Duct Gum
Also known as: Duct Gum OG
Duct Gum Strain Overview
Duct Gum is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain is believed to have been developed by underground breeders seeking to combine the potent effects of classic OG varieties with unique aromatic profiles. Its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis cultivation circles, contributing to its somewhat elusive status among commercial growers and dispensaries. The name 'Duct Gum' reportedly references both the strain's sticky resin production and its ability to 'stick' to various growing environments.
The strain exhibits characteristics typical of balanced hybrids, with dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The flowers often display deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are notably dense and resinous, living up to the 'gum' portion of its name through their sticky texture. While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Duct Gum has maintained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex terpene profile and balanced effects.
Notable features include its adaptability to various growing conditions and its relatively consistent expression of traits despite its somewhat uncertain lineage. The strain's rarity means that comprehensive laboratory testing data is limited compared to more commercially prevalent varieties. Cultivators who have worked with Duct Gum note its resilience and moderate growth patterns, making it suitable for growers with intermediate experience levels. The strain's obscurity has preserved some of its genetic uniqueness in an era of increasingly homogenized commercial cannabis genetics.

Duct Gum Strain Growing Information
Duct Gum is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit moderate height, typically reaching 120-160 cm indoors and 180-220 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and implementing moderate nutrient regimens as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
