De Luz
Also known as: De Luz OG
De Luz Strain Overview
De Luz is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain named after the De Luz region in Southern California, an area historically known for its cannabis cultivation. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype or closely related descendant of OG Kush, a cornerstone of West Coast cannabis genetics. It gained prominence in the medical cannabis communities of California during the late 2000s and early 2010s, prized for its potent, relaxing effects and complex flavor profile.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that are forest green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty white trichomes. The aroma is a defining characteristic, blending pungent, earthy Kush notes with a pronounced fuel-like diesel undertone and subtle hints of pine and citrus. This complex scent translates directly to its flavor when consumed.
De Luz is known for its powerful, physically sedating effects that are characteristic of its indica heritage. It is considered a classic 'nighttime' strain due to its strong body relaxation. While popular in its regional heyday, it is now considered a somewhat rare or legacy strain outside of specific Californian circles, with many modern hybrids having supplanted its popularity.

De Luz Strain Growing Information
De Luz is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate. It prefers a warm, dry, Mediterranean-like climate similar to its Southern California origins, making it well-suited for outdoor growing in similar regions. Indoor cultivation is also successful with proper environmental control. Plants tend to be of medium height with a bushy, indica-typical structure. The flowering time is approximately 8 to 9 weeks. Yields are generally average to slightly above average. Growers should monitor for humidity to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration.
