Overview
Jealousy is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Gelato 41 and Sherbert BX1, developed by Seed Junky Genetics. It was named Leafly's Strain of the Year in 2022, cementing its status as one of the most sought-after modern cannabis cultivars. The strain exhibits a perfect balance of 50% sativa and 50% indica genetics, resulting in effects that are both mentally uplifting and physically relaxing.
Visually, Jealousy is striking with thick and weighty spade-shaped buds displaying a complete spectrum of colors from dark purples and blacks to bright greens, with each bud given a generous coating of resin and electric orange hairs. Under microscopic examination, the trichomes may even show a slight purple tint. The strain's vibrant colors, frosty trichomes, and unique terpene profile make it highly prized among both cultivators and consumers.
Jealousy has gained recognition not only for its exceptional visual appeal but also for being 2nd overall at the California High Times Cannabis Cup (2022) and being listed in over 1,500 cannabis dispensaries. The strain represents advanced breeding techniques that maximize the desirable characteristics of both parent strains, creating a cultivar with consistent phenotype expression and exceptional potency.

Growing Information
Jealousy is moderately difficult to grow, requiring proper nutrient management and pruning to optimize yield and resin production. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks, with some sources citing 65-70 days for complete maturation. Indoor cultivation maintains heights between 120-150cm, producing substantial yields up to 700g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor specimens can develop up to 2.2 meters, achieving exceptional yields up to 2000g per plant when properly maintained. The strain requires a warm, Mediterranean climate with ideal temperatures between 68-77°F (20-25°C). Plants need low humidity to thrive, with RH levels at 55-60% during vegetative phase, reduced to around 40% during flowering, and 30% by harvest time. Additional bracing may be required during flowering due to the density and weight of the buds.
