Marine Layer
Marine Layer Strain Overview
Marine Layer is a relatively modern cannabis strain developed by the Humboldt Seed Company, a respected breeder based in California's famed Emerald Triangle region. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: Humboldt Dream (a local favorite indica-dominant hybrid) and OG Eddy Lepp (a potent sativa-dominant strain). This genetic combination results in a balanced hybrid that showcases characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage. The strain's name references the coastal fog banks common to Northern California's cannabis-growing regions, which help moderate temperatures and create ideal growing conditions.
Visually, Marine Layer plants produce dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones and a distinctive coastal freshness that some users describe as reminiscent of ocean air.
Marine Layer has gained recognition for its balanced effects and reliable performance. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and is ready for harvest by mid-October in outdoor environments. Plants exhibit moderate height with good lateral branching, making them suitable for various growing techniques. While not considered a beginner strain due to its specific needs, Marine Layer responds well to experienced cultivation practices and can produce substantial yields when given proper care.

Marine Layer Strain Growing Information
Marine Layer is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks, while outdoor plants are ready for harvest around mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and benefits from the coastal conditions suggested by its name. Plants reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) with good lateral branching that responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Yield is above average with proper care, producing dense, resinous buds. Marine Layer performs well both indoors and outdoors but requires good air circulation to prevent mold in humid conditions. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and diseases but benefit from preventive measures.
