Jelly Beans
Also known as: Jelly Bean
Jelly Beans Strain Overview
Jelly Beans is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Jordan of the Islands. The strain was created by crossing the classic indica-dominant hybrid Blueberry with the sativa-dominant hybrid Cinderella 99. This genetic combination results in a balanced hybrid that offers a mix of both indica and sativa characteristics, though it tends to lean slightly toward the indica side in its effects. The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s and has maintained a following among enthusiasts who appreciate its flavorful profile and reliable effects.
Visually, Jelly Beans plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that are often a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils. The strain's name is derived from its sweet, candy-like aroma and flavor profile, which many users describe as reminiscent of various fruit candies.
Jelly Beans is known for its relatively fast flowering time and moderate growth difficulty, making it accessible to growers with some experience. The strain tends to produce average to above-average yields when grown under optimal conditions. While specific terpene profiles can vary between phenotypes, common terpenes found in Jelly Beans include myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, which contribute to its distinctive sweet and fruity aroma with earthy undertones.

Jelly Beans Strain Growing Information
Jelly Beans is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average around 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet tall, and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Jelly Beans plants are somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
