Brick House Strain Overview
Brick House is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain, though it is often described as indica-dominant in its effects. Its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure, with breeders and seed banks offering varying accounts. The most commonly cited lineage suggests it is a cross between the classic indica strain Northern Lights #5 and the potent hybrid strain Haze, a combination that aims to blend deep physical relaxation with a clear, uplifting cerebral effect. The strain's name is thought to reference its robust, dense bud structure and its reputation for delivering a solid, grounding high.
The strain's appearance is characterized by medium to large, tightly packed buds that are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues, depending on growing conditions. A thick coating of frosty white trichomes and a generous sprinkling of orange pistils are typical. The aroma is complex and pungent, often described as a blend of earthy, woody notes with a distinct skunky undertone and subtle hints of sweet citrus or pine on the exhale. The flavor profile generally mirrors the aroma, offering a smooth smoke that transitions from earthy and spicy to a slightly sweet, herbal finish.
Brick House is noted for its well-rounded effects that begin with a cerebral euphoria and mental clarity, which gradually gives way to a deep, full-body relaxation without heavy sedation for most users. This makes it a versatile strain for evening use. Its potency can vary, but it is generally considered a strong strain. Due to its somewhat murky breeding history and the prevalence of similarly named phenotypes, specific characteristics like exact terpene profiles can differ between growers and batches.

Brick House Strain Growing Information
Brick House is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing, though it thrives in a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. The plants tend to be of medium height with a bushy, indica-influenced structure, making them manageable for indoor spaces with some training (e.g., topping, Low Stress Training). The flowering time is approximately 8 to 10 weeks. Growers can expect a moderate to high yield of dense, resinous buds. Outdoor harvests in the Northern Hemisphere typically occur in late September to early October. The plants are relatively resilient but require good airflow to prevent mold due to the density of the buds. Nutrient feeding should be moderate, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding.
