Harlequake
Also known as: Harlequin Quake, Harlequin x Querkle
Harlequake Strain Overview
Harlequake is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Harlequin with Querkle. This strain was specifically bred to combine the high-CBD, clear-headed effects of Harlequin with the flavorful, relaxing qualities of Querkle. The result is a strain that offers a unique combination of therapeutic potential and recreational enjoyment, making it popular among both medical users and those seeking a milder psychoactive experience.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep purple and forest green hues, accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where the purple pigmentation becomes more dominant. The buds have a dense, resinous structure that breaks apart easily, revealing complex aromatic profiles.
Harlequake is notable for its balanced cannabinoid profile, which provides a more moderate psychoactive experience compared to high-THC strains. Users appreciate its ability to deliver therapeutic benefits without overwhelming intoxication. The strain has gained recognition in medical cannabis communities for its versatility and has become increasingly available in dispensaries that specialize in CBD-rich varieties. Its unique genetic heritage makes it a subject of interest for breeders looking to develop new high-CBD cultivars.

Harlequake Strain Growing Information
Harlequake is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. They respond well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over environmental factors that influence the purple coloration.
Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. Some training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen with particular attention during the flowering phase.
