Garlic Grove
Garlic Grove
Also known as: GMO x Legend Orange Apricot F2
Overview
Garlic Grove is a potent hybrid strain bred by Compound Genetics through crossing GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies) with their own Legend Orange Apricot F2. This strain represents the convergence of two distinct genetic lines: the pungent, garlic-forward GMO parent (itself a cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Chemdawg) and the citrusy, fruity Legend Orange Apricot F2. The combination results in a predominantly indica-leaning hybrid that expresses approximately 70% indica genetics. Garlic Grove gained popularity for its unique aromatic profile that blends the savory, garlicky notes inherited from its GMO parent with the bright citrus undertones from the Legend Orange Apricot lineage. The strain has become increasingly sought after in premium dispensaries since its introduction, with cultivation data showing impressive consistency rates near 90% for clone production. Compound Genetics developed this strain as part of their strategic focus on creating cannabis varieties that offer both potent medicinal benefits and distinctive sensory experiences, utilizing advanced breeding techniques including multiple stabilization cycles to ensure consistent expression of both aroma and effects.

Growing Information
Garlic Grove is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers due to its specific environmental requirements. The strain typically has an unknown but likely 8-10 week flowering period based on its genetic lineage. Indoor cultivation requires careful attention to humidity and temperature control to maximize terpene production, particularly the volatile compounds responsible for its distinctive garlic and citrus aroma. The plant structure reflects its indica-dominant genetics with dense, resinous buds that develop a thick coating of trichomes. Growers report that proper nutrient management and lighting systems are essential to achieve the strain's reported THC levels of 18-27%. Due to its potent aroma during flowering, adequate ventilation or outdoor cultivation may be preferred to manage odor. Expected yields are moderate to good when grown under optimal conditions.
