Crypto
Crypto Strain Overview
Crypto is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, coinciding with the rise of cryptocurrency culture from which it derives its name. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent, cerebral hybrid with distinctive visual characteristics. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure in public records, it is generally understood to be a carefully selected cross between established parent strains, resulting in a balanced hybrid that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain is notable for its striking appearance, featuring dense, conical buds that display a vibrant color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, all generously coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually appealing contrast. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, diesel-like undertones with sweeter, fruitier notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Crypto has gained popularity among users who appreciate its balanced effects and unique flavor profile. The strain's name reflects not only its emergence during the cryptocurrency boom but also the somewhat mysterious or 'hidden' nature of its precise genetic lineage, which remains a topic of discussion among cannabis enthusiasts. Its cultivation requires moderate experience, making it more suitable for growers with some prior knowledge rather than complete beginners.

Crypto Strain Growing Information
Crypto is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with limited vertical clearance. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield and light penetration.
