Passion Punch

Passion Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and floral flavor profile.

Passion Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain crafted in January 2019 by breeder Andy of PNW Cultivar, created by crossing breeder Dutch Passion's Passion Fruit with the legendary Black Cherry Punch. This strain emerged during the late-2010s wave of fruit-forward, dessert-style hybrids that paired classic "Punch" genetics with tropical citrus cultivars, with the name typically signaling a marriage of Passion Fruit flavors with the candy-grape profile made famous by Purple Punch and related Punch offshoots. In practice, multiple breeders have released a "Passion Punch," so lineage can vary by vendor and region.

The appearance of Passion Punch is as enticing as its name suggests, marked by vibrant hues and a dense, resinous structure. The buds are typically medium-to-large, displaying a spectrum of colors ranging from deep forest greens to hints of purple and orange pistils that glisten under sunlight. Under microscopic examination, the trichomes on Passion Punch are abundant and crystalline, indicating high potency. The best Passion Punch expressions deliver an unmistakable top note of passion fruit, guava, and ripe citrus zest. Crack a jar and you'll often find tangerine oil, pink grapefruit, and candied pineapple out front. As buds break, the bouquet deepens into grape Jolly Rancher, blueberry syrup, and vanilla frosting from the Punch lineage. A grounding layer of spicy caryophyllene, fresh pine, and sweet earth keeps the fruit from becoming cloying.
