BOP
Also known as: BOP Kush
BOP Strain Overview
BOP is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily within specific regional cannabis communities, particularly in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The name 'BOP' is an acronym whose exact meaning is debated among cultivators and enthusiasts, with some suggesting it stands for 'Best of the Pacific' or 'Buds of Plenty,' though no definitive origin for the name has been established by breeders. The strain's history is somewhat obscure, with its development attributed to underground breeding projects in Oregon and Washington state during the late 2000s, focusing on creating a resilient, high-yielding plant with a complex aromatic profile.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that exhibit a deep forest green coloration, often accentuated by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The foliage tends to be a lighter green, with leaves displaying a mix of broad and slender fingers, indicative of its hybrid genetics. A notable feature of BOP is its pronounced aroma, which combines earthy, fuel-like undertones with sweeter, fruitier top notes, creating a distinctive scent profile that many users find memorable.
While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, BOP has maintained a consistent following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique flavor. Its cultivation is reported to be relatively straightforward, contributing to its popularity among home growers in regions where it is available. The strain's exact genetic lineage remains partially proprietary or undocumented in public seed banks, which adds to its somewhat enigmatic status within the cannabis community.

BOP Strain Growing Information
BOP is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in the Northern Hemisphere are typically ready for harvest by mid to late October. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams or more per plant. BOP adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in a temperate, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent sunlight. Plants exhibit a medium height, usually staying between 4 to 6 feet tall, with a bushy structure that may require some pruning and training (like low-stress training) to improve light penetration and airflow. It is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but benefits from good ventilation and humidity control, especially during the late flowering stage.
