Apple Drops

Apple Drops – Grounded Genetics

Apple Drops by Grounded Genetics is a modern feminized hybrid genetics created from the cross of Fritter Licker (Apple Fritter x Face Off OG Bx2) x RS11. The Fritter Licker mother used originates from a selection by Roots Farms and combines Apple Fritter with the Face Off OG line from Archive Seed Bank. Grounded Genetics subsequently crossed this selected genetics with RS11 to create Apple Drops, which was first presented at Spannabis 2024.

The genetic combination brings together two distinct modern US directions. Fritter Licker combines sweet fruit notes with a deep earthy gas side, while RS11 adds further candy, Sherbert and dessert nuances to the cross. The interplay between Apple Fritter, Face Off OG and RS11 forms the foundation of Apple Drops' complex aromatic profile.

Apple Drops is a photoperiod cannabis strain that can be grown both indoors and outdoors. The flowering time is approximately 9 weeks. Aromatically, Apple Drops primarily combines sweet fruit, baked goods and sweet dough with creamy dessert notes and a deep earthy-gassy base. The fruity and sweet side of the Fritter Licker mother is complemented by the candy and Sherbert influences of RS11, while Face Off OG contributes stronger earthy and gassy accents. The result is a multifaceted modern US aromatic profile ranging from sweet fruit and baked goods to creamy dessert and distinctive gas.

If you want to narrow the choice quickly, start with the line that fits your direction best. Blue Fizz and Zilk Road are strong places to begin for sweeter Z Road-linked hybrids. Easy Money and Rainbow Fuel make more sense if the louder fuel side stands out first. Pink Limez, Raspberry Z, and Vitamin Z are useful if bright citrus, fruit, and candy directions matter most.
