Hippie Dropper
Also known as: Hippie Dropper OG
Hippie Dropper Strain Overview
Hippie Dropper is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with potent effects and distinctive flavor characteristics. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, it is generally accepted to be a cross between classic West Coast genetics, with some sources suggesting OG Kush and Blue Dream lineage, though this remains unverified by the original breeders.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast sharply against the darker foliage. Hippie Dropper plants tend to have a moderate to high resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Hippie Dropper has gained recognition for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain's name references its reputation for producing strong effects that can be overwhelming for inexperienced users. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Hippie Dropper has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor profile and reliable effects.

Hippie Dropper Strain Growing Information
Hippie Dropper is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage for optimal development.
