Greasy Inferno
Also known as: Inferno Grease, Greasy Fire
Greasy Inferno Strain Overview
Greasy Inferno is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains, Grease Monkey and Hellfire OG, combining the heavy resin production of Grease Monkey with the potent effects and distinctive terpene profile of Hellfire OG. Breeders sought to create a strain with exceptional trichome coverage and complex flavor while maintaining balanced hybrid effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic use.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a distinctive appearance due to the heavy coating of sticky, amber-colored trichomes that give it a 'greasy' texture. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds have a tight, indica-dominant structure but maintain some sativa-like branching patterns. Greasy Inferno's most notable feature is its exceptional resin production, making it popular among concentrate producers and extract artists.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Greasy Inferno has developed a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex terpene profile and balanced effects. The strain's genetics combine the best traits of its parent strains, resulting in a plant that is both aesthetically impressive and consistently potent. Its relative rarity in commercial markets means it is primarily available through specialty growers and select dispensaries in legal cannabis markets.

Greasy Inferno Strain Growing Information
Greasy Inferno is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant exhibits hybrid growth patterns, reaching a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and up to 180 cm outdoors. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation often enhances the terpene profile. Greasy Inferno prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) and temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F).
Special considerations include the need for good air circulation due to the dense bud structure, which can be prone to mold in humid conditions. The heavy trichome production makes this strain particularly susceptible to pests like spider mites, requiring vigilant monitoring. Training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) can significantly improve yields and light penetration. The plant's greasy resin can make trimming challenging, with many growers opting to freeze trim or use specialized trimming equipment.
