Vaporwave
Also known as: Vapor Wave
Vaporwave Strain Overview
Vaporwave is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity through online cannabis communities and boutique breeders. The strain's name references the 1980s-inspired aesthetic and electronic music genre, reflecting its contemporary origins in internet culture rather than traditional cannabis breeding circles. While its exact breeding history isn't as well-documented as classic strains, Vaporwave has developed a dedicated following for its balanced effects and distinctive sensory profile.
Visually, Vaporwave buds typically display a striking appearance with dense, chunky nuggets that exhibit a range of purple, green, and sometimes blue hues, often accentuated by a generous coating of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The strain's aesthetic appeal contributes to its popularity among connoisseurs who appreciate visually distinctive cannabis. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a tight, indica-dominant structure, though the exact appearance can vary depending on growing conditions and phenotype expression.
Notable features of Vaporwave include its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with deeper earthy undertones, creating a sensory experience that many users describe as nostalgic or reminiscent of childhood candies. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. This makes it suitable for various times of day, though individual experiences may vary based on dosage and personal tolerance levels.

Vaporwave Strain Growing Information
Vaporwave is considered a moderately difficult 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 in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces, though some phenotypes may stretch during flowering. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and providing adequate support for heavier colas. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
