Double Cross Strain Overview
Double Cross is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by crossing two prominent parent strains to create a plant that combines desirable traits from both indica and sativa lineages. While its exact breeding history is somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, most sources agree it represents a carefully selected cross between established genetics. The strain gained popularity in medical and recreational markets for its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics.
Double Cross plants typically display a mix of indica and sativa features, with medium-height plants that develop dense, resinous buds. The flowers are often light to medium green with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high cannabinoid production. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending earthy and citrus notes with subtle undertones that vary between phenotypes.
Notably, Double Cross has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis markets despite not achieving the widespread fame of some other hybrids. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption preferences, and it has been used in breeding programs to create other hybrid strains. The strain's name references its crossed genetics rather than any particular potency characteristic, though it typically produces moderate to high THC levels.

Double Cross Strain Growing Information
Double Cross is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late 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 grows well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, 1.5-2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and produces high resin content.
