Raspao
Also known as: Raspado
Raspao Strain Overview
Raspao is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention in certain cannabis communities, particularly in Spanish-speaking regions. The name 'Raspao' translates to 'scraped' or 'shaved' in Spanish, possibly referring to the strain's appearance or the way it was developed. While comprehensive historical documentation is limited, Raspao appears to be a modern hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s, with some sources suggesting Spanish or South American origins. The strain remains somewhat obscure in mainstream cannabis culture but has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The buds are known for their resinous quality and sticky texture when properly cured.
Raspao is recognized for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's rarity means that consistent information across different sources is limited, and phenotypes may vary significantly depending on cultivation practices and environmental factors. Some growers report that Raspao exhibits characteristics that suggest it may contain genetics from both indica and sativa lineages, though its exact genetic heritage remains uncertain without comprehensive testing.

Raspao Strain Growing Information
Raspao is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants usually finish flowering in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers to better control environmental factors.
Plants tend to be medium in height, with indica-dominant phenotypes staying more compact while sativa-leaning phenotypes may stretch more during flowering. Yield is generally moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable climates. The strain benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and air circulation. Raspao is somewhat sensitive to overwatering and requires careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper humidity levels to prevent mold issues.
