Rank Berry – Funked-Up Fruit from Hoku Seed Co

Rank Berry is one of those cultivars that hits all the right notes for funk-chasers, hashmakers, and outdoor growers looking for something loud, aggressive, and fruit-forward. Bred by Hoku Seed Co, this hybrid crosses Mustard Berry with Dirty Taxi, producing a terpene-rich, heavy-washed cultivar that brings offensive funk wrapped in sweet, fermented berry and chem notes.

We grow and work with Rank Berry for exactly those reasons — it’s loud, stable, and rooted in resin.

Rank Berry Lineage: Mustard Berry × Dirty Taxi

The pedigree behind Rank Berry is anything but subtle.

• Mustard Berry is known for its tangy fermented fruit notes — funky, sharp, and unique in flavor.

• Dirty Taxi, on the other hand, brings that heavy chem-fuel backend and adds structure, yield, and density.

The result is a hybrid that leans into the ranker side of fruit, with profiles ranging from rotten raspberries and sour gas to old lemons and motor oil. If you're a fan of cultivars that toe the line between offensive and addictive, Rank Berry is worth a run.

Terpenes, Aroma & Flavor

Rank Berry lives up to its name. It’s not sweet candy — it’s overripe fruit in the back of a hot car, layered with fuel, sour grape candy, and a punch of earth and rubber.

The dominant terpenes lean toward:

• Myrcene – herbal funk and sedative effects

• Limonene – citrus zip under the stink

• Caryophyllene – brings weight and diesel undertones

The flavor carries through well in flower and washes extremely well for solventless extraction. The resin glands are greasy, dense, and built for the bag, whether fresh-frozen or dried.

Grow Notes & Cultivation Traits

Rank Berry is a vigorous, outdoor-ready hybrid that shows structure and stability across phenos. Most cuts stack well, finish with tight internodes, and show excellent mold resistance, even in humidity-prone regions.

What we like about it in our garden:

• Easy to grow with minimal intervention

• Early resin production and strong lateral branching

• Unique smells from veg through late flower

• Wash yield and quality is consistently high

Phenos can lean more toward either parent, but most will carry that sour funk backbone with either a fruity or chem-dominant nose on top.

Why We Work With Rank Berry

At Blackwater Gardens, we select for vigorous, expressive cultivars that thrive in real-world conditions and translate well to seed, flower, and concentrate markets. Rank Berry checks all three boxes. It brings something undeniably loud, but also structurally sound — a rare combo in the modern gene pool.

Whether you’re looking to run it for hash, cross it into a breeding project, or just fill jars with something truly unique, Rank Berry deserves a spot in your lineup.
