Crystal Ship
Crystal Ship Strain Overview
Crystal Ship is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, known for its visually striking appearance and well-rounded effects. The strain's name is inspired by the 1967 song "The Crystal Ship" by The Doors, reflecting its psychedelic heritage and cerebral qualities. Crystal Ship was created by crossing the popular strains Gelato #33 and The Menthol, combining Gelato's dessert-like flavors with The Menthol's refreshing minty notes to produce a unique aromatic profile.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance that lives up to its name. The flowers typically display deep purple hues with vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually appealing contrast. Crystal Ship plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for various growing environments. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity.
Crystal Ship's genetic lineage provides a complex terpene profile that contributes to its distinctive flavor and aroma. Users often describe the experience as beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation without heavy sedation. The strain has become particularly noted in cannabis communities for its consistency and reliability, with many growers appreciating its resistance to common pests and molds. While not as widely available as some mainstream hybrids, Crystal Ship has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who value its artistic appearance and nuanced effects.

Crystal Ship Strain Growing Information
Crystal Ship is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Crystal Ship plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like SCROG or LST. The plants are relatively resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
