sativa-dominant strainIrie
Irie is a regular, sativa-dominant strain from French Touch Seeds. The breeding combines Kasper Diesel, a line based on NYC Diesel, with Juanita La Lagrimosa. Two documented phenotypes differ in structure and maturation time; both share a distinct apple aroma with a subtle diesel note.

Editorial profile
Irie in detail
Origin & classification
According to the source, Irie is the first regular strain from French Touch Seeds. Its breeding foundation is Kasper Diesel × Juanita La Lagrimosa. Kasper Diesel is described as a cross based on Soma’s NYC Diesel, while the Juanita clone used originates from Spain and is said to be known for its high CBD content. The normalized family tree condenses these details into Juanita La Lagrimosa × NYC Diesel and should therefore be supplemented with the intermediate line actually named.
Aroma & taste
The strain is listed as 75 percent Sativa and 25 percent Indica. The description of two phenotypes is particularly informative. A more compact, indica-like form develops heavy resin coverage and reaches maturity after approximately 75 days. The sativa-like phenotype requires around ten days longer, but the source associates it with better performance. What “performance” specifically encompasses remains open and should not automatically be interpreted as a higher yield.
Terpene profile
A general flowering time of 78 days or eleven to twelve weeks is also given. These values broadly fit the described phenotypic range, but show that the development period should not be reduced to a single date. For outdoor cultivation, the source states a harvest around mid-October. All timeframes come from the breeder-related description and may vary under different conditions.
Effect tendency
Both phenotypes share a clear aromatic motif: apple takes center stage, accompanied by a subtle diesel note. The source describes Irie as intensely fragrant, aromatic and widely noticeable. So far, only Diesel is recorded in the structured fields, causing the characteristic apple component to be lost. Individual terpenes are not documented; a chemical explanation of the aroma would therefore not be substantiated.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
No reliable individual values are available for Irie’s effects or cannabinoid profile itself. The high-CBD reputation of Juanita La Lagrimosa must not automatically be transferred to every Irie plant. Specific yield figures and detailed cultivation instructions are likewise absent. The robust profile is based on the regular seed form, the clearly described breeding history, two different maturation types and their shared apple-diesel aroma. Irie therefore offers specific genetic and phenotypic information without requiring unsubstantiated potency or effect claims.
