Tropical Smoothie
Tropical Smoothie
Also known as: Fruit Smoothie
Overview
Tropical Smoothie is a hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between Pineapple and Cookies strains. This strain is 50% sativa and 50% indica, offering a balanced experience that combines the best of both worlds. The strain emerged from the late-2010s wave of dessert and candy cultivars, an era defined by breeders who prioritized terpene intensity and confectionary flavor over the piney, skunky profiles of earlier decades. By the early 2020s, consumer demand had clearly tilted toward strains with bright, tropical aromatics, and Tropical Smoothie fit that market trend with uncanny precision. In dispensaries, the label Tropical Smoothie has appeared attached to multiple breeder cuts, indicating that the name functions more as a sensory promise than a single copyrighted cultivar. This is common for modern flavor-first hybrids, where phenotype and cut identity can vary regionally. The nugs are dense, sticky, and dark green with orange hairs and a nice layer of keef. Alternative genetics include crosses between Tropicana Cookies and Sunset Sherbert, showcasing the strain's diverse breeding background.

Growing Information
With just a little TLC, this plant produces abundant yields which can reach up to 2.5 kilos per plant when grown outdoors. Having said that, she is best grown in regions with long summers, as her 9 to 10-week flowering period means that she'll only be ready for harvest by mid-October. The cultivation was just as easy as with the Terp&Tonic. I would almost say beginner-friendly. Indoor yields of 500–650 g/m² are attainable with dialed environment and training, with skilled growers pushing higher under high PPFD and CO2. Outdoor plants in full sun and healthy soil can produce 800–1,200 g per plant depending on veg time and climate. Most cuts finish in 8–10 weeks of flower, with 9 weeks a common sweet spot. Start checking trichomes at day 56–60; a target of cloudy with 10–20% amber typically yields the calm-yet-alert effect profile. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with moderate growing difficulty.
