Slush Poppie
Also known as: Slush Puppie, Slush Puppy
Slush Poppie Strain Overview
Slush Poppie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular strains: Slurricane and Grape Pie. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the potent effects and appealing flavors of its parent genetics. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, Slush Poppie has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome coverage. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the flower structure. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when handled. Slush Poppie's name references both its lineage and its flavor profile, which often evokes comparisons to frozen dessert beverages.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time and adaptability to various growing environments. The strain has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets, particularly among users seeking a balanced experience that combines physical relaxation with mental stimulation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Slush Poppie has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor profile and consistent effects.

Slush Poppie Strain Growing Information
Slush Poppie is considered a moderate-difficulty 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 can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Slush Poppie responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. The strain prefers stable temperatures (20-26°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Regular pruning of lower foliage is recommended to improve air circulation and focus energy on top colas.
