Grape Fruit Smalls -SATIVA-

"Grapefruit Smalls" refers to the smaller buds of the cannabis strain Grapefruit. The term "smalls" is a common industry label for flower buds that are smaller in size than the "premium" or larger colas. They come from the same plant and offer the same effects, aroma, and flavor profile as their larger counterparts, but are typically sold at a lower price.

 

 

 

Grapefruit Strain

 

Grapefruit is a classic sativa-dominant hybrid strain. It is a variant of the popular Cinderella 99 and is well-loved for its distinctive citrus aroma and energizing, clear-headed effects.

 

 

 

Genetics and Appearance

 

  • Lineage: The exact lineage of Grapefruit is debated, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype of Cinderella 99 with a prominent grapefruit flavor. Some sources also suggest it is a cross between a specific clone of Cinderella 99 and a landrace sativa from Thailand or Mexico.

  • Appearance: Grapefruit buds are often fluffy and elongated, with a loose structure typical of a sativa. They are usually a light, vibrant green with noticeable orange or amber pistils and a light dusting of trichomes.

     

 

Aroma & Flavor

 

  • Aroma: True to its name, this strain has a very powerful and tangy citrus aroma. The scent is dominated by notes of sharp, fresh grapefruit, which are often complemented by hints of tropical fruit and a slightly earthy or skunky undertone.

  • Flavor: The flavor profile is a direct reflection of the aroma. On the inhale, you get a rush of tart and sweet grapefruit, followed by a smooth, citrusy, and slightly spicy exhale.
