The Recipe
Also known as: Recipe
The Recipe Strain Overview
The Recipe is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeders at Exotic Genetix. This strain was created by crossing the popular Gelato #41 with a selected phenotype of The Menthol, resulting in a cultivar that combines desirable traits from both parent lines. The name 'The Recipe' reflects the careful genetic formulation and the complex flavor profile that emerges from this specific combination of genetics. First introduced to the cannabis market in the late 2010s, The Recipe has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its consistent quality and distinctive characteristics.
The Recipe typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers exhibit a striking visual appearance with deep purple hues often emerging in cooler growing conditions, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced in the calyxes, creating a visually appealing contrast that makes this strain stand out in cultivation. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
Notable features of The Recipe include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained particular attention for its unique combination of sweet, fruity notes with underlying gas and fuel undertones. Growers appreciate its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements and reliable performance, while consumers value its versatile effects that can be suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

The Recipe Strain Growing Information
The Recipe is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. Flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere usually occurs in mid to late October. The plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-6 feet when grown outdoors, with indoor plants generally staying more compact at 3-4 feet. Yields are typically above average, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. The Recipe prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should provide good air circulation and consider implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but benefit from preventive measures. Nutrient requirements are typical for hybrid strains, with a balanced feeding regimen recommended throughout the vegetative and flowering stages.
