Cloud #9
Cloud #9
Also known as: Cloud Nine, Cloud 9 (Note: Different from Dampkring's Cloud 9)
Overview
Cloud #9 is a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Dinafem Seeds as an evolution of their popular Critical+ strain. Created by crossing Critical+ with JYD Haze, this strain was designed to increase psychoactive effects while maintaining manageable flowering times and improving resistance to environmental stresses. The strain emerged from Dinafem's effort to address users who had grown tired of Critical+'s effects over time, seeking to enhance both flavor complexity and potency. Cloud #9 exhibits improved resin production, enhanced aromatic profiles, and stronger effects compared to its Critical+ parent. The plant demonstrates vigorous growth with long branches and can reach impressive heights of up to 3 meters when grown outdoors. The strain typically flowers in 60-70 days and produces high yields, making it attractive to both commercial and home cultivators. Note that this strain should not be confused with the similarly named Cloud 9 from Dampkring Seed Bank/Kiwiseeds, which is a different strain entirely with NYC Diesel and Milky Way genetics.

Growing Information
Cloud #9 is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has a flowering time of 60-70 days indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by mid-October. Plants can grow quite large, reaching up to 3 meters outdoors, and benefit from support structures to prevent branch breakage in strong winds. The strain produces high yields with good resin production. Some phenotypes may flower slightly longer due to the Haze genetics, and growers are advised to allow these plants to fully mature for optimal flavor and potency. The plant exhibits vigorous growth with strong branching patterns and benefits from training techniques. Indoor cultivation requires adequate space due to the plant's stretching tendency.
