What is the Papaya strain?

Papaya is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Papaya is an indica-dominant hybrid, with genetics derived from Citral #13 and Ice #2, originally bred by Nirvana Seeds. This lineage results in a plant that's about 70% indica and 30% sativa. Nirvana Seeds bred this to be their take on a Mango strain and crossed Citral #13 with Ice #2 to make their own fruit. The strain was originally bred by Nirvana Seeds, a Dutch seed company known for making heritage genetics accessible to home growers worldwide.

Papaya has gained recognition for smelling uncannily like its namesake with a taste similar to its tropical fruit counterpart, but a spicy, peppery side also becomes apparent. Appearance-wise, Papaya is known for its vibrant, bright green flowers and vivid orange hairs called pistils, and the plants stay fairly short and thin, producing lots of fluffy buds with papaya-orange hairs in 8 or 9 weeks. The strain has earned accolades including being the first place winner of the high Times cannabis cup in the Indica category, cementing its reputation as a premium cultivar in the cannabis community.
