Triple Burger Strain

Triple Burger Strain: The Third Bite of GMO

The Triple Burger strain is Skunk House Genetics' cross of GMO (Garlic Cookies) and Double Burger — another plant that is itself mostly GMO. SeedFinder lists it as "GMO BX3": the third backcross to GMO in the Burger line that started with Han Solo Burger and ran through Donny Burger. The result smells like garlic, butter, blue cheese and diesel, tests in the mid-20s for THC, and finishes heavy, tingly and sleepy. It belongs in the savory, gassy corner of our THCA flower collection.

It isn't for everyone. Triple Burger is the anti-dessert strain — no candy, no fruit, just umami and fuel. Below: where it sits in the Burger family tree, what the potency numbers really say, how the high unfolds, how to use it, how to grow it, and how to tell a good bag from a tired one.

Triple Burger Strain Genetics & Lineage

• Type: Indica-dominant hybrid. AllBud lists it 70% indica / 30% sativa; Leafly calls it "mostly indica"; one clone seller lists 75–85% indica.
• Ancestry: GMO × Double Burger. Leafly and North Coast Provisions agree on the cross; GrowDiaries writes the GMO parent as "GMO Cookies" — the same plant.
• Breeder: Skunk House Genetics, credited by Leafly, SeedFinder, GrowDiaries and Toker's Guide.
• THC: Leafly lists 25% in its header and 23% in its description; AllBud 24–28%; GrowDiaries and North Coast Provisions 26%.
• CBD and minors: CBD is negligible (GrowDiaries lists 0.1%). Leafly lists about 2% CBG.
• Aliases: Tri, TriBurg (Leafly) and GMO BX3 (SeedFinder).

The Burger family tree — and where the "Triple" comes from

Skunk House's Burger line is one long exercise in pushing GMO's garlic funk further. SeedFinder's genealogy traces it like this:

• Han Solo Burger: GMO Cookies × Larry OG — the first Burger.
• Donny Burger: GMO × Han Solo Burger — the first backcross.
• Double Burger: GMO × Donny Burger (per Leafly and SeedFinder). Leafly lists it at 28% THC with talkative, focused, relaxed effects.
• Triple Burger: GMO × Double Burger — the third backcross, which is why SeedFinder calls it GMO BX3.

Each step adds more GMO, so Triple Burger is about as close to concentrated GMO as the Burger line gets — with a thin thread of Larry OG still running through it. GMO itself is Chem D × Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies, which is where the chem fuel and the cookie density come from.

A lineage conflict to know about: JointCommerce's strain guide describes Double Burger as GMO × Larry OG F8. Leafly and SeedFinder both list Double Burger as GMO × Donny Burger, and that's the version we follow here. Either way, Triple Burger is GMO-dominant.

The line keeps going. Leafly lists Cleo Cleo and Gas Apples as Triple Burger offspring, and Double Burger is one parent of Hashburger, Leafly's 2025 Strain of the Year.

Triple Burger Terpene Profile

Leafly's lab-sourced data lists caryophyllene as Triple Burger's most abundant terpene, followed by humulene and limonene. User-posted test results on AllBud add myrcene. Caryophyllene matters beyond flavor: a 2008 PNAS study identified beta-caryophyllene as a "dietary cannabinoid" that binds CB2 receptors.

• Caryophyllene: The peppery, spicy core of the Burger line and the only common terpene known to act directly on CB2 receptors.
• Humulene: Hoppy and woody; it adds the earthy, herbal sage notes AllBud's reviewers pick up.
• Limonene: A small citrus edge that keeps the finish from being purely savory.
• Myrcene: Musky and relaxing; part of the heavy body weight at higher doses.

The garlic itself isn't one terpene. GMO's onion-and-garlic funk comes from the plant's overall chemistry — likely including sulfur compounds that standard terpene panels don't measure — which is why two caryophyllene-led strains can smell completely different.

Appearance

Triple Burger looks the part of a heavy indica. Toker's Guide describes Alt Sol's batch as bright green buds with purple undertones, fine orange hairs, and "a thick layer of milky, starry trichomes" — buds it compared to staring down a three-patty burger. GrowDiaries notes dense, resinous neon-green buds with golden hairs. The Clone Foundry calls the colas dense and chunky with very high trichome content, and describes the plant as suited to hash and solventless extraction. Expect tight, sticky nugs that need a grinder.

Aroma and Flavor

Open the jar and the room knows. Leafly describes "a pungent aroma of garlic, butter, and diesel"; AllBud adds cheese, chemical, earthy, herbal sage and spice. Break a bud and the savory funk gets louder — reviewers on AllBud compare it to cooked beef, garlic and onion. The clone listing calls it "savory garlic, onion, and blue cheese funk" with buttery, nutty notes and a sharp fuel finish.

The smoke follows the nose. Toker's Guide describes a creamy, almost buttery inhale with hints of blue cheese, savory meat and herbs, a slight chemical edge, and "a distinct umami profile." Leafly's top-listed flavors are butter, ammonia and chemical. If you like GMO, Garlic Breath or Donny Burger, this is the same lane, turned up.

Recreational Effects

Triple Burger is a nighttime strain. On Leafly, where it holds a 4.7-star rating across 54 reviews, the top reported effects are:

• Sleepy: the headline effect — Leafly calls it "a great strain to enjoy at night."
• Tingly: a warm, buzzy body feel that's common across the Burger line.
• Relaxed: deep physical calm; AllBud describes it as "a bit sedative at times."
• Hungry: AllBud lists hunger, and reviewers mention big munchies.
• Happy and giggly: some reviewers report a lighter, giggly mood before the body takes over.

