Flex Fuel
Also known as: Flex Fuel OG
Flex Fuel Strain Overview
Flex Fuel is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Compound Genetics. The strain is known for its exceptionally high THC content and complex terpene profile that combines fuel-like aromas with sweet, fruity undertones. Its name references both its powerful effects and the distinctive gasoline-like scent that characterizes many of its phenotypes.
The strain's exact genetic lineage is not fully disclosed by its breeder, but it is believed to be a cross between Jet Fuel Gelato and another undisclosed fuel-forward cultivar. This combination results in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both indica and sativa varieties, though it typically leans slightly indica-dominant in its effects. Flex Fuel first gained attention in the cannabis community around 2020-2021 and has since become popular among experienced consumers seeking intense cerebral and physical effects.
Flex Fuel plants produce dense, resinous buds that are typically dark green with purple hues and covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The nugs often display vibrant orange pistils and have a sticky texture when properly cured. The strain is particularly noted for its strong aroma that combines diesel, gas, and chemical notes with sweeter elements of berries and citrus, creating a complex sensory experience that many enthusiasts appreciate.

Flex Fuel Strain Growing Information
Flex Fuel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though they perform particularly well in controlled indoor environments. Flex Fuel prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, especially during the flowering stage due to the dense bud structure. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and light penetration.
