Apple Tart
Also known as: Apple Tartz
Apple Tart Strain Overview
Apple Tart is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular dessert-themed varieties: Apple Fritter and Runtz. This strain emerged in the early 2020s as part of the ongoing trend of creating flavorful, aromatic cultivars with complex terpene profiles. Breeders sought to combine the sweet apple notes of Apple Fritter with the candy-like sweetness of Runtz, resulting in a strain that has gained popularity in both recreational and medical cannabis markets for its distinctive flavor and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The nugs are usually compact and resinous, breaking apart to reveal complex aromatic notes. Apple Tart has gained recognition for its consistency when grown under proper conditions, though some phenotypic variation can occur depending on cultivation methods and environmental factors.
Notable features include its pronounced sweet and fruity aroma that often carries subtle earthy undertones. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant flavor profile, which many users describe as reminiscent of baked apple desserts with a tart finish. Apple Tart has become particularly popular among consumers who prioritize flavor experience alongside moderate psychoactive effects, though comprehensive laboratory testing data remains somewhat limited due to its relatively recent introduction to the cannabis market.

Apple Tart Strain Growing Information
Apple Tart is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce slightly larger harvests in suitable climates. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers controlled indoor conditions for consistency. Plants typically reach a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize light penetration and improve yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support bud development.
