Honey Crisp Strain Overview
Honey Crisp is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing Forbidden Jelly and Gas (also known as Gas Bugnes). This modern strain has gained attention for its distinctive apple-honey flavor profile that closely resembles its namesake apple variety. The strain was developed with genetics that include contributions from In-House Genetics' Forbidden Jelly and Skunk House's Gas Bugnes lineage (Apple Fritter x Paris Larry). Honey Crisp produces dense, grape-shaped emerald-green buds with golden undertones, thick orange hairs, and a heavy coating of frosty golden-amber crystal trichomes. The strain delivers a complex aroma that combines sweet honey citrus notes with tropical fruits, while also carrying notable skunkiness and gassy undertones. Users report that the effects begin almost immediately upon consumption, starting with an uplifting cerebral high that promotes creativity and sociability, followed by a heavy physical relaxation that doesn't lead to complete sedation. This balanced effect profile makes it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on dosage.
