Neapolitan
Also known as: Neapolitan OG
Neapolitan Strain Overview
Neapolitan is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that has gained popularity for its unique flavor profile reminiscent of the classic three-flavor ice cream. The strain was created by crossing Gelato #41 with Sherbet, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. First introduced to the cannabis market in the mid-2010s, Neapolitan quickly became a favorite among connoisseurs for its complex terpene profile and reliable effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds with a distinctive color palette that includes deep purple, forest green, and occasional orange pistils, creating a visual representation of its namesake dessert. The buds are typically covered in a generous layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance. Neapolitan plants exhibit a moderate growth structure with good lateral branching, making them suitable for various cultivation techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training).
Neapolitan is particularly noted for its complex aroma and flavor profile that evolves through different stages of consumption. Users often describe experiencing distinct flavor notes at different times, much like the layered experience of Neapolitan ice cream. The strain has become a benchmark for dessert-flavored cannabis varieties and has been used in breeding programs to create other popular strains with similar flavor characteristics.

Neapolitan Strain Growing Information
Neapolitan is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, 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 Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Neapolitan responds well to topping and training techniques to maximize yield and light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain has moderate nutrient requirements and benefits from a balanced feeding regimen.
