Editorial profile

Rotten Apple in detail

Origin & classification

Rotten Apple is a hybrid strain from Lemon Butter Cream × Jet A. Perfect Tree is named as the breeder of this strain. With up to 27 % THC, Rotten Apple clearly falls within the very strong range. CBD plays more of a supporting role at up to 1 %.

Aroma & flavour

Rotten Apple’s aroma is primarily apple, earthy, sweet and sour. Limonene and Myrcene complement this impression well and give the profile additional depth. The combination of sweeter and classically spicy notes makes the strain more distinctive than many smoother standard hybrids.

Terpene profile

Rotten Apple is generally described as mood-enhancing, relaxing and balancing in its effects. This is precisely what often makes the strain interesting: it does not lean in just one direction, but engages both mind and body.

Effect tendency

The flowering time is given as around 56 days. This places Rotten Apple closer to modern dessert strains than classic old-school lines. In cultivation, it is also generally described as manageable and not unnecessarily complicated. Many sources do not describe the strain as one-dimensional, but as potent without a single aspect taking centre stage.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

Rotten Apple is therefore particularly suited to people who want to experience aroma and effects together in as balanced a way as possible. Fans of modern dessert and exotic lines are likely to find many familiar elements here.

Further classification

The flowering time is recorded as approximately 56 days. In terms of cultivation, Rotten Apple appears more accessible than particularly difficult. This makes Rotten Apple feel less like a purely exotic profile and more like a strain with clear practical appeal. Aromatically, it moves between apple, earthy, sweet, sour and fruity notes. Rotten Apple is neither purely heavy nor purely active, but combines mood-enhancing, relaxing and balancing effects. The genetics of Lemon Butter Cream x Jet A give the profile its direction. What is interesting about Rotten Apple is the interplay between sweet, fruity notes and the more classic earthy, spicy base. Limonene and Myrcene provide additional clues as to why the aroma profile is not defined by individual flavour notes alone. This balance is precisely what makes Rotten Apple interesting: the strain reads as neither purely heavy nor exclusively stimulating.
