Currency Strain Overview
Currency is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed in the early 2010s by breeders seeking to create a commercially viable cultivar with consistent performance and market appeal. The strain's name reflects its intended purpose as a reliable producer for commercial growers, though it has gained popularity among consumers for its balanced effects. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure in public records, it is generally understood to be a carefully selected hybrid combining traits from several established strains.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex aroma profile that combines earthy, diesel, and sweet notes. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, with orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. Currency is known for its vigorous growth and reliable yields, making it particularly appealing to commercial cultivation operations. The strain has gained recognition in various cannabis markets, though it remains more prominent in certain regional markets than others.
Notable characteristics include its relatively short flowering time and adaptability to different growing environments. The strain's balanced genetic profile results in effects that are neither overwhelmingly sedating nor excessively stimulating, contributing to its commercial appeal. While not considered a rare strain, Currency is more commonly found in specific markets where its commercial advantages are particularly valued by growers.

Currency Strain Growing Information
Currency is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain produces medium to high yields, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant.
Currency adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it performs particularly well in controlled indoor settings where environmental factors can be optimized. The plants tend to reach a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The strain has good resistance to common molds and pests, though proper ventilation and humidity control are still important. Nutrient requirements are moderate, and the plants generally tolerate a range of feeding schedules.
