Also known as: Gypsy Soap OG
Gypsy Soap Strain Overview
Gypsy Soap is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the underground breeding scene in the early 2010s. The exact origins are somewhat obscure, with breeders intentionally maintaining secrecy about its genetic lineage to preserve its mystique. What is known is that it was developed by independent breeders who focused on creating a strain with unique aromatic properties and balanced effects. The strain gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its distinctive terpene profile and complex effects that bridge the gap between cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.
The strain's name reflects its aromatic characteristics, which users describe as having a clean, soapy quality reminiscent of artisanal bar soaps, combined with deeper earthy and herbal undertones. Visually, Gypsy Soap typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosted appearance. The nugs are often tightly packed with a slightly spongy texture when properly cured.
Gypsy Soap is noted for its balanced hybrid effects that begin with a cerebral uplift before transitioning to gentle physical relaxation. The strain has maintained a niche reputation rather than achieving widespread commercial popularity, which has contributed to its relative scarcity in mainstream cannabis markets. Its unique terpene profile sets it apart from more common strains, making it a subject of interest for terpene enthusiasts and those seeking distinctive aromatic experiences.

Gypsy Soap Strain Growing Information
Gypsy Soap is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them manageable for indoor setups with limited vertical space. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
