Some strains get buzz. Whoa Si Whoa built a legacy. And the California team behind it, Top Shelf Cultivation, has turned connoisseur genetics, careful craft, and relentless pheno-hunting into a string of trophies and a fanbase that spans the state.
The Top Shelf Difference
Long Beach–based Top Shelf Cultivation is known for small-batch care and strain-first flavor. Their calling card is Whoa Si Whoa, a cultivar that’s racked up multiple High Times Cannabis Cup wins and other first-place awards across California, cementing Top Shelf as a go-to for heavy hitters with real terp character.
Meet the Legend: Whoa Si Whoa
- Lineage: The White × Do-Si-Dos
- Profile: Sweet, earthy gas with citrus/lime notes; often limonene-forward with supporting myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene.
- Why people love it: Big potency with a “sit back and say whoa” effect; a perennial cup contender.
Top Shelf has even expanded on the line with expressions like Lemon Whoa-Si-Whoa, showcasing bright zest over that signature Whoa backbone.
Awards & Cred
Whoa Si Whoa isn’t a one-and-done hype strain, it’s a serial winner. Press coverage notes multiple first-place finishes (including High Times People’s Choice in SoCal), with Top Shelf reporting 10+ first-place awards tied to the strain since its debut.
Flavor, Potency, and Consistency
Reviewers consistently call out potency in the mid-20s to 30% THC and the smooth, gassy-sweet flavor that made Whoa Si Whoa a modern classic. If you’re choosing based on taste and effect, this cultivar reliably shows up in both departments.
