Taffie
Also known as: Taffy, Taffie OG
Taffie Strain Overview
Taffie is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2000s from California's cannabis breeding scene. Taffie is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that often display a striking contrast between deep green foliage and vibrant orange pistils, with a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The name likely references the strain's sweet, candy-like aroma that some users compare to taffy or other confections.
In terms of growth characteristics, Taffie plants typically exhibit a moderately bushy structure with good lateral branching, making them suitable for various cultivation techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training). The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Taffie has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among connoisseurs who appreciate its distinctive terpene profile.
Notable features of Taffie include its complex flavor evolution during consumption, often beginning with sweet, fruity notes that transition to more earthy, herbal undertones on the exhale. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, providing an initial uplift that gradually settles into a calming body relaxation without excessive sedation. This makes Taffie suitable for various times of day, though novice users should exercise caution due to its potentially high THC content. The strain's relative rarity compared to more commercial varieties means that specific phenotypic expressions can vary significantly between different growers and batches.

Taffie Strain Growing Information
Taffie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late 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. Taffie performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outside. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if given space. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may benefit from additional support during late flowering as buds become heavy. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and training techniques.
