Afternoon Delight by Crockett Family Farms
Tangie × GMO × Trophy Wife
Afternoon Delight is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Crockett Family Farms, recognized for its balanced profile that combines classic citrus notes with contemporary dessert-like qualities. It is designed to offer an uplifting experience suitable for daytime use without being overly sedating.
Appearance
This strain typically presents medium-sized colas with a structure that leans towards airy or medium density, featuring a good calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flowers are often lime to sage green, adorned with amber-orange pistils and a noticeable frosting of trichomes, particularly towards the end of the flowering period. Buds can appear sparkling and slightly greasy, with visible trichome stalks under good lighting.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Afternoon Delight often features a bright lemon zest and sweet orange peel scent, complemented by a mild creaminess and a distinct diesel undertone. Upon combustion, the flavor profile typically starts with a brisk lemon-lime taste that transitions into notes of light diesel and a peppery spice. The overall aroma and flavor can vary, with some phenotypes leaning more towards a savory diesel character.
Effects
Afternoon Delight is generally associated with uplifting and clear-headed effects, making it suitable for daytime activities. Users often report feeling more alert and experiencing a cheerful mood lift. While it provides a functional euphoria, it is noted for a low incidence of heavy sedation or couch-lock when consumed in moderate amounts, promoting creativity and focus.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab percentages vary, Afternoon Delight commonly exhibits high total terpene content, often ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% and sometimes higher. Dominant terpenes frequently include Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Myrcene, with potential contributions from Humulene and Linalool. THC levels typically fall between 15-25%, with CBD content usually below 1%.
Growing
This strain generally requires careful environmental control, especially in the late flowering stages, to achieve optimal bud structure and resin production. It is noted for its trichome development, which begins early and continues throughout the flowering cycle. The airy-to-medium dense bud structure can help mitigate mold risks while preserving terpene integrity.
Origins & Lineage
The original Afternoon Delight cultivar was bred by Crockett Family Farms, a breeder known for its Tangie-forward, aromatic hybrids. It is considered a mostly sativa-leaning hybrid with significant influence from the Tangie family, emphasizing citrus and fruit notes. A notable phenotype, Afternoon Delight #4, popularized by Rythm, is a hybrid of GMO and Trophy Wife, introducing a spicier, diesel-forward profile.
