Apple Bottom Squirt by Brain Dead Beans
Unknown × Unknown
Apple Bottom Squirt is a hybrid cannabis cultivar developed by Brain Dead Beans, a breeder recognized for creating flavor-focused hybrids. This strain is characterized by a sensory profile that combines orchard fruit notes with bright citrus accents, aiming for a balanced experience.
Appearance
Apple Bottom Squirt typically produces dense, hybrid-leaning buds with a good calyx-to-leaf ratio, which aids in trimming and enhances visual appeal. Stigmas often appear in shades of orange or apricot, contrasting with the green hues of the flower. Cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering may encourage the development of purple or violet coloration due to anthocyanin expression.
The buds are noted for heavy trichome coverage, featuring bulbous heads and medium-length stalks, making them suitable for extraction methods like rosin pressing. When properly dried and cured, the flowers can exhibit a frosted, sticky appearance, indicating a desirable resinous quality.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Apple Bottom Squirt is a blend of sweet green apple and zesty citrus peel, reminiscent of a candy shop or orchard. Secondary aromatic layers may include hints of vanilla cream, subtle floral notes, or a light herbaceous quality, depending on the specific phenotype. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a combination of fruit-sweetness and bright zest.
The name suggests a profile that balances apple-like sweetness with the vibrant splash of citrus, potentially evoking notes of orange soda or tangerine. The finish can present as creamy, candy-like, or lightly herbal, contributing to a complex sensory experience.
Effects
As a hybrid, Apple Bottom Squirt is reported to offer a balanced experience that can lean towards relaxation or upliftment, influenced by factors such as dosage, phenotype, and method of consumption. At modest doses, it is described as accessible for daytime use while maintaining potency.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The THC content for Apple Bottom Squirt typically ranges from 15% to 25%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is suggested to include compounds that contribute to its fruity and citrusy aroma and flavor. These may include Limonene, which provides citrus notes, and potentially others like Terpinolene, Ocimene, and Valencene, contributing to the overall aromatic complexity.
Origins and Lineage
Apple Bottom Squirt was bred by Brain Dead Beans, a boutique breeder known for its focus on flavor-forward crosses and novel genetics. While the specific parent strains have not been formally disclosed, the name implies a lineage combining an apple-forward cultivar with a citrus-forward line, possibly one nicknamed 'Squirt'.
This hybrid cultivar emerged in the early to mid-2020s, aligning with a market trend towards flavor-first hybrids. Its development reflects a breeder's effort to combine distinct fruit and citrus terpene profiles within a hybrid structure suitable for various cultivation environments.
Growing
Apple Bottom Squirt is a hybrid cultivar with adaptable growth characteristics, suitable for indoor and controlled environments. It is expected to have medium internode spacing and a moderate-to-high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which can simplify trimming. The flowering time for hybrids of this type typically falls within the 56–70 day range.
Breeders often select for traits such as a terpene ceiling above 2.0%, extraction-friendly trichome heads, and a dense yet open flower structure to resist mold. Phenotypic variation is expected, offering growers opportunities for pheno hunting. Resin yields for similar strains can range from 15-25% for rosin from flower and 3-6% for fresh frozen washes.
