'87 Firebird
'87 Firebird
Also known as: 87 Firebird
Overview
'87 Firebird is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Bred By Woses in collaboration with TheGanj86 (Top Shelf Terps/White Whale Genetics). This contemporary strain is a cross between Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato and '87 Limepop, resulting in a carefully balanced 50/50 genetic split of indica and sativa traits. The breeding process involved rigorous testing over 10 successive breeding cycles to ensure stability and quality, with statistical analyses revealing cannabinoid content consistency within a variance of less than 5% across different phenotypic expressions.
The strain exhibits striking visual appeal with dense buds reaching 80% compactness, displaying deep green hues intertwined with purple undertones and silver/pink accents inherited from the Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato parent. The buds are adorned with a generous dusting of frosty trichomes, reaching concentrations of 25-30% of the bud's surface area. Most phenotypes express skunky lime terpenes from the '87 Limepop lineage while maintaining pure lemon characteristics and the distinctive colorization from the Gelato parent.
Currently, '87 Firebird exists as a regular-only variety that is still being worked on and crossed with other strains, making it a boutique option primarily available through select breeding circles rather than commercial seed sales. The strain has gained recognition for contributing to the growing artisanal cannabis market, representing innovation in boutique breeding practices.

Growing Information
Moderate difficulty cultivation suitable for growers of all experience levels. Indoor flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) with generous yields reaching up to 500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Plants exhibit medium to heavy stretch during flower and benefit from low-stress training (LST) techniques to maximize light penetration and airflow. Regular pruning is recommended due to moderate stretching in early flowering. Requires balanced nutrient schedule with equal mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Optimal indoor temperatures of 20-27°C (68-81°F) with 40-50% humidity during flowering phase. LED lighting with blue and red wavelengths recommended. Outdoor cultivation possible in temperate climates, with dry summers producing up to 30% increased trichome density. Available as regular seeds only, not feminized.
