French Toast (also known as French Bread, Blueberry French Toast, Alien French Toast, and Stuffed French Toast) may sound like the ultimate tasty strain for breakfast time, but in fact, its effects are better suited for a lazy evening due to its heavy indica influence. Still, that is not to say that you won’t enjoy a nice, euphoric high should you choose to partake earlier in the day, however. With a flavor that totally lives up to its name, it’s also one of the most irresistible reaches on the market by far. Let’s take a closer look at French Toast, since we’re pretty sure that you will enjoy working it into your rotation of cultivars.

French Toast Basics

French Toast is an indica-dominant hybrid, with a genetic profile of about 60% indica / 40% sativa – quite balanced, but just a bit more indica-like in terms of its effects. It’s the result of crossing Paris OG with Face Off OG BX2, and its THC level ranges from 24%-29%. Keep in mind that these days, you’re more likely to discover the THC level on the higher end of the spectrum, and that’s intensely potent, so basically, you will need to take your tolerance into account before selecting this cultivar.

Bud Characteristics

French Toast’s buds are large and shaped like plump grapes, with a beautifully rich forest-green color and a very dense bud structure. It has long, light orange hairs, and it’s covered in a nice layer of creamy white trichome crystals, offering a milky appearance that’s really pretty to look at.

Growing French Toast Seeds

French Toast can be grown indoors or outdoors, but depending on the cultivator, flowering can range up to 72 days. It does prefer a desert-like environment, as it has mainly been grown under these conditions for over 10 years now. Tons of direct sunlight, coupled with lower humidity levels is key for it to grow properly.

  • Indoors: Flowering period is typically 9-10 weeks but can be as early as just several weeks for more established growers. Yields are approximately 1-2 OZ/FT2. Note: You must maintain optimum conditions by investing in good equipment.
  • Outdoors: Yields are modest at 2-3 OZ/Plant and can be harvested near late October.

Flavor & Aroma

French Toast has a flavor that you won’t be able to get enough of – trust us on that. Unsurprisingly, it has surprisingly on-point notes of French toast, with bready undertones and sweet maple syrup – even a hint of buttery creaminess. The aroma has the same notes, with some green herbal notes, earthiness, and warm spices. Overall, sweetness is very dominant, to the delight of anyone with a sweet tooth.

French Toast Strain Uses and Effects

Let’s talk about some of the most common therapeutic uses for French Toast, as well as what kind of partakers out there would enjoy it the most. This strain has the kind of terpene profile that’s absolutely ideal for anyone with stress or anxiety, who could really use a break from their anxious thoughts and negative self-talk. It’s commonly suggested on the medicinal market for people with all kinds of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and OCD – as well as those who are just stressed out and need to chill.

In terms of its physical effects, this strain is particularly recommended for those with muscle spasms, as its terpene profile is uniquely antispasmodic. It can also help with general tension in the muscles and joints, helping the body feel a lot looser and at ease. Meanwhile, thanks to its heavy THC level, it’s a generally good strain for people who have a high tolerance, and want to enjoy a nice, substantial high without having to smoke a whole lot of bud. With its indica dominance, it’s probably best enjoyed in the evening, when you can sit back and relax. Remember, this is also a heavy “munchies” strain.

What Can You Expect When Taking French Toast?

So, what does the actual high have in store, for those who are just looking to try French Toast from a purely recreational standpoint? Well, you won’t be disappointed. Because of its outstanding THC level, you can expect a high that hits you almost instantly, as soon as you’re done exhaling, and goes in heavy right off the bat. You’ll notice almost immediately that you’re no longer bothered by whatever was worrying or irritating you just moments ago. A sense of euphoria makes its way into your awareness, so that nothing can possibly get you down for the next couple of hours.

Meanwhile, its body high is every bit as rewarding, with a feeling of intense relaxation as the feeling of joy keeps soaring in your mind. This can bring you into couchlock if you’re relatively new to cannabis. By the end, you’ll be in a state of intense hunger, reaching for snacks as the munchies hit you hard, while feeling dazed and relaxed for a nice little while after the initial peak eventually wears off.
