Chubby
Also known as: Chubby OG
What is the Chubby strain?
Chubby is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Chubby is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain gained popularity for its distinctive appearance and powerful sedative effects, with some breeders suggesting it may have connections to OG Kush genetics through various indica landraces. Its name derives from the characteristically dense, chunky buds that develop during flowering, which often appear swollen and compact compared to many other indica varieties.
Visually, Chubby presents with medium to large-sized buds that are exceptionally dense and resinous, featuring a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils, creating a striking contrast. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending earthy and pine notes with subtle undertones of citrus and spice, while the flavor experience tends to emphasize the earthy and woody characteristics with a smooth, slightly sweet finish.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Chubby has maintained a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts who appreciate its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. The strain's genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a favorite among certain growers, though it remains less common in large-scale commercial operations than more established indica varieties.

The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates.

Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150cm indoors and 150-200cm outdoors.
