Color Out of Space
Also known as: Color Out of Space OG, Space Color
Color Out of Space Strain Overview
Color Out of Space is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that draws its name from H.P. Lovecraft's 1927 cosmic horror short story of the same name. The strain was reportedly developed by breeders seeking to create a visually striking cultivar with potent effects. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, it is generally understood to be a carefully selected phenotype from a larger breeding project, possibly involving OG Kush genetics. The strain has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique appearance and reported effects, though it is not as widely available as more commercial varieties.
The strain is noted for its distinctive visual presentation, which often includes deep purple and violet hues that can appear almost black in certain lighting conditions, contrasted with vibrant orange pistils. These colors are most pronounced when plants are exposed to cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The name appropriately reflects the otherworldly coloration that can develop, reminiscent of the alien colors described in Lovecraft's tale.
Color Out of Space produces a complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, piney notes with subtle hints of berries and citrus. The flavor is often described as smooth and slightly sweet on the inhale, with a more pungent, diesel-like exhale. The effects are reported to be balanced, beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation. Due to its relative rarity and specific growing requirements to achieve its signature coloration, this strain is more commonly found in boutique dispensaries and among home growers who appreciate its unique characteristics.

Color Out of Space Strain Growing Information
Color Out of Space is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature can be carefully managed, particularly during the final weeks of flowering when cooler temperatures (around 15-18°C/59-64°F) help develop the signature purple coloration. Outdoor growing is possible in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate phosphorus and potassium during flowering to support color development. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
