Galactica
Also known as: Galactica OG, Galactica Kush
Galactica Strain Overview
Galactica is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant OG Kush with the sativa-dominant Cinderella 99. The strain was created by breeders seeking to combine OG Kush's potent physical effects with Cinderella 99's uplifting cerebral properties. Galactica emerged in the early 2010s and gained popularity among medical and recreational users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves covered in bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure characteristic of its OG Kush lineage. Galactica's name reflects its stellar reputation among cannabis enthusiasts and its ability to produce effects that users describe as 'out of this world.'
Notable features include its strong aroma that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle hints of fuel. The strain is known for producing generous amounts of resin, making it popular among concentrate producers. Galactica has maintained consistent popularity in legal markets, particularly in North America, though it remains less common than its parent strains in many regions.

Galactica Strain Growing Information
Galactica is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Galactica prefers a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. The plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture issues. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
