Lupe
Also known as: Lupe OG, Lupe Kush
Lupe Strain Overview
Lupe is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The exact origins of Lupe are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. Most sources suggest it emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis scene, likely as a phenotype selection from existing OG Kush genetics. The strain's name is believed to reference either a specific breeder's nickname or a geographical location, though this remains unconfirmed.
Visually, Lupe typically presents with dense, conical buds that display a striking contrast between dark forest green foliage and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy, pine-forward notes with subtle citrus undertones and a distinct chemical funk characteristic of many OG varieties. When properly cured, the buds emit a pungent scent that intensifies when broken apart.
Lupe is known for producing well-balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's relatively high THC content combined with its diverse terpene profile creates what users describe as a 'functional' high that doesn't typically lead to excessive sedation. Due to its limited commercial availability, Lupe remains primarily found in boutique dispensaries and among home growers who have preserved its genetics.

Lupe Strain Growing Information
Lupe is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. Lupe prefers a Mediterranean climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow due to dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Both indoor and outdoor cultivation are possible, though indoor growing allows better environmental control.
