8" Bagel
Also known as: 8 Inch Bagel, 8th Bagel, 8 Bagel
Overview
8" Bagel is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through a genetic cross between GMO and Project 4516. The strain was originally developed by LIT Farms in collaboration with Grandiflora Genetics, though it has also been cultivated by Cresco Labs and distributed under their Floracal premium label. The strain gets its distinctive name from its dense, round buds that visually resemble a well-sized bagel, combined with its unique flavor profile that users describe as reminiscent of a doughy, nutty bagel topped with herbal cream cheese.
This potent indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica, 30% sativa) has gained significant popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. The strain features dense, frosty buds with vibrant emerald-green coloration, bright purple undertones, and abundant orange pistils, all covered in a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The plant typically remains compact, growing 0-4 feet tall whether cultivated indoors or outdoors. With its robust genetics inherited from both parent strains, 8" Bagel offers users a harmonious blend of mental clarity and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal applications.

8" Bagel is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The flowering time ranges from 60-65 days (approximately 7-9 weeks). Plants remain compact, typically reaching 0-4 feet in height whether grown indoors or outdoors. Indoor yields range from 16-21 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 21 ounces per plant when harvested in late September. The strain thrives in temperate climates and shows natural resistance to pests and mold.

The plant produces dense, trichome-heavy buds that develop their characteristic bagel-like appearance during maturation.
