Coco Loco
Also known as: Coco Loco OG
Coco Loco Strain Overview
Coco Loco is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of popular West Coast genetics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but most sources trace it to California's cannabis breeding scene, where it gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. Breeders sought to combine the relaxing qualities of indica varieties with the cerebral stimulation of sativas, resulting in this well-rounded hybrid.
Visually, Coco Loco plants produce dense, resinous buds with a characteristic appearance. The flowers typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the tightly packed calyxes, while a thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its aromatic qualities, though the 'coco' element is more metaphorical than literal.
Coco Loco is noted for its complex terpene profile that creates a multi-layered sensory experience. The strain has gained particular recognition among connoisseurs for its smooth smoke and balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Coco Loco maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in legal markets where craft cannabis is valued.

Coco Loco Strain Growing Information
Coco Loco is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with vertical limitations. Coco Loco responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
