What is the Grapefruit strain?

Grapefruit is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and grapefruit flavor profile.

Grapefruit is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain (70% sativa/30% indica) originally developed by Positronic Seeds in the 1980s through crossing Cinderella 99 with an unknown landrace sativa. The strain gained recognition for its distinctive grapefruit flavor profile, which was specifically cultivated to emphasize citrus characteristics inherited from its Cinderella 99 parent. There are also references to BC Grapefruit, which comes from a clone of unknown genetics that was found by Breeder Steve from Spice of Life and gained popularity in the 1980s, though the original BC Grapefruit has since become very scarce.

Grapefruit produces visually striking buds with outstanding trichome production, dense nug structure, and vibrant colors including shades of green, royal purple, pastel yellow, and burnt orange pistils. The strain features a sweet, tropical flavor profile with citrus and grapefruit aromas. The dominant terpene Limonene creates its unmistakable citrus aroma, while the taste sensations combine tropical pineapple with grapefruit undertones. Grapefruit is notable for its fast-flowering genetics, typically ready between 42 to 56 days, with indoor flowering time around 60-70 days.
