Falcon 9
Also known as: Falcon-9
Overview
Falcon 9 is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by the renowned Exotic Genetix breeding company. This strain is a cross between Sunset Sherbert and Tina, combining the best characteristics of both parent strains to create a potent and flavorful indica-leaning hybrid. The strain is typically classified as 70% indica and 30% sativa, though it maintains the heavy, relaxing effects characteristic of indica genetics. Falcon 9 has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community for its exceptional bag appeal and potent effects. The buds display a striking appearance with dark olive green nugs accented by deep purple undertones and bright orange pistils, all covered in a frosty coating of white crystal trichomes. This visual appeal is matched by its complex aromatic and flavor profile, featuring a smooth, gassy ice cream taste with citrusy undertones, earthy notes, and hints of vanilla. The strain's terpene profile is dominated by limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene, creating a sophisticated blend of citrus, spice, and earthy aromas. Falcon 9 is particularly valued for its therapeutic potential and has become a staple in medical cannabis programs for its reported efficacy in treating various conditions.

Growing Information
Falcon 9 is considered moderate to difficult in growing requirements. The strain has a flowering time of 56-63 days (8-9 weeks) and is known as a heavy producer. When grown indoors, plants typically reach 5-8 feet in height and can yield up to 22 ounces per plant or 400-550 grams per square meter. Outdoor cultivation can produce even higher yields of 22-25 ounces per plant, with plants reaching similar heights. The strain thrives in temperate climates with controlled humidity levels between 40-50% and temperatures ranging from 68-77°F during the day.

Harvest timing is crucial, with trichome maturity testing recommended to achieve the optimal balance of potency and flavor.
