Project X
Also known as: Project 4510
Project X Strain Overview
Project X, bred by the renowned Square One Genetics, emerged as a pioneer in the hybrid cannabis strains world, first introduced in the early 2010s, and quickly attracted attention in both recreational and medicinal circles. It carries a prestigious legacy by intertwining both indica and sativa genetics into a single, unique profile, meticulously developed to merge the best of two worlds, building upon decades of cannabis breeding research and expert horticultural practices. The strain exhibits a near 50/50 split between indica and sativa genetics, which helps explain its balanced effects, with recent DNA fingerprinting research indicating the strain has a genetic stability index of over 92%, making it one of the more reliable hybrids for both commercial and medicinal purposes.
The "Project X" name emerged as one of those catch-all monikers used by breeders labeling experimental crosses with internal codenames before deciding on a commercial brand, showing up on menus as a limited batch while growers evaluated stability, yield, and bag appeal. Some West Coast operators used "Project X" for cookie-forward test crosses that later received permanent names, while others applied it to citrus-gas hybrids that never left the pilot phase, resulting in most "Project X" lots landing in the modern hybrid category, often showing dense, resin-rich flowers and dessert-leaning aromas with a citrus or gas backbeat. The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, almost glittery look, with nugs ranging in color from bright green to deep purple, often highlighted with vibrant orange pistils.

Project X Strain Growing Information
Project X is an indica/sativa hybrid from Square One Genetics that can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with plants needing a flowering time of approximately 56 days (8 weeks). The strain adapts well to indoor environments, requiring a flowering time of approximately 60 days similar to cultivation practices recommended for comparable hybrid strains. Cookies-leaning cuts frequently finish in 60-63 days with dense, resinous colas, while Haze-leaning cuts may require 63-70 days for full terpene and cannabinoid expression, with harvest timing guided by trichomes targeting mostly cloudy heads with 10-20% amber for balanced effects. Some phenotypes show heavy yields with large buds, finishing fast and described as production monsters. The strain is considered moderate difficulty for cultivation, suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing with proper environmental controls.
