Crunch Berries
Also known as: Crunchberry, Captain Crunch, Crunch Berry Kush
Overview
Crunch Berries is an indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) cannabis strain created by the award-winning breeding team at Exotic Genetix. This strain was developed through crossing DJ Short's famous Blueberry strain with a male Triple OG, combining the sweet, fruity characteristics of Blueberry with the potent, gassy terpene profile of Triple OG. The strain emerged as part of modern cannabis breeding trends that prioritize unique terpene profiles alongside robust genetic stability.
Crunch Berries is particularly notable for its distinctive flavor profile that closely resembles its namesake cereal, featuring sweet berry and vanilla notes with hints of candy and a pleasant aftertaste that can linger for hours. The strain produces small to medium-sized forest green buds with rich purple undertones, bright orange hairs, and a dense coating of amber-colored trichomes that give the flowers an almost white appearance. The aroma combines the sweet blueberry influence with spicy, earthy, and pine notes, creating a complex sensory experience.
This strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that begin with uplifting and energizing sensations before transitioning into a relaxing, euphoric state. The high provides creative inspiration while helping to ease racing thoughts and tension, making it suitable for both daytime activities like hiking and evening relaxation. With its moderate to high THC content and well-rounded cannabinoid profile, Crunch Berries has become popular among both recreational users and medical patients seeking relief from various conditions.

Growing Information
Crunch Berries is considered a challenging strain to grow with high demands for environmental conditions, lighting, and nutrition. Indoor flowering time ranges from 7-9 weeks (56-63 days), with some sources reporting 8-10 weeks. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, preferring warm, sunny climates with good ventilation. Indoor yields can reach 12-18 ounces per square meter (up to 450g/m²), while outdoor plants can produce 1-2 ounces per square foot or around 400 grams per plant. Plants tend to grow medium to tall height and benefit from training techniques like LST or SCROG. The strain requires strategic pruning to reach full potential and is susceptible to common pests like spider mites. Optimal temperature ranges from 70-80°F during vegetation and slightly cooler during flowering, with humidity maintained between 40-60%.
