Rocket
Also known as: Rocket Fuel
Rocket Strain Overview
Rocket is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its energetic and uplifting effects. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains, though its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure in cannabis literature. Some sources suggest it may have origins in California's cannabis breeding scene during the early 2000s, while others attribute its development to various seed banks experimenting with high-energy sativa genetics. The strain's name reflects its reputation for providing a fast-acting, soaring cerebral experience that many users describe as launching them into a state of heightened awareness and creativity.
Visually, Rocket typically produces medium-sized, elongated buds with a dense structure and vibrant green coloration. The flowers are often accented with orange pistils and coated in a generous layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a sparkling appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining fuel-like undertones with citrus and pine notes, which contributes to its alternate name 'Rocket Fuel.' Growers appreciate Rocket for its relatively vigorous growth pattern and resilience, though its sativa heritage means it requires careful height management in indoor cultivation settings.
Rocket has gained popularity among recreational users seeking daytime relief without sedation, as well as medical cannabis patients looking for mood elevation and mental stimulation. The strain's effects are typically described as cerebral and energizing, making it less suitable for evening use or for individuals sensitive to anxiety. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Rocket maintains a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts who value its distinctive combination of aroma, appearance, and psychoactive properties.

Rocket Strain Growing Information
Rocket is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments. Rocket prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires careful height management as the plants can stretch significantly during the flowering phase. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to control height and improve light penetration. Rocket has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but benefits from good air circulation and humidity control, particularly during the flowering stage.
