Afterburner
Also known as: After Burner
Overview
Afterburner is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has been developed by multiple breeders, creating some confusion in the cannabis community regarding its exact genetics and characteristics. The most documented version comes from Third Eye Genetics, created as a complex cross between (Trainwreck × Jet Fuel G6) and (Gorilla Glue #4 × Jet Fuel G6). This strain is classified as mostly sativa, requiring approximately 70 days of flowering time and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The strain has gained attention for its high potency and fast-acting effects, earning its name from the intense, long-lasting experience it provides users. Visually, Afterburner buds typically display dense, frosty appearances with high resin content, featuring colors ranging from deep forest greens to purple undertones, often accented by fiery orange pistils. The strain's complex genetics contribute to its robust terpene profile and significant therapeutic potential, though it remains relatively rare and information about specific phenotypes can vary between different cultivations.

Growing Information
Afterburner is considered moderately easy to grow but requires proper attention and frequent trimming. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with outdoor cultivation requiring a dry, temperate climate protected from frost and excessive moisture. Flowering time is approximately 70 days (10 weeks), making it more suitable for patient growers rather than those seeking quick harvests. The strain exhibits good yield potential when grown under optimal conditions, though specific yield data is limited. Indoor cultivation is often preferred for better environmental control and to maximize the strain's potency and terpene expression.
