About Grapefruit
Grapefruit (originally derived from an elite Cinderella 99 selection or the British Columbia Sweet Pink Grapefruit clone) is an historic sativa-dominant cultivar celebrated for its mouth-watering citrus flavor. Stabilized for seed production in Europe by Ferry of Female Seeds and Steve Tuck, Grapefruit produces dense, light green colas with golden-orange hairs coated in glistening trichomes. The fragrance is uncannily authentic—exploding with freshly sliced ruby-red grapefruit, sweet tropical mango, sour citrus zest, and subtle floral spice. It delivers a fast-acting, mood-elevating cerebral buzz that inspires creative flow, social warmth, and active motivation without physical heaviness.
