High Pressure
Also known as: High Pressure OG
High Pressure Strain Overview
High Pressure is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. It represents a carefully balanced genetic cross that combines the relaxing qualities of indica varieties with the cerebral stimulation of sativas.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds that typically display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, indicative of its high cannabinoid content. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation techniques including training methods to maximize yield.
High Pressure has developed a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts for its reliable effects and complex aromatic profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced characteristics. The strain's name references both its potent effects and the dense bud structure that appears almost compressed under the weight of its own resin production.

High Pressure Strain Growing Information
High Pressure is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. It exhibits moderate height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. High Pressure responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain requires good air circulation to prevent mold in its dense buds and benefits from careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when it develops heavy resin production.
