Halo
Also known as: Halo OG, Halo Kush
Halo Strain Overview
Halo is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its well-rounded effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but most sources trace it to a cross between the legendary OG Kush and an undisclosed sativa-dominant parent, possibly Haze or a similar uplifting variety. This genetic combination creates a plant that offers both the physical relaxation associated with indica varieties and the cerebral stimulation characteristic of sativas.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers are often light to medium green in color with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives Halo a frosty appearance. The plant's aroma is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor profile delivers a smooth smoke with hints of lemon, pine, and spice on the exhale.
Halo has become known among cannabis enthusiasts for its versatility and balanced effects. The strain typically flowers in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors and is considered moderately challenging to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Halo has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its harmonious combination of physical and mental effects.
