Crimea
Also known as: Crimean, Crimean Kush
Crimea Strain Overview
Crimea is a relatively rare cannabis strain named after the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea region. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure, it is believed to have developed from landrace strains native to Eastern Europe, potentially with influences from Central Asian varieties. The strain gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts in the early 2010s, though it remains less common than mainstream commercial hybrids. Its regional heritage suggests adaptation to the temperate climate of its namesake region, though specific documentation about its development history is limited.
Visually, Crimea typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive structure. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures. The buds are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Orange or amber pistils are commonly interspersed throughout the flowers, creating a visually striking contrast against the green and purple background.
The strain is noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. Users often describe Crimea as providing a clear-headed, functional experience rather than overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for daytime or evening use. Its rarity means that consistent phenotypes may vary between growers, and some variations labeled as 'Crimea' may represent different expressions of similar regional genetics rather than a standardized cultivar.

Crimea Strain Growing Information
Crimea is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a temperate climate similar to its native region and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach a medium height, with indoor plants averaging 3-4 feet and outdoor plants potentially reaching 5-6 feet. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 1.2-1.6 ounces per square foot. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the strain can be sensitive to environmental fluctuations. Some phenotypes may benefit from training techniques to improve light penetration and airflow.
