Color Out of Space

Color Out of Space is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.

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.
