10th Planet by Ethos Genetics
Planet of the Grapes × Quattro Kush
10th Planet is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Ethos Genetics. This cultivar gained popularity for its dense, visually appealing flowers and distinct grape-gas aroma profile. It is recognized for its balanced growth characteristics and consistent resin production.
Appearance
10th Planet produces dense, stacked flowers that commonly display deep eggplant purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler night temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. The buds are threaded with fiery orange pistils and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. The typical bud structure resembles chunky golf balls on secondary branches, with the main cola forming a tapered spear, and features a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma and flavor of 10th Planet are characterized by a prominent grape-gas profile, often described as a blend of sweet candy grape and pungent diesel. Supporting notes can include earthy, herbal, and skunky undertones, with hints of orange and pepper. This complex bouquet translates into a flavor experience that can shift from sweet grape candy to a more robust grape peel and petrol combination.
Effects
As a hybrid, 10th Planet offers a balanced effect that is neither overwhelmingly sedating nor overly stimulating. It is reported to provide a sense of euphoria and is considered a crossover cultivar that threads the needle between potent flavor and manageable effects. The strain is noted for its clear family resemblance to its lineage while expressing a distinct, balanced outcome.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages vary, dominant terpenes often found in 10th Planet include Myrcene and Caryophyllene, with Limonene and Ocimene also frequently present. Humulene may also contribute to the profile, alongside classic Kush hydrocarbon notes. The cannabinoid content typically ranges from 15-25% THC, with less than 1% CBD.
Growing Characteristics
10th Planet is known for vigorous growth and a relatively short flowering window, typically around 56-63 days. It exhibits strong apical dominance and secondary branching, creating a robust canopy. The strain is favored by commercial growers for its high calyx-to-leaf ratio, predictable internodal spacing, and stable indoor yields often reported in the 450–650 g/m² range. It generally prefers a controlled environment with moderate temperatures.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Ethos Genetics, 10th Planet is a hybrid cross between Planet of the Grapes and Quattro Kush. Planet of the Grapes contributes a grape-candy terpene profile with Chem lineage, while Quattro Kush provides classic OG/Kush structure and gas characteristics. This pairing results in a cultivar that balances the traits of its parentage, offering both familiar and distinct expressions.
