Medi Escobar
Also known as: Escobar OG, Medi Escobar OG
Medi Escobar Strain Overview
Medi Escobar is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily within the medical cannabis community. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been developed by crossing OG Kush genetics with an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly from the Bubba Kush family. The name 'Escobar' references the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, though the connection is purely nominal rather than indicating any direct lineage or historical relationship. The 'Medi' prefix suggests its development for medical applications, though this strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. Medi Escobar plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain is noted for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, diesel-like notes with subtle sweet undertones.
Medi Escobar has remained somewhat niche in the broader cannabis market, with limited commercial availability compared to more mainstream strains. Its reputation centers on providing a balanced yet potent experience that combines physical relaxation with cerebral effects. The strain's relative obscurity means that consistent phenotypic expressions can vary between growers, and comprehensive laboratory testing data is less abundant than for more widely cultivated varieties. As with many cannabis strains named after controversial figures, Medi Escobar's nomenclature has drawn occasional criticism, though it persists within certain cultivation circles.

Medi Escobar Strain Growing Information
Medi Escobar is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, 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 to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to manage the bushy growth pattern and improve light penetration. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
