Resilience, flavor and potency! Dense buds brimming with trichomes, flavor and potency
Velvet Octane showcases strong lateral branching that helps to support large cola development in later stages of flowering. The complex terpene profile dominated by beta-myrcene and beta-caryophyllene is expressed through sharp and pungent gassy fumes accompanied by a deep essence of spicy black pepper and lemon citrus.
Strong cerebral effects are accented by a strong terpene combination that creates a very long-lasting high, which makes this strain great for end-of-day use.
Rapid growth during early stages of the vegetative cycle make for larger, more vigorous growth than the standard OG Kush cultivars. Nutritional demands are higher than average but nitrogen consumption remains modest. An awesome yielder. An energetic OG Kush that doesn't mess around.
Indoors, 6-9 plants are acceptable per square meter contingent on pot size and veg time. The early stages of flowering will require thinning of the canopy to allow for better light penetration once the canopy closes off. Thorough cleaning of growth beneath primary and secondary layers of canopy is essential to maximize bud production.
Direct flowering after a few weeks from germination is acceptable for Sea Of Green growing. Trellising is required for both indoor and outdoor cultivation to assist in later stages of development.

Strain FAQ
Why do some cannabis strains smell and taste peppery?
The peppery taste derives from Caryophyllene, a distinct terpene and cannabinoid. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system, particularly CB2 receptors.
What is the history of these early-finishing strains?
Many of these strains are descendants of landrace strains that evolved in certain regions over generations. Breeders have used these old genetic features to generate hybrids that flower early and offer new tastes, effects, and disease resistance.
Why has Afghan Kush historically been used to produce hashish?
Afghan Kush's high resin content is due to its long history of hashish farming. The strain's sticky, resinous buds are reportedly ideal for manufacturing charas and other traditional hash forms which is a cultural custom in the area.
Do indica strains have more CBD?
Indica cultivars are often thought to be CBD-rich, however their cannabinoid makeup varies. Due to their terpene and cannabinoid compositions, they are said to provide a calming, tranquil body buzz.
How do tall cannabis strains absorb light well?
These plants absorb light well due to their height and open form. This growth pattern allows light to enter the canopy, boosting photosynthesis and plant uniformity.
