Aphrodite
Aphrodite
Also known as: Afrodite (Kannabia variant)
Overview
Aphrodite is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that exists in two main variations from different breeders. The most prominent version was bred by Mad Mark Farms in Washington State, creating a cross between Jack Herer and Black Domina genetics. Named after the Greek goddess of love and beauty, this strain is renowned for producing euphoric effects that users report can help them 'fall back in love with their life while re-discovering the beauty of their surroundings.' A separate variant spelled 'Afrodite' was developed by Kannabia Seeds using the same parent genetics but with slightly different phenotypic expressions.
The Aphrodite strain is characterized by its pine needle green coloration with dark crystalline hairs and can display highlights of purple or blue depending on curing methods. The flowers exhibit dense, resinous buds with excellent calyx-to-leaf ratios, making it particularly attractive to hash makers. Both versions maintain the sativa structure, flavor profile, and uplifting effects inherited from Jack Herer while incorporating the improved yield and shortened flowering times from Black Domina genetics. The strain typically reaches heights of 1.4-2 meters outdoors with flowering periods of 7-9 weeks.

Growing Information
Aphrodite is considered relatively easy to grow, suitable for cultivators of all experience levels. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor flowering times of 49-62 days (7-9 weeks). Outdoor plants can reach heights of 200cm (6.5 feet) with yields up to 600g per plant in optimal conditions. Indoor yields typically range around 200g per plant. The strain responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) and other training techniques. It prefers moderate to high nutrient levels and benefits from proper ventilation due to its resinous nature. The shortened flowering time compared to pure Jack Herer makes it more manageable for indoor cultivation.
