Juicy Fruit

Juicy Fruit, also known as Fruity Juice, is a hybrid strain with a 55% Cannabis sativa and 45% Cannabis indica composition. Boasting a THC level of 18%-20% and minimal CBD at 0.38%, this well-balanced cultivar delivers energetic effects suitable for stress management, inflammation, anxiety, and depression.

A crossbreed of pure Afghani indica and Thai sativa, both iconic landrace strains, Juicy Fruit originates from strong genetic foundations. Unlike crossbred strains, landrace strains are either 100% sativa or 100% indica, reflecting their geographical origins in equatorial countries for sativa and Central Asia for indica.

Developed by Sensi Seeds, this medical cannabis strain gets its name from its delightful flavor profile, featuring strong tropical and sugary sweet notes with a hint of sourness. Popular among cannabis users, especially beginners, it's sometimes marketed as Fruity Juicy to avoid potential copyright issues with Wrigley's Juicy Fruit.

Medical Applications

The Juicy Fruit strain has various medicinal and therapeutic applications, so it can be used to treat several conditions

 
Dosing

The appropriate THC dosage varies individually, influenced by factors such as one's unique endocannabinoid system, method of consumption (edibles or inhaling smoke), and specific desired effects like pain relief, sleep, relaxation, socializing, euphoria, and more.

Growing

Juicy Fruit stretches tall and thin towards the sky like a typical sativa but flowers in just 50 to 60 days like an indica. However, it remarkably flowers in a short span of 50 to 60 days, resembling the efficiency of an indica. As your Juicy Fruit matures, anticipate it transforming into a robust plant with large leaves and thick stems.

For indoor growers, adopting the "sea of green" method is an option to amplify yield. This strategy involves shortening the plant's growth phase, resulting in a greater number of smaller plants cultivated for a shorter duration, maximizing the overall yield. The term "sea of green" originates from the sight of spacious grow rooms densely packed with vibrant green cannabis plants

Height

Under optimal conditions, your Juicy Fruit plant has the potential to reach an impressive height of up to 9 feet or 3 meters.

Humidity and Temperature

For successful outdoor cultivation of Juicy Fruit, it thrives in a hot, dry, and sunny environment akin to the Mediterranean climate, with an average temperature around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. To cultivate Juicy Fruit indoors, replicating this climate will be essential for optimal growth.

Flowering

Indoor cultivation of Juicy Fruit plants typically leads to flowering within a timeframe of 50 to 60 days. For outdoor cultivation, expect the plants to be ready for harvest from late September to early October.

FAQ’s
