Cabin Fever
Also known as: Cabin Fever OG
Cabin Fever Strain Overview
Cabin Fever is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. The strain gained popularity among medical and recreational users seeking potent relaxation effects. Its name reflects the cozy, introspective experience it provides, reminiscent of being snowed in during a winter storm. Breeders developed Cabin Fever specifically for its strong sedative properties and distinctive aromatic profile.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a silver-white appearance. The flowers are often dark green with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the compact bud structure, creating visual contrast. Cabin Fever's buds are known for their sticky texture and heavy density, making them particularly resinous when handled.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, woody notes with subtle sweet undertones. The strain has gained a reputation among users for its powerful body relaxation effects that can be overwhelming for novice consumers. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, Cabin Fever maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in areas where it was originally developed.

Cabin Fever Strain Growing Information
Cabin Fever is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce larger harvests in optimal conditions.
The plant tends to stay relatively compact, making it suitable for indoor growing spaces with height restrictions. Indoor plants typically reach 3-4 feet in height, while outdoor plants can grow 4-6 feet tall. Cabin Fever prefers a controlled environment with stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Growers should monitor for mold and mildew, particularly in the dense bud structure during the final weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation may enhance the terpene profile.
