Apricot Jelly
Apricot Jelly
Also known as: AJL
Overview
Apricot Jelly is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by In House Genetics through crossing Irene Apricot and Jelly Breath (Bx1). This strain emerged during the late 2010s as part of the modern dessert-forward cannabis breeding movement, combining stone-fruit aromatics with contemporary resin density. The strain maintains a 70% sativa and 30% indica composition, resulting in an energizing yet balanced experience that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. The buds typically display dense, conical flowers with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, featuring yellow-green tones with abundant crystalline trichomes that signal its potency. Apricot Jelly has established itself as a cult favorite in cannabis communities, particularly valued for its unique sensory profile that delivers both gourmet flavor and therapeutic benefits. The strain represents the successful fusion of fruit-forward terpene profiles with modern cannabis genetics, making it a standout cultivar in the competitive hybrid market.

Growing Information
Apricot Jelly is considered moderately easy to cultivate and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with phenotype variations affecting timing - the Legend Orange Apricot-leaning phenotype typically finishes in 56-63 days, while the Jelly Breath phenotype takes 60-70 days. Indoor yields average 450-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor cultivation can produce significantly higher yields. Plants reach heights of 5-8 feet and prefer temperatures between 70-80°F during the day with slight nighttime drops. Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during flowering to preserve terpenes and prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like LST and defoliation, which can increase yields by 20-25%. It thrives in well-draining soil with pH 6.0-6.5 and benefits from high-intensity lighting indoors. Multiple phenotypes exist, including an 'apricot soda' variant that grows lankier and a 'jelly cookie' phenotype that's more compact and purple-prone.
