Smiley Strain Overview
Smiley is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its mood-enhancing properties and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The name reflects the strain's reported ability to induce feelings of happiness and contentment, often described as producing a 'smile' effect among users.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a sparkling appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lighter lime hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when handled. Smiley plants exhibit characteristics of both indica and sativa lineages, with a moderately bushy structure and medium internodal spacing.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries despite not achieving mainstream recognition comparable to more famous hybrids. Its reliability and pleasant experience have earned it a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its consistent quality and predictable effects.

Smiley Strain Growing Information
Smiley 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, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Smiley responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. It prefers a stable climate with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and diseases but require good air circulation.
