Citrus Sap
Citrus Sap
Overview
Citrus Sap is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed through a collaboration between Crockett Family Farms and DNA Genetics. This strain is the result of crossing two renowned parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Tangie. The genetic combination brings together the potent, resin-rich qualities of Gorilla Glue #4 with the vibrant citrus characteristics of Tangie, creating a unique hybrid that offers both mental stimulation and physical relaxation. Citrus Sap typically expresses a 70% sativa and 30% indica genetic profile, though despite its sativa dominance, it produces notable indica-like effects alongside its energizing properties.
The strain produces dense, sticky buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright green colors punctuated by orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that resembles sap. The buds range from small to medium size and showcase the classic structure associated with cannabis cultivation. Citrus Sap is characterized by its high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant resin production, making it particularly appealing to extract producers. The strain typically flowers within 8-10 weeks and is known for producing above-average yields, making it a rewarding choice for both novice and experienced cultivators who can provide the appropriate Mediterranean-like climate conditions it prefers.

Growing Information
Citrus Sap is considered an intermediate-level strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plant thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better climate control. It prefers a warm, semi-humid Mediterranean-like climate with temperatures between 70-80°F. The flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (60-70 days), with harvest typically occurring in late October for outdoor grows. Indoor yields average 450-700 grams per square meter (14-18 ounces), while outdoor plants can produce 600-1400 grams per plant (18+ ounces). The plants exhibit vigorous growth reaching moderate height and benefit from training techniques like topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and SOG (Sea of Green) methods. Regular pruning is recommended to manage the bushy structure and ensure proper light penetration. The strain has moderate resistance to pests and mold but requires regular monitoring and preventive measures due to its dense foliage.
