Raphael is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from Blueberry Cookies. Cultivated for both indoor and outdoor environments, this plant requires a moderate level of expertise to manage throughout its 67-day flowering cycle. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which has established its own genetic footprint by serving as the parent of Strawberry Cream.

The chemical profile of Raphael is characterized by a complex hierarchy of twelve distinct terpenes, led by limonene, caryophyllene, and nerolidol. These are followed in concentration by linalool, pinene, humulene, beta-pinene, and camphene, with trace amounts of myrcene, ocimene, terpinolene, and gamma-terpinene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds defines the sensory experience, balancing citrus-forward limonene with the spiced and floral undertones provided by the subsequent terpenes in the profile.

As a THC-dominant hybrid, Raphael is primarily utilized to support users seeking a relaxed, happy, and uplifted state of mind. Its therapeutic application serves as an effective option for the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. By balancing these clear physical and cognitive effects with its notable lineage, the strain remains a functional choice for those prioritizing specific relief and mood regulation.
