Citric Cataclysm
Citric Cataclysm Strain Overview
Citric Cataclysm is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity among connoisseurs for its exceptionally potent citrus profile and balanced effects. The strain was developed through selective breeding to amplify terpene expression while maintaining a manageable growth structure. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, it appears to have been cultivated by boutique breeders focusing on flavor-forward genetics, with its name reflecting the overwhelming citrus aroma that characterizes the cultivar.
The plant produces medium-sized, dense buds that are typically lime green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against the light green foliage. The most distinctive feature of Citric Cataclysm is its aromatic profile, which delivers an intense burst of citrus reminiscent of lemon, lime, and grapefruit, often described as "explosive" by users—hence the "Cataclysm" portion of its name.
Citric Cataclysm represents a growing trend in cannabis breeding toward strains with exaggerated terpene profiles while maintaining balanced cannabinoid ratios. The strain has gained particular attention in markets where flavor and aroma are prioritized alongside potency. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, it has developed a dedicated following among users seeking a pronounced citrus experience with reliable hybrid effects. Its relative novelty means that stabilized phenotypes may vary between different breeders' versions.

Citric Cataclysm Strain Growing Information
Citric Cataclysm is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks indoors and finishes outdoors in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. It prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like conditions with consistent warmth and low humidity.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering (ideally below 50%) to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plant benefits from regular feeding with balanced nutrients and may show nutrient sensitivity if overfed. Growers should monitor pH levels carefully, as the strain performs best in slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.5). The intense aroma during flowering requires adequate carbon filtration for discreet indoor cultivation.
