Dried Fruit by Cookies Seed Bank

Dried Fruit is a flavorful hybrid cannabis strain born from the expert breeding of Cookies Seed Bank. A powerful fusion of Irene OG, Zkittlez, and Gelato 41, this strain combines the intense aroma and unique terpene profile of its parents with a robust and manageable structure. With roots dating back to some of the most iconic strains, Dried Fruit combines heritage and innovation into an unforgettable experience. Its genetics offer a balance of 50% sativa and 50% indica, making this strain a favorite among growers and cannabis connoisseurs alike.

What is Dried Fruit like?

The Dried Fruit plant is as visually striking as it is potent, displaying dense buds that glisten beneath a heavy coating of resinous trichomes. Its leaves are a deep, dark green, often with a hint of deep purple, and the buds display bright orange pistils that contrast beautifully with their frosted appearance. This compact structure, inherited from Gelato 41, makes it ideal for growers who want high yields without overly large plants. Branching is substantial yet controlled, making it an excellent candidate for training techniques that maximize yield and resin production.

Flowering Time and Yield

With a flowering time of just 7 to 9 weeks indoors, Dried Fruit keeps things fast-paced without compromising quality. It's a strain that rewards patience with high yields, averaging 400-450 g/m² indoors and up to 500 g/plant outdoors when grown in optimal conditions. Growers can expect robust, high-quality seeds that produce thick, resin-filled buds, ideal for concentrate lovers. Outdoors, Dried Fruit reaches its peak around late September or early October, allowing for a productive and efficient harvest in warm climates.

Effects and Aroma

Dried Fruit's effects are a blend of energy and relaxation, creating a balanced experience that begins with a gentle wave of cerebral euphoria and settles into a calming, soothing state for the body. With THC levels around 26%, it's a potent but not overwhelming strain, perfect for social gatherings or unwinding after a long day. Expect bursts of creativity and laughter, followed by a serene, grounded finish.

As for its aroma, Dried Fruit lives up to its name and then some. Each toke delivers an explosion of fruity and nutty flavors with creamy, almost dessert-like undertones. Notes of tropical fruits, almonds, and a hint of gas blend into a complex terpene profile that lingers deliciously on the palate. The smoke is thick and aromatic, making each session a complete sensory experience for cannabis lovers who appreciate rich, layered flavors.

Growing Tips and Our Opinion

For those looking to grow Dried Fruit, we recommend giving this strain a well-prepared setup with a little extra care, as it has a moderate level of difficulty when it comes to growing. Thanks to the Gelato 41 influence, this strain shows solid resistance to pests and diseases, helping to keep problems to a minimum. Still, preventative measures are a smart choice, especially outdoors, where bugs like mites or caterpillars can be a problem.

Dried Fruit thrives both indoors and outdoors, but truly shines in warm, sunny environments with low humidity, where its terpene profile and yield potential can reach their peak. Indoors, it's important to ensure good air circulation and humidity control to prevent mold on the dense, resinous buds. Keeping a close eye on the 7-9 week flowering period maximizes potency and flavor.

We love its adaptability; with proper training techniques, even growers with small spaces can achieve a bountiful harvest. Its manageable structure and resilience make it a solid choice for those willing to invest a little attention and achieve exceptional results.
