Caribbean Strawberry
Also known as: Caribbean Strawberry Haze
Caribbean Strawberry Strain Overview
Caribbean Strawberry is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines tropical genetics with classic Haze lineage. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it appears to have been developed by crossing a Caribbean landrace sativa with Strawberry Cough, then further refined with Haze genetics. This combination creates a strain that captures the energetic, cerebral qualities of tropical sativas while incorporating the sweet berry flavors and balanced effects of its Strawberry parentage. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s among connoisseurs seeking a daytime strain with distinctive flavor and clear-headed effects.
The plant typically displays characteristics common to sativa-dominant hybrids, with elongated, slender leaves and a somewhat lanky growth structure. The buds are medium to large in size, often taking on a conical shape with moderate density. Visually, Caribbean Strawberry is notable for its vibrant coloration - the flowers typically display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The nugs are usually well-formed with a slightly fluffy structure rather than being rock-hard.
Caribbean Strawberry is particularly distinguished by its complex aromatic profile that combines tropical fruit notes with classic Haze characteristics. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant scent profile, which features sweet strawberry and tropical fruit aromas layered over earthy, spicy undertones from its Haze heritage. When properly cured, the buds emit a fragrance that is both sweet and pungent, with the strawberry notes becoming more pronounced upon grinding or breaking apart the flowers. This strain is considered moderately potent with effects that are typically described as uplifting and energizing rather than sedating.

Caribbean Strawberry Strain Growing Information
Caribbean Strawberry is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late October in northern hemisphere climates. This sativa-dominant hybrid tends to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate to high, typically producing 400-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a warm, semi-humid climate similar to its Caribbean heritage and does well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor growers should provide ample vertical space to accommodate the stretch and may need to employ training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and maximize yields. Outdoor cultivation is successful in Mediterranean or similar climates with long growing seasons. Caribbean Strawberry responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from proper air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in denser colas. The plants are moderately resistant to pests and diseases but can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.
