Flavor Crystals is a hybrid strain created by Compound Genetics, a breeder that has been putting out strains in Portland Oregon since 2017. The flavors of spicy grape, herbs, and citrus are reflected in the strain’s genetics, which heavily favor Indica (70/30) in a cross between Grape Pie and Legend Orange Apricot strains. The smoke of the strain is sweet and the effects are relaxing, arousing, and mind-buzzing. The plants have a medium maximum growth and the yields are average, flowering in around 63 to 70 days, which is a bit on the long side. What the strain lacks in quantity, however, it makes up for in flavor.

With THC levels around 17-18%, Flavor Crystals provides a satisfying high for both newcomers and experienced users. Its terpene profile emphasizes myrcene, caryophyllene, ocimene, and limonene. This gives it its unique herbal and spicy overtones, with a sweet citrusy aftertaste. Users will feel their mouth water on the strain as they reach for snacks, in a haze that’s both euphoric and giggly. The Flavor Crystals strain provides an easy-going sensation of sociability, relaxation, and morning motivation. We definitely recommend getting it in as early as possible to use its effects throughout the early afternoon. Using it too late can cause anxiety and restlessness.

The strain’s flavors range from sour citrus to sweet fruit to spicy herbs. You’ll be able to detect scents of oranges, fresh earth, grapes, and spice. They add to the strain’s feelings of buzzing, relaxing arousal, slight sedation, and hunger. The urge to eat, plus the tingling benefits of relaxation, make the strain a great start to any morning, as well as a great recovery buddy after a hard week or a tough round of treatment.

The strain’s effects have many purported uses, which include feelings of a stimulated appetite as well as reduced feelings of depression. The strain’s flavors and terpenes add to its feel-good sensations while you eat, relax, and get your day going. Some consumers report an anti-inflammatory effect resulting from the spicy terpene mix, which can have a relieving effect for certain users. Astute users will be able to pick up sweet herbs like lavender on the exhale, which is a well-known stress-reliever.

The Flavor Crystals body buzz is quickly becoming infamous among Indica lovers, as is its fruity, appetite-increasing, depression-relieving bodily impact. The flowering time may be extended, but the strain is well worth the wait, if you like sour citrus-fueled euphoria and the good ol’ fashioned sense of just feeling happy all the time.
