El Ponche Strain Overview
El Ponche is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Compound Genetics through crossing Purple Punch with La Bomba (Wedding Cake x Jet Fuel Gelato). This powerful strain represents the marriage of two greenhouse superstars, combining the sweet grape and berry characteristics of Purple Punch with the creamy, gassy, and OG flavor notes contributed by La Bomba. The strain was specifically bred to create a mold-resistant, fast-finishing plant that produces beautiful purple buds with exceptional bag appeal.
El Ponche exhibits the visual appeal typical of Purple varieties, featuring vibrant purple hues complemented by dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes. The strain offers a complex aromatic profile that blends sweet grape terpenes reminiscent of its Purple Punch lineage with underlying gassy OG background notes from La Bomba. Despite being indica-dominant, El Ponche provides a unique effect profile that combines typical indica relaxation with an unexpectedly cheerful and uplifting cerebral high.
This cultivar has gained recognition for its adaptability to various growing conditions and its exceptional resistance to botrytis and other fungal issues, making it particularly suitable for climates with early rain and cold weather. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in October, producing medium to high yields with relatively easy cultivation requirements.
