Alpine Rocket
Alpine Rocket
Overview
Alpine Rocket is a predominantly indica strain developed by SwissSeeds, a Swiss seed company. This hardy variety has its origins traced to the Alps and the Middle East (Vorderorient), making it well-adapted to high-altitude cultivation up to 1,000 meters above sea level. The strain represents a connection to traditional Alpine cannabis genetics with strong, robust growth characteristics.
SwissSeeds developed Alpine Rocket as an outdoor-focused cultivar designed to thrive in challenging mountain conditions. The strain has been used as breeding stock for various hybrid crosses and is noted for its resilience and ability to grow in direct sunlight to partial shade conditions. While comprehensive analytical data is limited, user reports describe it as having relaxing effects typical of indica-dominant varieties, with some noting fruity, spicy, earthy, sour, and piney flavor characteristics.
