Apple Phaze
Also known as: Apple Phase
Apple Phaze Strain Overview
Apple Phaze is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Apple Fritter with an undisclosed parent strain, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from the popular Runtz family. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the dessert-themed cannabis trend, gaining popularity in California before spreading to other legal markets. Breeders aimed to combine the sweet, fruity characteristics of Apple Fritter with enhanced potency and balanced effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds typically have a tight, indica-dominant structure with occasional foxtailing. Apple Phaze's most distinctive feature is its pronounced aroma profile that combines sweet apple and berry notes with earthy undertones and a subtle diesel finish.
Cultivation information suggests Apple Phaze is moderately difficult to grow, requiring attention to humidity control to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in several cannabis publications for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Apple Phaze has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex terpene profile and reliable effects.

Apple Phaze Strain Growing Information
Apple Phaze is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and finishes in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Apple Phaze plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds, implementing good airflow, and using training techniques like topping or LST to maximize light penetration. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a 1-2 week flush before harvest.
