Applatto
Also known as: Applatto OG
Applatto Strain Overview
Applatto is an indica-dominant cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive physical characteristics. The strain's name derives from the Italian word 'appiattito,' meaning 'flattened' or 'squashed,' which accurately describes the appearance of its dense, compact buds. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure, Applatto is believed to have emerged from selective breeding programs in California during the early 2010s, combining classic indica genetics with modern cultivation techniques to enhance its resin production and terpene profile.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, bushy plants with dark green foliage and a generous coating of trichomes that give the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The flowers are notably dense and flattened, as the name suggests, with orange pistils weaving through the tight calyx structure. Applatto's aroma profile is complex, featuring a blend of earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice, which becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart or ground.
Applatto has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its strong physical effects and relatively fast onset. The strain is particularly noted for its resinous buds, which make it a favorite among concentrate producers and extract artists. While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, Applatto has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate traditional indica characteristics with modern potency levels.

Applatto Strain Growing Information
Applatto is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors. Applatto responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for the heavy colas as they mature. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and benefit from a gradual transition to bloom nutrients.
