Appaloosa Sky
Appaloosa Sky
Overview
Appaloosa Sky is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (80% sativa/20% indica) created through crossing Cinex and LA Cherry Haze. This strain was developed by Kick Boot Seeds, an Oregon-based breeding company in the northern Willamette Valley. The name reflects the strain's characteristic of reaching impressive heights, literally reaching 'for the sky' with exceptional bud density upon finishing. The strain exhibits sativa leaf dominance and maintains the uplifting, energetic characteristics typical of its genetic lineage.
Physically, Appaloosa Sky produces small to medium-sized, airy rounded buds that display bright neon green coloration with thin orange hairs throughout. The flowers are coated with a generous layer of frosty, clear crystal trichomes that give the buds a sparkling appearance. The strain's aroma profile is notably diverse, ranging from earthy skunk to distinctive grape Kool-Aid-like scents, creating a unique olfactory experience that sets it apart from other sativa-dominant varieties. This aromatic complexity contributes to its appeal among cannabis connoisseurs seeking distinctive flavor profiles.

Growing Information
Appaloosa Sky is moderately difficult to grow and requires attention to support structures due to its impressive height potential. Indoor flowering time ranges from 53-60 days (7.5-8.5 weeks), while outdoor harvests typically occur by the end of September in Oregon's latitude (45°N). The strain shows excellent mold resistance when grown outdoors with minimal issues even in late-season conditions. Indoor cultivation requires bending and training techniques due to the plant's natural tendency to stretch significantly. Outdoor support systems are strongly recommended to handle the weight of dense flower production. The strain exhibits vigorous growth and can reach considerable heights, making it more suitable for experienced growers who can manage tall plants and provide adequate structural support.
