What is the The Ripple strain?
The Ripple is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
The Ripple is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Ethos Genetics, known for its complex genetic lineage and well-rounded effects. The strain was created by crossing Mandarin Cookies with Ethos's proprietary Mandarin Sunset, resulting in a cultivar that combines desirable traits from both parent strains. Its name references the cascading effects users typically experience, which begin subtly and gradually intensify, creating a 'ripple' effect throughout the body and mind.
The Ripple produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The nugs are typically medium to large in size with a frosty coating of trichomes that gives them a shimmering, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones and a hint of gas, while the flavor delivers a smooth smoke with citrus and berry notes on the exhale.
This strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. The Ripple is considered a versatile daytime strain that can be enjoyed in various settings, though novice users should approach with caution due to its potentially high THC content. The strain's consistent performance and reliable effects have made it a favorite among growers and consumers seeking a well-rounded hybrid experience.

It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them manageable for most growing spaces.
Indoor growers can expect yields of 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
