All Hybrid

Unknown in its lineage, Chrome Cake is thought to be a complex cross between Cookies, Pre-98 Bubba Kush, OG Kush Breath, and a fourth unidentified strain. Chrome Cake’s most frequently mentioned aromas are flowers, pine, and honeysuckle. Basil, cake batter, and pine are said to taste like it.

Mendo Kush, also known as Mendocino Kush, is a cross between Mendocino Purps and Purple Kush produced by Guru Seeds. It is named after both its parents and Mendocino County in California’s Emerald Triangle, which is the US region that produces the most cannabis overall. Earth, berries, and citrus are the most frequently mentioned aromas of the Mendo Kush variety. It is said to have a taste of caramel, vanilla, and berries. One of High Times’ Top Ten Strains in 2007 was Mendo Kush. An indica-dominant hybrid named Mendo Kush produces plants that are shorter than usual. Although it is moderately difficult to grow, Sea of Green (Sea of Green) works well indoors where it does well. Mendo Kush produces average yields or resinous buds after flowering for 70 to 77 days. Mendo Kush seeds are offered.

Super Lemon Haze and Exodus Cheese were crossed to create the Sativa-dominant hybrid known as Lemon Cheese, also known as Franco’s Lemon Cheese, from Amsterdam’s Green House Seed Company. The strain bears the name Franco Loja, a seed company breeder who passed away in 2017, according to Green House. His final breeding choice, Lemon Cheese, was a hybrid of his two favorite plants. The seed bank claims that users will experience a strong cheesy taste and a strong lemon aroma. Additionally, the strain is said to produce a potent, energizing, and socially stimulating high that may reduce pain and increase appetite. The strain tested positive for 21.58% THC, 0.6% CBD, and 0.19% CBN at Green House. The flowering period for this medium-sized plant with long, wide branches ranges from 63 to 77 days. Green House advises using the Screen of Green (ScrOG) and Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques when growing plants indoors. In the Northern Hemisphere, outdoor growing seasons end in early November; in the Southern Hemisphere, they end in early May. Equatorial, tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates are the best for the plant’s growth. The plant’s height will require additional support, which growers should give. Green House Seed Company currently sells feminized seeds.

Some claim that the origins of this strain are unknown, but breeder Puffin Farm claims that it is a cross between Big Bud, Skunk #1, and Korean genetics. Everyone seems to agree that Big Skunk Korean has big, purple buds and is difficult to find, but it’s worth it. According to Puffin, it has a strong floral, skunky scent and a bitter, woody taste. The breeder reports positive, harmonious results. According to online sources, Big Skunk Korean thrives in a controlled environment indoors. Pruning and the Sea of Green (SOG) technique are effective ways to control a dense grow, and hydroponic growth mediums can boost yields. The Northern Hemisphere’s Big Skunk Korean takes a while to flower—up to 15 weeks indoors and mid- to late October outdoors—but the yields that are produced can be quite substantial.

818 OG was developed by unidentified breeders as a variation of OG Kush. Its name is a reference to the San Fernando Valley area code of California, where it was first used. Pine, lemon, and diesel are the most frequently mentioned aromas of the 818 OG strain. It is rumored to have a sweet citrus and pine flavor. An indica-dominant hybrid known as 818 OG gives rise to short, squat plants with dense, bushy foliage. To promote proper airflow and light penetration to lower branches, growers may need to prune 818 OG on a regular basis. The strain prefers warmer temperatures and slightly dryer air conditions, and it can grow both indoors and outdoors. In 49 to 63 days indoors and in early October outdoors, 818 OG flowers will bloom. There are only seeds available for 818 OG. Clones might be purchased directly from growers of this strain.

