Fallout
Also known as: Fallout OG, Nuclear Fallout
What is the Fallout strain?
Fallout is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Fallout is a moderately potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Chemdawg with an unknown OG Kush phenotype, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the cerebral effects of sativa genetics with the physical relaxation typical of indica varieties. Its name references both its potent effects and the distinctive appearance of its buds, which are often densely coated in trichomes that resemble radioactive fallout.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds that are typically dense and conical in structure, with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick layer of frosty trichomes covers the flowers, giving them a shimmering, crystalline appearance that contributes to the strain's visual appeal. Fallout's foliage tends to be dark green with occasional purple hues that may emerge in cooler growing conditions, particularly during the final weeks of flowering.
Fallout gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in California and Colorado where it was first cultivated. The strain's genetics have also been used in breeding programs to create other popular hybrids, though Fallout itself remains somewhat of a connoisseur's choice rather than a mass-market product.

How do you grow Fallout?
Fallout is considered a moderate-difficulty 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 average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching that benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST).
Fallout prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) and temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C). The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and mold but require good air circulation, particularly during the dense flowering phase. Nutrient requirements are average, though the strain responds well to phosphorus-rich fertilizers during flowering. Some phenotypes may exhibit nutrient sensitivity, so gradual feeding is recommended.
