Kaboom
Also known as: Kaboom F1
What is the Kaboom strain?
Kaboom is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Kaboom is a sativa-leaning hybrid created by legendary cannabis breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics, combining Jack's Cleaner and Vortex genetics. The strain originated from TGA/Subcool's breeding experiments with Apollo 13, Space Queen, and Vortex—cultivars known for terpinolene dominance, slick resin, and effervescent energy. After initial experiments with Apollo-13 and Jack's Cleaner BX did not meet expectations, the breeding team started over, ultimately crossing the original Jack's Cleaner mother with Vortex genetics.
Kaboom is a sativa-leaning hybrid that grows very tall with dense, heavy buds. The flowers feature lime-to-forest green colors with peach-orange pistils and a shimmering resin coat. Two primary phenotype archetypes emerge: the "Citrus-Pineapple" pheno with bright lemon, underripe mango, and green apple notes, and the "Pine-Herb" pheno featuring conifer, savory herbs, and faint menthol characteristics. This sativa-dominant strain delivers an energetic head buzz with predominantly energizing effects, making it a favorite among daytime consumers seeking clarity and minimal sedation.

How do you grow Kaboom?
Kaboom typically reaches maturity in 56 to 70 days of flowering indoors, with most phenotypes finishing between 56-63 days, though some prefer 63-70 days for full flavor development. Outdoors, harvest windows fall from late September to early October in temperate zones. Indoor yields of 450-600g/m² are achievable under efficient LED fixtures with SCROG training, while outdoor plants in 30-50 gallon containers can produce 600-900g per plant under full sun. The strain flowers fast and provides boosted yields with regular topping and pruning. Growers praise it for its vigor, manageable flowering time, and strong calyx-to-leaf ratio that makes trimming efficient. Sturdy trellising is recommended as colas can stack weight quickly in the final three weeks. Difficulty level is considered moderate, suitable for intermediate growers.
