Flapjacks
Also known as: Flap Jacks, Flap Jack, Flap Jax, Flapjack
Overview
Flapjacks is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by In House Genetics, emerging in the competitive cannabis breeding scene around the mid-2010s. This strain represents a meticulous breeding achievement that combines Macflurry (a cross between MAC 1 and Slurricane #7) with Pancakes (a blend of London Pound Cake 75 and Kush Mints 11), creating a complex genetic profile that incorporates notable strains from multiple lineages. The strain was developed during an era when breeders increasingly focused on balancing potent effects with enriched flavor profiles, and Flapjacks quickly gained recognition among connoisseurs for its exceptional quality and experimental approach to genetics.
Visually, Flapjacks produces dense, chunky buds covered in milky white trichomes that give them a frosted appearance reminiscent of powdered sugar. The flowers display beautiful olive green coloration with deep purple accents and vibrant amber hairs curling through each nug. During flowering, growers can expect rapid development of long, spear-like leaves and highly resinous buds that require gloves for handling due to their sticky, syrup-like texture. The strain's bag appeal is enhanced by its soft purple yet dense flower structure, making it visually striking and photogenic. Flapjacks represents a rare genetic blend that has resulted in unique character traits, making it particularly sought after by strain hunters and collectors who appreciate premium exotic cultivars.

Growing Information
Flapjacks is considered relatively easy to cultivate, adapting well to almost any growing environment and medium, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain is beginner-friendly despite its MAC 1 parent being challenging to grow. It has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (approximately 61 days) and is available as feminized photoperiod seeds. The plant exhibits multi-branching characteristics and responds well to training techniques such as SCROG, topping, and low-stress training, which can increase yields and boost terpene potential. Growers can expect generous yields typical of In House Genetics strains, with plants producing sticky, resin-rich buds that develop rapidly during flowering.
