A striking name at the meeting point of three familiar lines. Explore the Permanent Marker story through the people behind its selection, its descriptive character and a dated moment of recognition.
Behind the name
Doja Exclusive names Biscotti, Jealousy and Sherb Bx1 in its Permanent Marker profile. Its heading presents those three names together rather than spelling out a fully bracketed sequence of crosses.
This page preserves that level of detail. A list of ancestral names and an ordered pedigree are not quite the same thing: the latter also explains how the relationships are arranged. Retaining the source’s form avoids introducing an order it has not explicitly supplied.
Doja’s profile identifies Permanent Marker as a selection by Doja Exclusive. Leafly’s reporting includes first-hand comments from Seed Junky’s breeders and describes their involvement in its development.
Those credits can coexist. A breeder account describes the development work, while a selection account identifies the particular expression chosen. Keeping both names with their roles gives the story more context than attaching every contribution to one brand.
Doja describes a sweet, candy-like character with earthy and diesel associations, adding berry and mint-like notes in its account. The contrasting vocabulary helps explain why the name feels so distinctive.
These are sensory comparisons, not statements that ink or fuel was added to the plant. The name is also not a chemical test: whether a particular sample contains any substance must be established from evidence about that sample, not from a metaphor.
In its December 2023 announcement, Leafly named Permanent Marker its Strain of the Year. The article also describes the variety’s rapid spread across the menus it tracked.
This is a dated editorial recognition from an identified organisation. Keeping the year and awarding publication together makes the claim precise, rather than suggesting a universal ranking or a guarantee about an individual product.
A strain photograph is most useful when the caption records the full name and its contributor. Where the image represents a particular producer’s selection, retain that context too.
The same discipline applies to written descriptions: an account of one selection can illustrate the name without claiming that every plant presented under it is identical. Here the source links let readers follow the selection story and the award announcement separately.
Permanent Marker FAQ
Its profile names Biscotti, Jealousy and Sherb Bx1. This page retains that wording without imposing a more detailed crossing order.
The sources describe different contributions: Doja’s selection account and Seed Junky’s development work, discussed in Leafly’s reporting.
Leafly selected it as its Strain of the Year for 2023. That is the specific recognition cited here.
No. A strain name is not an ingredient list or a chemical analysis. It cannot establish the composition of a sample.
No. The award is a historical recognition. An individual product or specimen still needs its own identity and supporting information.
