Down to Pound Strain Overview
Down to Pound is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent, high-yielding variety with balanced effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure within the broader cannabis community, it gained recognition through underground networks before becoming more widely available through select seed banks and clone services.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that exhibit a deep green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, typical of hybrid varieties. Down to Pound has gained particular attention for its robust growth patterns and reliable performance under various cultivation conditions.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and consistently high cannabinoid production. The strain's name reflects both its potent effects and the substantial yields it can produce when cultivated properly. While not among the most famous mainstream strains, Down to Pound has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and reliable cultivation characteristics.

Down to Pound is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere.

The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and thrives in controlled indoor environments. It exhibits moderate height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Down to Pound responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. The plant has good resistance to common molds and pests but requires adequate airflow during the flowering stage due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
