Tropical Punch Strain: Effects, Benefits & Growing Tips

Tropical Punch is a sweet, flavorful hybrid cross between two infamous cannabis strains, Tropicanna Cookies and Purple Punch. With parent strains that descend from cultivars like Granddaddy Purple, Larry OG, Tangie, and GSC, it carries unmistakable gassy, kush, orange, and fruity aromas that stand out to many. Bred by G13 Labs, the Tropical Punch strain’s THC levels typically range between 23% and 25%.

The Tropical Punch strain has a gassy, fruity, orange, and tropical aroma, consisting of the following dominant terpenes:

• Terpinolene: With its herbal, citrus, and fruity scent, terpinolene may also promote stress and anxiety relief. Higher doses may be energetic and boost creativity, while lower doses may produce more sedation.
• Myrcene: Myrcene has been recognized as a terpene that emits a spicy, peppery aroma. Research studies have found that myrcene can also be helpful for relaxation and pain relief.
• Pinene: Its fresh pine scent can be a great addition to any strain. Due to the ensemble effect, its effects may vary from strain to strain. In general, pinene may promote positive cognitive functioning and support mood.

Other aromatic compounds found in cannabis that may contribute to the tropical scent of Tropical Punch are tropicana sulfur compounds (TSCs). A newly discovered class of cannabis compounds, TSCs have been linked to providing cultivars with that memorable tropical aroma.

Cannabis can affect each individual differently. However, many consumers do report similar effects from Tropical Punch. Most users say the Tropical Punch strain effects include the following:

• Focus
• Relaxation
• Euphoria
• Pain Relief

Some consumers have also noted that Tropical Punch has given them a creativity boost. Remember to ease into trying a new strain, especially one with a higher THC level. Start low and go slow, taking one to two hits and waiting 15 to 30 minutes before consuming more cannabis.

Careful not to confuse G13’s Tropical Punch strain with other varieties of the same name. Several cultivars are dubbed “Tropical Punch,” each with unique effects and chemical profiles.