The rare phenotype Wedding Cake, also referred to as Pink Cookies, was produced by Seed Junky Genetics through the mating of a mother Triangle Kush with Animal Mints pollen. The L.A. Based on its sparkling resin and vanilla cake frosting aroma, Wedding Cake was given that name by the Jungle Boys. Among the many accolades it has received since its inception, Wedding Cake won first place for Best Hybrid Flower at the 2018 SoCal High Times Medical Cannabis Cup. Wedding Cake usually blooms after nine weeks. The plant’s fluffy buds are colored pink and purple, and it consistently yields a lot of resin.

The Pineapple Express cultivar, according to actor and comedian Seth Rogen, didn’t exist before the 2008 film of the same name popularized the name. Growers took it upon themselves to produce a potent cultivar that was dubbed “the dopest dope” in the movie after being inspired by the movie. Using Trainwreck and Hawaiian as its parent genetics, G13 Labs claims to have created the strain in the middle of the 2000s. The hybrid quickly became popular among California’s medical marijuana dispensaries. However, the “true” Pineapple Express was the goal of 11 seed banks and numerous growers. As a result, the market today offers a variety of options. The majority of Pineapple Express cultivars are coveted cultivars known for their fluffy, lean flowers that shine with a lime and yellow coloring, despite the hazy marketing and variable reported effects. Because of the tropical, citrus aroma that emanates from its typically higher limonene content, customers choose Pineapple Express. Growing Pineapple Express indoors is simple, and between 55 and 65 days, growers can anticipate a high yield.

Due to its sweet aroma, gelato is a cross between Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. Gelato (#33), also known as Larry Bird, was first grown in Northern California’s Bay Area and comes from a large genetic pool that was assembled by the Cookie Family, the Sherbinskis Family, and grower Mario Guzman. After its creation, the cultivators split up, and it is uncertain which cultivator has the most “stable version” of Gelato genetics. A few phenotypes and offspring of the strain Gelato #42, Dolce Gelato, and a sun-grown Gelato are grown by Cookies. Gelato #41 (Bacio Gelato), Gelato #43 (Gello Gelato), Gelato #47 (Mochi Gelato), and Gelato #49 (Acai Berry Gelato) are four stabilized Gelato phenotypes that Sherbinskis also cultivates. The #33 phenotype is no longer being grown, according to Sherbinskis. The strain is regarded as being difficult to grow, and each phenotype expresses various growth traits. It grows reasonably short plants with dark, magenta buds indoors that usually reach maturity 8 to 9 weeks after beginning the 12/12 flowering cycle. By mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere and mid-March in the Southern Hemisphere, outdoor growers can anticipate Gelato to be mature. Potential growers must locate certified Gelato clones from Cookies to propagate it because its seeds aren’t offered for sale. At the moment, Sherbinksis doesn’t offer seeds or clones of its Gelato phenotypes for sale.

Cotton Candy Kush and Space Queen were crossed to create Space Candy by renowned breeder Subcool. Space Candy, so named for both its ancestry and its bouquet, has a sweet, fruity, citrus flavor and a floral, fruity aroma. Space Candy spreads readily both inside and outside, but as its short, bushy branches fill with buds later in the flowering cycle, it needs physical support. With average yields, it grows to medium heights and blooms in about eight weeks. Buds are covered in a thick, resinous layer of trichomes and are dark green with hints of red and purple.

Golden Pineapple is a cross between Pineapple Kush (Pineapple x Master Kush) and Golden Goat, a male Hawaiian-Romulan pollinated with a Skunk mother; the identity of its original breeder is unknown. Golden Pineapple was given that name due to both its pineapple and citrus parentage and vibrant aroma. Golden Pineapple won Best Sativa at the 2017 Oregon Northwest Cannabis Cup thanks to its flavor and aroma. The short, bushy plants that the Golden Pineapple strain produces thrive both indoors and outdoors. This cultivar will reach full maturity when grown indoors within eight to nine weeks of starting the flowering photoperiod. Early October in the Northern Hemisphere is when outdoor growers in more temperate climates can enjoy the high yielding Golden Pineapple and benefit from its high mold and disease resistance.
