Chilake
Also known as: Chilake OG, Chilake Kush
What is the Chilake strain?
Chilake is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Chilake is an indica-dominant cannabis strain that originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though its exact genetic origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history. The strain gained recognition in the early 2010s through underground cannabis communities and has since become a regional favorite among indica enthusiasts. Its name is believed to derive from a Native American term, though the specific linguistic origin is not well-documented in cannabis literature.
Visually, Chilake plants produce dense, conical buds with a distinctive structure that combines tight calyxes with moderate leaf coverage. The flowers typically display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to rust-colored pistils provide visual contrast. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when properly cured.
Notable characteristics of Chilake include its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mild cerebral stimulation, making it suitable for evening use. The strain has developed a reputation among growers for its resilience to common molds and pests, particularly in the humid conditions of the Pacific Northwest. While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, Chilake maintains a dedicated following in regional markets where it is appreciated for its consistent performance and distinctive terpene profile.

How do you grow Chilake?
Chilake is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and are typically ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but shows particular resilience in outdoor settings, especially in regions with cooler nighttime temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Chilake responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques to control height and increase yield. Special considerations include maintaining moderate humidity levels during flowering to prevent bud rot, though the strain has above-average resistance to powdery mildew compared to many indicas. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during the flowering phase.
