Apple Cider

Apple Cider is a indica dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 18-24% on average, with 1% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Apple Cider high creeps in gently before wrapping the whole body in heavy relaxation — expect softened shoulders, slowed thoughts and a warm couch-lock that deepens as the session goes on. A gentle mental uplift keeps the mood bright the whole way through, so the physical heaviness never tips over into fogginess. These combined effects make Apple Cider a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Apple Cider has a mouth-filling pine and coffee flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a coffee finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

In the garden, Apple Cider is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well in controlled indoor setups. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Cider family — see Cider Kush (X18) and Fire Cider for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
