Irene Apricot

Irene Apricot is a indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 18-24% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Irene Apricot high creeps in gently before wrapping the whole body in heavy relaxation — expect softened shoulders, slowed thoughts and a warm couch-lock that deepens as the session goes on. A gentle mental uplift keeps the mood bright the whole way through, so the physical heaviness never tips over into fogginess. These combined effects make Irene Apricot a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Irene Apricot has a delicious pine and skunk flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a skunk finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Irene Apricot offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in around 8 weeks, at home in controlled indoor setups. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Irene family — see Ole Betsy x Irene Alien OG and RKS 91 x Irene Alien OG for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
