Rotten
Also known as: Rotten Banana, Rotten Candy
Rotten Strain Overview
Rotten is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its distinctive aroma profile and balanced effects. The strain's origins are somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis scene. Its name derives from the unique combination of sweet, fruity notes with underlying funky, almost fermented undertones that some users describe as reminiscent of overripe fruit or tropical decay. This unusual aromatic profile makes Rotten particularly memorable among connoisseurs.
The strain typically produces medium to large buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, characteristic of its hybrid genetics.
Rotten has developed a reputation among users for providing a well-rounded experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. Its unique flavor profile and reliable effects have made it a sought-after strain in certain cannabis markets, though it remains less common than mainstream commercial varieties. The strain's exact genetic heritage varies depending on the breeder, contributing to some inconsistency in its characteristics across different sources.

Rotten Strain Growing Information
Rotten is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-6 feet, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Rotten benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. The strain has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but requires careful monitoring of humidity levels during flowering to prevent bud rot, particularly in dense colas.
