Jaffacito
Also known as: Jaffa Cito
Jaffacito Strain Overview
Jaffacito is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Jaffa Cake with Gelato 41. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the unique terpene profile of Jaffa Cake with the potency and structure of Gelato genetics. Jaffacito represents a carefully selected phenotype that emphasizes the dessert-like aromatic qualities while maintaining robust growth characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. Jaffacito's name references its purported flavor profile, which users describe as reminiscent of Jaffa Cakes, a popular British confection consisting of orange-flavored jelly atop a sponge cake base, covered in chocolate.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines citrus, chocolate, and earthy notes, creating a unique sensory experience. The strain has gained popularity in certain cannabis communities for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor, though it remains less widely available than its parent strains. Breeders have focused on stabilizing the phenotype to consistently produce the desired combination of aromas, flavors, and effects.

Jaffacito Strain Growing Information
Jaffacito is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Plants tend to be medium in height, with indoor plants reaching 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially growing taller. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain requires careful attention to humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, particularly due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yield and light penetration.
