Juicy Fruit, also known as Fruity Juice, is a sativa-leaning cross between a pure Afghani indica and pure Thai sativa bred by the Amsterdam-based geneticist Sensi Seeds. The original breeders claim it took a long time to create Juicy Fruit, as they made multiple attempts to strike the perfect balance between its two purebred parents, adding that the early Thai and Afghani fusions were often extremely difficult to work with. However, once Sensi Seeds conjured up the ideal Juicy Fruit strain, it quickly became a fan-favorite among cannabis lovers looking for a sweet and well-balanced strain. Juicy Fruit is said to produce a sugary aroma and flavor that fuses tropical-scented flowers with the famous chewing gum it’s named after.

Cali Kush

hybrid

Cali Kush by Sensible Seeds Sumo Seeds may have been the originator of Cali Kush, or California Kush, but since it has been discontinued, the breeder Sensible Seeds seems to have taken up the task of crossing Purps with L.A. Confidential to make this indica-leaning strain.The breeder claims that its Cali Kush has a fruity citrus aroma with coffee undertones, along with moderate 13% to 15% THC levels and high (though undisclosed) levels of CBD. Cali Kush from Sensible Seeds is said to be easy for beginners to grow, producing solid yields of light green and blue-hued colas that are covered in trichomes during an eight-to-nine-week flowering cycle. When grown indoors, Cali Kush can grow up to 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, in height, producing between 425 to 475 grams of flower per square meter. Outdoors, Cali Kush can reach up to 1.2 meters, or 4 feet, yielding up to 250 grams, or 8.8 ounces, per plant when harvested in early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Cali Kush by Anesia Seeds The Spanish breeder Anesia Seeds has their own version of California Kush or Cali Kush, which is a cross between Strawberry Kush with OG Kush. Anesia’s indica-dominant Cali Kush has a flavor and aroma of tropical fruits, along with an average THC level of 24% and 2.8% CBD, according to the breeder. Growing short and compact during the vegetative phase, this specific Cali Kush is said to be a heavy resin producer, sprouting bright, trichome-covered buds in a seven-to-eight-week flowering cycle. The cultivar is easy to grow and does best indoors with Sea of Green (SOG) though it can be grown outside in warm climates. Cali Kush by 00 Seeds Another Spanish breeder named 00 Seeds developed its version of Cali Kush, or California Kush, to bring a little of California’s famed Emerald Triangle to the rest of the world, or at least to European cannabis consumers. The particular Cali Kush is a cross of an unknown Californian indica and an unknown Hindu Kush, creating an indica-leaning strain that has a sweet and spicy aroma. The breeder says its Cali Kush’s indica nature keeps the plants fairly small but they are easy to grow indoors or outside in a warm, dry climate. These small plants produce one large central bud with glistening trichomes and orange stigma hairs during a 55-to-60-day flowering cycle. Growers should expect plants to grow between 90 to 120 centimeters, or 3 to 4 feet, high when cultivated indoors, yielding 450-to-550 grams per square inch. Outdoor grown Cali Kush could reach up to 250 centimeters tall, and if cultivated in the Northern Hemisphere, should be harvested in mid-October. If grown outdoors in the Southern Hemisphere, growers should plan to harvest Cali Kush in mid-April.

Cat Piss

hybrid

Cat Piss is a strain with various sources of origin. Below are several anecdotes about the strain's inception. Origin #1 The clone-only version of Cat Piss was derived from a select phenotype of Super Silver Haze. Her flowers are rock-hard and shaped like a small pine cone with a glowing neon-green hue. Cat Piss has shades of dark green and lavender that will remind you of a tropical jungle. Her flowers are littered with long, deep, amber-colored hairs with a thick resin coating. When cultivated indoors, Cat Piss typically completes a flowering cycle within 65 days of the 12/12 light cycle switch. As a Sativa-dominant clone, this strain responds well to low-stress training (LST). When grown in a Screen of Green (SCROG) environment, cultivators will witness an increase in vegetation and ultimately higher yields. Cat Piss thrives in both indoor and outdoor grow environments and is known to produce moderate yields when left untrained. The flavors are spiced with an ammonia nose, and the effect works well at managing stress and depression. Note: In cannabis folklore, Cat Piss has two other origin stories. SoCal Cat Piss was derived from the famed TrainWreck strain, while NorCal Cat Piss is thought to be related to an Afghani landrace. Origin #2 SoCal Cat Piss (Catpiss) is a Sativa-dominant clone-only strain that was purportedly derived from the Trainwreck strain. This version of Cat Piss has an Indica plant structure and growth pattern that produces a shorter plant with a skunky essence. SoCal Cat Piss is known for its abundant yields and its medicinal effects. Origin #3 NorCal Cat Piss is an Indica-leaning clone only strain that was tracked down and saved by Shabud, a well-known member of the online forum community Overgrow.com. As the story goes, Norcal Cat Piss inspired Shabud’s early growing career and he spent the next 15 years looking for the strain. The flavor of NorCal Catpiss is pungent and earthy and works well for evening use. While Cat Piss typically displays Sativa phenotypes, NorCal Catpiss leans on its Indica genetics and has been utilized to create several hybrids.
