Cross-Fire Hurricane
Also known as: Crossfire Hurricane
Cross-Fire Hurricane Strain Overview
Cross-Fire Hurricane is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, gaining attention for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain was developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent strains, resulting in a versatile hybrid suitable for various consumption preferences. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, it has established a presence in both medical and recreational markets, particularly in North America.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by dark green foliage interspersed with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The nugs often display purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, adding to their visual appeal. Cross-Fire Hurricane's aroma profile is complex and multi-layered, combining earthy base notes with brighter citrus and pine accents that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Notable features of Cross-Fire Hurricane include its relatively balanced genetic profile that provides effects appreciated by both indica and sativa enthusiasts. The strain has gained recognition for its consistency when grown under proper conditions and its ability to deliver predictable effects that many users find manageable throughout the day. While not among the most widely cultivated strains, it maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced characteristics.

Cross-Fire Hurricane Strain Growing Information
Cross-Fire Hurricane is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though controlled indoor environments often produce more consistent results. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage canopy height and improve light penetration. Cross-Fire Hurricane prefers stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, with particular attention needed during flowering to prevent mold in dense bud structures.
Special considerations include providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage and gradually reducing nutrients as flowering progresses. The plants respond well to organic growing methods and may display enhanced coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering. Regular pruning of lower foliage improves air circulation and directs energy to primary colas.
