Papalope
Also known as: Papalope OG
Papalope Strain Overview
Papalope is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Breeders developed Papalope by crossing two notable strains to create a plant that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day.
The strain's name is a playful combination that hints at its genetic heritage and effects. Papalope plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica lineage. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that can develop under cooler temperatures. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives them a frosty appearance that indicates high cannabinoid production.
Papalope has gained a following among cannabis enthusiasts for its well-rounded effects and complex aroma profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its balanced characteristics. The strain's effects typically begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to more pronounced physical relaxation, creating what users describe as a 'best of both worlds' experience.

Papalope Strain Growing Information
Papalope is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late 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 suitable climates.
The plants tend to maintain a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Papalope responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though it prefers stable environmental conditions. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity environments. The strain benefits from techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Papalope can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though outdoor cultivation requires a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight.
