La Hostia
Also known as: La Hostia OG
La Hostia Strain Overview
La Hostia is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that originated in Spain, though its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure. The strain's name, which translates to 'The Host' or 'The Sacrament' in Spanish, reflects its reputation for delivering a powerful, almost religious experience among users. Breeders developed this strain by crossing various OG Kush phenotypes with other undisclosed genetics, resulting in a plant that combines the best traits of its indica and sativa heritage. The strain gained popularity in European cannabis circles before spreading to other regions, though it remains less common than mainstream commercial varieties.
Visually, La Hostia plants produce dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. Bright orange pistils weave through the dense bud structure, while a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are often compact and tightly packed, reflecting their indica-dominant structure, though the sativa influence is evident in the plant's growth patterns and effects profile.
La Hostia is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain produces a pungent odor that combines earthy, diesel-like undertones with sweeter, fruitier notes. Growers report that the plants exhibit good resistance to common molds and pests, making them suitable for cultivators with intermediate experience. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, La Hostia has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique combination of potency, flavor, and balanced effects.

La Hostia Strain Growing Information
La Hostia is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Plants tend to grow to medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. La Hostia plants require good air circulation to prevent mold in their dense buds and respond well to organic nutrients. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors.
