Hoodwink Strain Overview
Hoodwink is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. What is known suggests it was created by crossing two established strains to produce a balanced hybrid with distinctive characteristics. The name 'Hoodwink' reflects the strain's deceptive nature—while appearing unassuming in some respects, it delivers potent effects that can surprise inexperienced users.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure. Hoodwink's flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that create visual contrast. The foliage tends to be dark green with broad leaves characteristic of indica-dominant genetics, though the plant structure shows sativa influences in its branching pattern.
Notable features of Hoodwink include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced characteristics. Due to its limited commercial availability, Hoodwink remains primarily a strain cultivated by home growers and small-scale producers rather than a mainstream commercial variety. Its rarity means that verified information about the strain can be difficult to obtain, and some details may vary between different growers' expressions of the genetics.

Hoodwink Strain Growing Information
Hoodwink is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-180 cm, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions, as Hoodwink can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and excessive humidity during flowering. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a proper curing process to develop their full flavor profile.
