BIG Grapefruit

Cannabis Strain by Female Seeds

Introduction
BIG Grapefruit from Female Seeds is the XXL-scaled version of the Dutch genetics company's celebrated Grapefruit strain—one of the early 2000s' most distinctive citrus-forward sativas—with the 'BIG' designation indicating enhanced yield selection in a mostly-sativa hybrid completing in approximately 56 days of flowering.

Lineage
Female Seeds is a Netherlands-based cannabis genetics company known for quality feminized genetics, and Grapefruit is one of their signature achievements—a sativa-dominant hybrid developed from Cinderella 99 genetics that delivers an intensely citrusy, grapefruit-forward aromatic profile with uplifting, energetic sativa effects. Cinderella 99 (C99) was developed by Mr. Soul of Brothers Grimm Seeds in the 1990s from Jack Herer × Shiva Skunk selections, producing a unique pineapple-citrus aromatic and cerebral, fast-finishing sativa-hybrid character. Female Seeds' Grapefruit took the citrus element of C99 genetics and amplified it toward grapefruit specifically, winning Cannabis Cup recognition. BIG Grapefruit selects for enhanced yield and plant size while maintaining the characteristic grapefruit terpene profile. The 56-day flowering period is efficient for mostly-sativa genetics.

Terpenes
The terpene profile is Grapefruit's defining feature: terpinolene and limonene create the intensely fresh grapefruit citrus aromatics—the sharp, slightly bitter citrus peel combined with fruity sweetness characteristic of actual grapefruit. This is one of cannabis's most immediately recognizable and distinctive citrus profiles.

Growth
Growth at 56 days for mostly-sativa genetics is efficient due to the C99 genetic contribution, which accelerated the flowering timeline without sacrificing sativa character. BIG selection produces larger plants and heavier yields.

Effects
Reported effects deliver Grapefruit/C99's famous character: uplifting, cerebral, creative, and energizing—one of the cannabis world's most celebrated daytime sativa experiences.
