GT3
Also known as: GT #3, Grapefruit #3, Grapefruit 3
GT3 Strain Overview
GT3, also known as Grapefruit #3, is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Canadian breeding scene in the early 2000s. The strain was developed by breeder Subcool of TGA Seeds, who crossed Cinderella 99 with an unknown grapefruit-flavored male. This genetic combination resulted in a strain that combines the uplifting cerebral effects of Cinderella 99 with distinctive citrus flavors. GT3 gained popularity among medical and recreational users for its balanced effects and unique terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The buds are known for their dense structure and resinous texture. GT3's most distinguishing feature is its pronounced grapefruit aroma, which is complemented by subtle earthy and floral undertones. The strain's appearance and aroma make it easily recognizable among other citrus-forward varieties.
GT3 has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis market due to its reliable effects and cultivation characteristics. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its classic sativa-leaning effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain represents an important development in the breeding of citrus-flavored cannabis varieties and has influenced subsequent hybrid creations.

GT3 Strain Growing Information
GT3 is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. GT3 prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. The plants tend to grow to medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds.
