Bompton Berry
Also known as: Bompton Berries
Overview
Bompton Berry (also known as Bompton Berries) is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant recognition for its distinctive berry-forward flavor profile and potent effects. Named after the slang term for Compton, a city in Los Angeles, this strain reflects urban influences combined with sophisticated breeding techniques. Created through a genetic cross between Blueberry and Bomb #1, though alternative lineages include Girl Scout Cookies x Cherry Pie, indicating multiple phenotypes exist under this name. The strain has become particularly noteworthy for its high 30-31% average THC level and has been cultivated by various breeders including Masonic Seeds.
Visually, Bompton Berry buds have dense, triangle-shaped forest green nugs with deep purple undertones, lots of thin orange hairs and tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain's appearance is enhanced by its thick, sticky layer of white trichomes, giving them a sugary, frosted appearance, which serves as a visual indicator of the strain's impressive potency. The color palette displays deep greens intertwined with royal purples, making it visually striking. The dominant terpene profile includes myrcene along with myrcene for earthy, musky aroma and sedative effects, limonene adding citrus notes, and caryophyllene providing spicy undertones. This combination creates the strain's signature burst of fresh berries—think of a mix of ripe blueberries and just-picked raspberries.

Growing Information
Bompton Berry exhibits typical indica growth patterns, appearing short, stocky, and very bushy. The strain requires a controlled environment with careful attention to temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions. With a flowering time of approximately 70-80 days (±75 days), it produces medium yields and grows to medium height. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Due to its dense foliage, Low-Stress Training (LST) is recommended to create an even canopy and improve light penetration to lower branches. This challenging strain requires specific cultivation needs and is somewhat difficult to grow, making it more suitable for experienced cultivators.
