Marijuana Strain Descriptions
Cosmic Apple
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Myrcene (earthy, musky, herbal foundation); Limonene (bright citrus, tart apple, crisp); Pinene (sharp pine freshness, alertness support)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Caryophyllene (subtle spice, pepper, CB2 interaction); Linalool (delicate floral, herbal sweetness); Humulene (woody, hoppy, earthy complexity)
The Experience- Common Effects
Happiness; relaxation; creativity; sociability; gentle body high; stress relief; quieting of racing thoughts; maintained focus at moderate doses
The Experience- Duration
2-3 hours for flower; gentle taper rather than abrupt drop-off; higher doses or concentrates may prolong effects and increase drowsiness; vaporization can extend duration slightly
The Experience- Onset
Onset within minutes; initial cerebral lift with gentle euphoria, mood brightening, no racing thoughts; creative impulses surface early; social inhibitions soften. Progression over 15-30 minutes brings physical relaxation, muscle loosening, warm tingling sensation while mind remains clear and engaged
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth (cottonmouth); dry eyes; mild dizziness at higher doses; potential paranoia in sensitive individuals or with excessive consumption; stay hydrated
Strain Type
Hybrid
Not Recommended For
High-stakes tasks requiring precision; operating machinery; early morning productivity (for most users); situations requiring sharp mental acuity or quick reaction time
Lineage and Origins
Cross of Cosmic Candy x Apple Fritter; breeder unknown. Cosmic Candy (Lavender x Bubble Gum) contributes floral sweetness and balanced effects; Apple Fritter (Sour Apple x Animal Cookies) adds potent apple pastry aromatics and high resin production. Developed circa 2010s-2020s.
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 20-26% typical range, with exceptional batches reaching 28%; CBD: minimal, usually <0.5% and often <0.1%; Minor cannabinoids: CBG 0.3-0.8%, CBC 0.1-0.3%; Total active cannabinoids typically 22-28%
Comparable Strains
Apple Fritter (direct parent, higher THC 22-32%, more indica-heavy, less floral sweetness); Wedding Cake (dessert profile with cookie genetics, more vanilla/earthy, creamier finish); Gelato (balanced hybrid, berry/citrus dominant, slightly more physical relaxation); Sunset Sherbet (fruit-forward, citrus/sherbet notes, shorter duration, less body relaxation); Purple Punch (sweet/fruity, grape/berry dominant, more sedating, evening-only)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Moderate resilience; not particularly pest-prone; some mold susceptibility if humidity exceeds 50% in late flower; handles nutrient stress reasonably; performs best with balanced feeding; avoid nitrogen overfeeding in late flower
Cultivation Flowering Time
63-70 days (9-10 weeks); some phenotypes finish faster when leaning toward Cosmic Candy genetics
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 10-15 oz per plant in optimal conditions; Outdoor: 14-16 oz per plant in suitable climates; medium to high yield depending on phenotype and method; excellent for hash and concentrate extraction
Cultivation Plant Structure
Medium height with vigorous lateral branching; responds well to topping, LST, and SCROG; moderate stretch during flower transition; dense colas may require support
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense, slightly sticky buds; visible frosty trichome coverage; vibrant lime to olive green with rust-orange pistils and occasional purple accents; strong aromatic presence before breaking apart; clean cure with no grassy/hay off-notes; smooth burn producing white ash
