Appalachia
What is the Appalachia strain?
Appalachia is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 21.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Appalachia is a hybrid cannabis strain developed in Colorado by High and Lonesome Seeds, created as a cross between the notorious Green Crack and the Afghani-descended Tres Dawg strains. This strain is notable among the cannabis community for its much sought-after effects that are sativa-heavy in nature despite its indica dominance in genetics. This sativa-dominant hybrid is known for its sweet, funky scent and well-balanced effects, and has been used by world-famous breeders such as Bodhi Seeds to create a vast array of potent and flavorful hybrids.
Flowers of Appalachia impress with their large size and elongated shape, having more of a sativa structure with fluffy, somewhat ragged-looking leaves that can be easily torn from their central stems. The leaves are a dull, muted shade of green and are threaded through with vibrant orange pistils. Translucent white trichomes coat the inner and outer surfaces of the flowers, making Appalachia a very difficult strain to break up without the use of a grinder. Appalachia's psychoactivity has been measured at between 16% and 21% THC. When properly cured, flowers of Appalachia have the striking scent of overripe fruit with simultaneously sweet and skunky aroma with notes of citrus reminiscent of parent strain Green Crack. On closer inspection, the flowers have a mellow, piney odor as well, and breaking up or grinding the buds yields some hashy, incense-like notes. When burnt, this strain gives off a surprisingly smooth smoke that tastes skunky and faintly herbal on the exhale.

How do you grow Appalachia?
No commercial-scale breeders have made seeds of Appalachia available for sale online. As such, prospective growers will need to obtain clippings from mature, healthy plants of the strain in order to grow genetically identical clones. Although there is limited information available on best practices for growing this strain, parent strain Green Crack can grow very tall and spindly, especially during the flowering period. This height can be managed in limited indoor spaces by trimming and pruning branches early on in the vegetative stage. Appalachia features a flowering time of 56-70 days. Growers should preserve Appalachia's unique flavor through a two-stage curing process: first hanging freshly-trimmed buds upside-down for a week in 70-degree surroundings with consistent 50% humidity, then sealing in airtight containers and storing in slightly more moist conditions of 60-65% humidity while regularly checking for mold or mildew.
