Block Knocker
Also known as: Block Knocker OG
Block Knocker Strain Overview
Block Knocker is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily through West Coast breeders in the United States. The strain gained attention for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile, though its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles. It is generally considered a well-balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica dominance in its effects, despite its genetic composition.
The strain's name references its reputation for delivering powerful, 'knockout' effects that some users describe as particularly relaxing. Block Knocker typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The nugs are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's aroma is one of its most distinctive features, combining earthy, diesel-like notes with sweeter undertones.
Block Knocker has maintained a niche following among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its strong effects and complex terpene profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it can be found in certain dispensaries and through specific breeders who have continued to work with its genetics. The strain's effects are typically described as coming on quickly with cerebral stimulation before settling into more physical relaxation, making it suitable for evening use.

Block Knocker Strain Growing Information
Block Knocker is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with limited vertical clearance. Block Knocker responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues in humid conditions.
