Also known as: Elvis OG, Elvis Kush
Elvis Strain Overview
Elvis is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but most sources suggest it emerged in the early 2010s, likely on the West Coast of the United States. Some accounts attribute its development to breeders seeking to create a strain with the potency of classic OG varieties combined with unique aromatic characteristics. The name 'Elvis' appears to be a marketing reference to the famous musician Elvis Presley, though the specific connection beyond the name remains unclear.
Visually, Elvis typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a classic cannabis structure. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. The buds are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature prominent orange pistils. The strain's aroma is one of its most distinctive features, combining earthy, pine-forward notes with subtle hints of citrus and fuel-like undertones that are characteristic of many OG varieties.
Elvis is considered a well-balanced hybrid that provides both cerebral and physical effects. Users typically report an initial uplifting, euphoric sensation that gradually transitions into a relaxing body high without causing excessive sedation in moderate doses. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatility and reliable effects. While not among the most widely cultivated commercial strains, Elvis maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis markets and among home growers who appreciate its manageable cultivation characteristics.

Elvis Strain Growing Information
Elvis is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, 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 the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, though it can adapt to various growing environments. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold and providing adequate support during flowering as buds can become dense and heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
