Several storied strains are in Sundae Driver’s lineage. Ancestors include energetic Green Crack, powerfully potent Trainwreck, and classic indica Granddaddy Purps. Old-school landrace strains Hindu Kush and Afghani are distant relatives. 

With so many unique varieties in Sundae Driver’s genetic line, it makes sense that the cannabis strain is truly one-of-a-kind.
