Fuego
Also known as: Fuego OG, Fuego Kush
Fuego Strain Overview
Fuego is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, most sources suggest it likely emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, possibly as a phenotype selection from OG Kush lineage. The strain's name, which means 'fire' in Spanish, reflects its reputation for delivering intense, high-quality effects that many users describe as exceptionally potent.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. Fuego's buds are often medium to large in size and maintain a compact structure, with leaves that may display subtle purple hues when grown under optimal conditions, particularly during cooler nighttime temperatures.
Fuego has become known for its well-rounded effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. Its popularity has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations in cannabis communities, though it remains less documented in official strain databases than some more established varieties. The strain's relative obscurity in formal breeding records means some details about its development remain uncertain.

Fuego Strain Growing Information
Fuego 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 late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Fuego plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation and monitoring humidity levels closely during late flowering, as the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding.
