Papaya Bomb
Also known as: Papaya x THC Bomb, Papaya THC Bomb
Overview
Papaya Bomb is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Purple City Genetics through crossing the Papaya strain with THC Bomb. The Papaya parent strain brings genetics from Jack Herer, Skunk #1, and Kush, while THC Bomb contributes its indica-dominant characteristics and high potency. This results in an indica-dominant hybrid typically expressing a 70/30 indica-to-sativa ratio. The strain gained recognition by securing 2nd place in the Ice Water Hash category at the 2022 Emerald Cup, showcasing its quality for concentrate production. Papaya Bomb buds feature oversized, grape-shaped nugs that are vibrant neon green with golden undertones, covered in abundant orange-red hairs and a thick coating of crystal trichomes. The strain typically produces THC levels around 30.65%, with some batches testing into the high-20s to low-30s range, making it one of the more potent contemporary hybrid cultivars available.

Growing Information
Papaya Bomb is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with indoor flowering time of approximately 9 weeks and outdoor harvest typically occurring in early October. Indoor yields can reach up to 500g per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce 600-700g per plant when grown in open ground. The plant exhibits vigorous growth with a bushy, woody appearance and is highly resistant to fungal infections while tolerating both cold and heat well. Its structure makes it well-suited for SCROG cultivation, requiring 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth and showing 25-50% stretch during the transition to flowering. The strain is considered moderate difficulty to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience, and features a relatively short growing period of 8-10 weeks. Cultivation tips include supporting branches, spacing them out for optimal light penetration, and pruning lower branches to enhance overall production.
