Pamplemousse
Also known as: Pamplemousse OG
What is the Pamplemousse strain?
Pamplemousse is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Pamplemousse is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive grapefruit aroma and flavor profile. The strain's name, which means 'grapefruit' in French, accurately reflects its most prominent sensory characteristic. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, Pamplemousse is generally believed to be a cross between Grapefruit and an unknown OG Kush phenotype, combining the citrus-forward qualities of the former with the classic structure and effects of the latter. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s, particularly in California's cannabis scene, where its unique terpene profile and balanced effects appealed to both recreational and medicinal users.
Visually, Pamplemousse plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure typical of OG Kush genetics. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of milky-white trichomes and fiery orange pistils. The strain's leaves are typically dark green with some purple pigmentation, particularly in cooler environments. The buds are known for their sticky texture and heavy resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Pamplemousse is particularly notable for its complex terpene profile that delivers a pronounced grapefruit aroma with secondary notes of pine, earth, and subtle diesel undertones. The strain's balanced genetic heritage provides effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Pamplemousse maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile and reliable effects.

How do you grow Pamplemousse?
Pamplemousse is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to grow to a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to the dense bud structure, monitoring for pests (particularly spider mites), and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
