Fruit Pump
Also known as: Fruit Pump OG
Fruit Pump Strain Overview
Fruit Pump is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Breeders sought to combine the potent effects of classic OG Kush genetics with the distinctive fruity terpene profiles that were gaining popularity among connoisseurs. The strain represents a deliberate attempt to bridge the gap between traditional heavy-hitting varieties and newer, more aromatic cultivars, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained a dedicated following in both medical and recreational markets.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color contrast. The flowers typically feature deep forest green foliage generously interspersed with vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of milky-white trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high resin production. The buds are often quite compact and resinous, breaking apart to reveal complex internal structures. Notable features include the strain's exceptional bag appeal and the way its aroma intensifies significantly when the buds are broken apart or ground.
Fruit Pump's genetic heritage combines two well-established lineages, resulting in a plant that exhibits traits from both parent strains. The name 'Fruit Pump' references both the fruity terpene profile inherited from its fruit-forward parent and the 'pump' or energizing effect that some users report. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Fruit Pump has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.

Fruit Pump Strain Growing Information
Fruit Pump is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit a medium height, usually reaching 120-160 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Fruit Pump prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Special considerations include providing good air circulation around the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and manage height.
