Strawberry Chunk
Also known as: Strawberry Chunk #1
Strawberry Chunk Strain Overview
Strawberry Chunk is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder DJ Short, known for his work with Blueberry and other classic strains. The strain was created by crossing Strawberry Cough with an Afghani indica, resulting in a plant that combines the sweet berry flavors of its sativa parent with the relaxing, body-heavy effects of its indica heritage. This cross was specifically designed to enhance the indica characteristics while preserving the distinctive strawberry aroma and flavor profile.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a structure that reflects its indica lineage. The flowers display a range of green hues, often with purple undertones that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, resinous appearance. The name 'Chunk' accurately describes the bud structure, which tends to be compact and heavy.
Strawberry Chunk gained popularity in the early 2000s and has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis culture due to its reliable effects and distinctive flavor. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it remains sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced combination of cerebral and physical effects. The strain is particularly noted for its consistency across different phenotypes, with most expressions maintaining the core characteristics that define the variety.

Strawberry Chunk Strain Growing Information
Strawberry Chunk is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them suitable for both cultivation environments. Indoor yields average 1.5-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces each under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, which can help manage its bushy growth pattern and improve light penetration. Strawberry Chunk is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests, though proper airflow is essential to prevent issues in the dense buds. The plants develop their best coloration and flavor expression when exposed to slightly cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
