Opal Fruitz
Also known as: Opal Fruits
Opal Fruitz Strain Overview
Opal Fruitz is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the 2020s, developed by breeders seeking to combine potent effects with distinctive tropical flavor profiles. The strain's name references the British candy brand 'Opal Fruits' (known as Starburst in some markets), which was famous for its fruit-flavored chews, hinting at the strain's pronounced fruity terpene expression. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure in public records, it appears to be part of a wave of dessert and candy-themed cultivars popularized through online cannabis communities and boutique breeders.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a complex visual presentation. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The foliage may exhibit purple and dark green coloration, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain's most notable characteristic is its aromatic profile, which strongly evokes tropical fruit candy with sweet, tangy notes.
Opal Fruitz has gained attention primarily through word-of-mouth in cannabis enthusiast circles rather than widespread commercial cultivation. Its rarity means comprehensive laboratory data and consistent grower reports are limited compared to more established strains. The strain represents the ongoing trend in cannabis breeding toward specific flavor and aroma experiences, with effects that generally balance cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.

Opal Fruitz Strain Growing Information
Opal Fruitz is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage canopy development. Growers should monitor humidity carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and may exhibit enhanced coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
