Chronchitis
Also known as: Chronic Bronchitis, Chronch
Chronchitis Strain Overview
Chronchitis is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's name is a playful reference to its reputation for causing a heavy, chesty sensation that some users describe as reminiscent of bronchitis symptoms, though this is purely descriptive rather than medical. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, Chronchitis appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely developed through selective breeding of heavy indica varieties.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Chronchitis plants tend to be relatively short and bushy with broad leaves, consistent with its indica genetics. The strain is noted for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle sweet undertones.
Chronchitis has developed a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts for its powerful sedative effects, which many users describe as deeply relaxing and physically immobilizing. The strain's potency and specific effect profile have made it particularly popular among experienced users seeking strong relief from various symptoms. However, due to its intensity, it is generally not recommended for novice consumers or those sensitive to THC's effects.

Chronchitis Strain Growing Information
Chronchitis is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 100-150 cm in height, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training). Chronchitis is somewhat sensitive to humidity and requires good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
