Captain Crunch
Also known as: Captain Krunch, Crunch Berry, Crunch Berries, Crunch Berry Kush
Overview
Captain Crunch is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix, a High Times award-winning breeding team from Washington. The genetic lineage remains somewhat mysterious, with most sources indicating it's a cross between OG Kush and Kushberry, though some also mention Triple OG x Blueberry combinations. The strain maintains a 70:30 indica/sativa ratio with moderate potency typically ranging from 10-15% THC, though some phenotypes can reach up to 27%. The buds are visually striking, featuring large, dark green nugs densely coated with frosty trichomes and adorned with fine orange hairs that create a crystalline appearance. The strain earned its name from its distinctive cereal-like aroma that remarkably resembles Captain Crunch cereal, accompanied by sweet berry notes and pine undertones. This unique aromatic profile, combined with its therapeutic potential for chronic pain relief, has made it a popular choice within the cannabis community.

Growing Information
Captain Crunch is considered a challenging strain to grow, producing medium-tall plants that benefit from regular pruning and training techniques during flowering phases. The flowering cycle takes just under 60 days (8-10 weeks) with high yields in the range of 450g/m² indoors. Growers should employ methods such as SCROGs, SOGs, or topping to manage the plant's ample height and bushy branching. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in early October, though the strain flourishes better in controlled indoor environments. The strain thrives in sunny and warm climates, with optimal indoor temperatures between 68-77°F (20-25°C) and relative humidity levels around 40-50% during vegetative stage, adjusting to 50-60% during flowering.
