Also known as: Junkfood
Junk Food Strain Overview
Junk Food is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that has gained popularity for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain was created by crossing the indica-dominant hybrid GMO (Garlic Mushroom Onion) with the sativa-dominant hybrid The Menthol, resulting in a genetic blend that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. First introduced in the mid-2010s, Junk Food has become known among cannabis enthusiasts for its distinctive aroma and potent effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's name reflects its flavor characteristics, which many users describe as reminiscent of sweet, processed snacks with complex undertones. Junk Food plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a white, sugary appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the compact flower structure. The buds are known for their sticky texture and heavy resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Junk Food has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in various cannabis publications for its unique terpene profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor and balanced effects. The strain's genetics have also been used in breeding projects to create new hybrid varieties, contributing to its legacy in the cannabis community.

Junk Food Strain Growing Information
Junk Food is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Junk Food requires careful attention to humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) can help maximize light penetration and improve yields. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from proper flushing before harvest to enhance flavor profiles.
