Humboldt Fogg
Also known as: Humboldt Fog
Humboldt Fogg Strain Overview
Humboldt Fogg is a hybrid cannabis strain named after the famous Humboldt County region in Northern California, known for its legendary cannabis cultivation and distinctive coastal fog patterns. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis circles, but it is generally believed to be a cross between classic West Coast genetics, potentially involving strains like OG Kush and other local California varieties. The name references both the geographic region and the hazy, fog-like appearance of the trichome-covered buds.
The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s as part of the Northern California cannabis scene, though it remains less widely distributed than some other Humboldt-bred varieties. Humboldt Fogg is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a range of green hues with occasional purple undertones, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the flowers their 'foggy' appearance. The nugs are typically compact with orange pistils weaving through the calyxes.
Humboldt Fogg represents a balanced hybrid expression that combines the cerebral effects of sativa genetics with the physical relaxation of indica heritage. The strain is noted for its complex terpene profile that reflects the diverse growing conditions of its namesake region. While not as commercially widespread as some other California strains, Humboldt Fogg maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its regional character and well-rounded effects.

Humboldt Fogg Strain Growing Information
Humboldt Fogg is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in Mediterranean-like climates similar to its Humboldt County origins. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light penetration. Humboldt Fogg is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly in humid environments. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and produce their best expression when not overfed.
