden with a unique gem from the hills of Jamaica and midwestern basements.