How the high unfolds: onset, peak and duration

• First 5–10 minutes: Toker's Guide describes a slow start — "a gentle calming sensation that gradually spreads throughout the body."
• 15–45 minutes: an uplifting, mood-easing wave on top of a warm, heavy body. Some users get chatty or giggly here.
• 1–3 hours: the sedation wins. At higher doses, expect the couch and then bed.

Plan the session for after dinner, not before a to-do list.

How Strong Is Triple Burger?

Triple Burger is a high-THC strain by any standard. The published numbers:

• Leafly: 25% THC on the strain header, 23% in the description, about 2% CBG — "an ideal choice for experienced cannabis consumers."
• AllBud: 24–28% on average.
• GrowDiaries and North Coast Provisions: 26%.
• User-posted batches: an AllBud reviewer and a Missouri medical Reddit post both cite 33% batches. Those are individual claims, not averages.

The potency number tells only part of the story. Triple Burger feels heavy because of its body weight, not just its THC — and a grower's cut, harvest timing and cure can move the result more than the name. It's a strong strain, not a beginner strain.

THCA flower is labeled differently from dispensary flower: the lab reports THCA, which converts to THC when heated, plus a small amount of delta-9 THC. When you compare a Triple Burger batch against the 23–28% range above, compare total THC on the COA, not the headline number — our guide on how to read a THCA flower COA walks through the math.

Triple Burger vs Similar Strains

• vs GMO: the parent and the source of the garlic. Triple Burger keeps GMO's funk but tends to finish heavier and more sedating.
• vs Donny Burger and Han Solo Burger: the earlier Burgers. Same garlic-onion-cheese lane; Triple Burger is the most GMO-heavy of the three.
• vs Hashburger: a Double Burger cousin crossed with Han Solo Hash Plant — similar savory funk, bred with hash makers in mind.
• vs Mule Fuel: another GMO cross (GMO Cookies × Lurch). Gassier and earthier, less buttery, with the same heavy indica-leaning finish. It's the closest match on our shelf.
• vs Garlic Breath and Dark Rainbow: other GMO descendants. Dark Rainbow trades some of the garlic for candy terpenes.

Who Triple Burger Is (and Isn't) For

Good fit: experienced smokers who love savory, garlic and gas profiles; evening and nighttime sessions; anyone who wants a heavy body high and an appetite.

Poor fit: beginners, daytime use, and people who want sweet or fruity flower. If the funk is too much, Permanent Marker is a chemical-gas indica-leaner with a little more sweetness.

How to Use Triple Burger THCA Flower — and How Much

THCA has to be heated to do anything. Raw, it isn't intoxicating; heat converts it to THC (decarboxylation), which is why the method matters as much as the strain.

• Smoking (joint, pipe, bong): the fastest onset. Take one or two small hits, then wait 10–15 minutes before deciding on more.
• Dry-herb vaporizer: the best way to taste the butter and garlic instead of just the fuel. Around 350–380°F keeps the savory top notes; 390–410°F brings out the heavier, sleepier body.
• Pre-rolls: the no-prep option — see our THCA pre-rolls.
• Homemade edibles: decarb the flower first. Edibles take 30–120 minutes to kick in and last far longer, so start low and wait the full two hours.

How much? New or occasional users: one small puff, then wait 15–30 minutes — this strain sneaks up and then sits on you. Regular users usually find two or three hits is plenty for a full evening. You can always add more; you can't take it back.

Medicinal Benefits

These are uses consumers report on Leafly and AllBud, not established clinical outcomes. Individual response varies with dose, tolerance and chemotype.

• Pain: the most-cited reason on Leafly (about 23% of reviewers).
• Stress: about 21% of Leafly reviewers.
• Anxiety: about 19% report help — though "anxious" and "paranoid" are also on its list of negatives, so dose matters.
• Sleep: Leafly and North Coast Provisions both note people reach for it for insomnia.
• Appetite: AllBud lists appetite loss and nausea among reported uses.

If you take prescription medication or have a health condition, talk to your doctor before using any cannabis product.

Side Effects and Cautions

• Dry eyes and dry mouth — the most common complaints; GrowDiaries also lists dizziness.
• Paranoia or anxiety — Leafly's top negatives, usually at higher doses or with low tolerance.
• Heavy sedation — great at bedtime, a problem at 2 p.m.

Don't drive after using it, and talk to your doctor first if you take prescription medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have a heart condition.

Is Triple Burger Top Shelf? How to Judge a Good Bag

• The nose should hit immediately. Garlic, butter and fuel on opening the jar. Faint or grassy means old or rushed.
• A current third-party COA naming the lab, with THCA, delta-9 and total THC. Treat 33%+ claims without paperwork as marketing. Ours are on the lab results page.
• Heavy frost. This line is bred for resin; trichomes should coat the bud, not just the tips.
• Dense, sticky structure — airy, fluffy Triple Burger is a red flag.
• Ask where the cut came from. Skunk House is the breeder; clone and seed versions vary.

Growing Triple Burger

Triple Burger is a stout, resin-heavy indoor or outdoor plant. Seeds are rare — SeedFinder says it has never been released as feminized seeds — so most growers start from clones.

• Flowering: 8–9 weeks per SeedFinder's description and The Clone Foundry; GrowDiaries lists 63–70 days.
• Yield: moderate to high, with very high trichome output (The Clone Foundry).
• Height and structure: medium, stout and bushy with low-to-moderate stretch — a good fit for SCROG and small spaces.
• Training: heavy defoliation improves light penetration into the dense colas.
• Smell: GrowDiaries flags serious odor control — carbon filters aren't optional.

Is Triple Burger THCA Flower Legal?

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp is federally legal when it contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis — see the USDA hemp program. THCA flower is sold under that rule. State laws differ and are changing, so check your state before you order. And whatever the label says, THCA flower will show up on a drug test — heated, it is THC.
