Rotten Apple
Rotten Apple is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Jet-A. Characterized as a strain of moderate cultivation difficulty, it performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 56-day flowering period. Its notable genetic legacy is highlighted by the development of the Rotten Apple Triploid, marking it as a significant contributor to current breeding programs.
The chemical profile of Rotten Apple is defined by a complex terpene sequence that begins with dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and linalool. The secondary and tertiary layers of its aromatic and flavor profile include isopulegol, limonene, humulene, and beta-pinene. This specific arrangement of compounds creates a distinct sensory experience that reflects the unique intersection of its parental genetics.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, the strain is sought after for its ability to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These qualities make it a practical selection for individuals managing stress and pain, or for those seeking assistance with sleep. The balance of its reported psychoactive and physical impacts secures its utility as a versatile option within the medical and recreational landscape.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
