Triple XXX
Also known as: XXX, Triple X
Triple XXX Strain Overview
Triple XXX is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it appears to have emerged in the early 2000s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Its name references both its triple-cross breeding process and its reputation for delivering intense effects that some users describe as 'adult' in nature.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance featuring deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. Triple XXX is known for its compact, bushy growth structure characteristic of indica varieties, with broad leaves that help support its substantial bud development.
Notable features include its complex aroma that combines sweet, fruity notes with underlying earthy and diesel undertones. The strain has developed a following among experienced cannabis users seeking strong relaxation effects, though its potency means it may not be suitable for novice consumers. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Triple XXX maintains a presence in certain regional markets and among cultivators who appreciate its distinctive characteristics.

Triple XXX Strain Growing Information
Triple XXX is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect moderate to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants in suitable climates may produce substantial harvests.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors but can grow taller outdoors with proper space. Triple XXX requires attention to humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as its dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient needs are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to over-fertilization. The plant benefits from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield.
