Comfortably Numb
Also known as: Comfortably Numb OG
Comfortably Numb Strain Overview
Comfortably Numb is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the classic indica-dominant OG Kush with the sativa-dominant Blue Dream. The strain's name references the Pink Floyd song and accurately describes its signature effect: a deeply relaxing, body-focused experience that leaves users feeling detached from physical discomfort. First appearing in the early 2010s in California's medical cannabis scene, Comfortably Numb gained popularity among patients seeking relief from chronic pain and insomnia while maintaining some mental clarity.
The strain produces medium to large buds with a dense, indica-like structure covered in a generous coating of trichomes. The coloration typically features deep forest green nugs with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The aroma profile is complex, combining the fuel-like pungency inherited from OG Kush with sweet berry notes from its Blue Dream lineage. When properly cured, the buds emit a skunky, earthy scent with subtle fruity undertones.
Comfortably Numb is particularly noted for its balanced cannabinoid profile and consistent effects. While primarily known for its physical relaxation properties, it maintains enough cerebral stimulation to prevent complete sedation in most users. The strain has become a staple in many medical cannabis programs and is appreciated by both novice and experienced consumers for its predictable, manageable effects and versatile applications.

Comfortably Numb Strain Growing Information
Comfortably Numb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with strong lateral branching. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
