Novacane
Also known as: Nova Cane, Novocaine
Novacane Strain Overview
Novacane is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix, known for its powerful effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was created by crossing the popular Gelato #41 with a selected phenotype of the exotic Triangle Kush. This genetic combination results in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both its indica and sativa heritage, though it typically leans slightly toward the indica side in its effects. The name 'Novacane' is a reference to the numbing, analgesic-like sensation that many users report experiencing.
The strain's appearance is visually striking, featuring dense, resinous buds that often display a deep purple hue, particularly in cooler growing conditions. These buds are typically covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils, giving them a colorful and appealing look. The plant structure is relatively compact with strong branching, making it suitable for various cultivation setups. Novacane has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced yet potent effects.
Notable features of Novacane include its complex terpene profile and consistent performance across different phenotypes. While specific lineage information is well-documented, some variations in phenotype expression have been reported by growers. The strain has become particularly favored by experienced users seeking strong relaxation effects without complete sedation, though novice consumers should approach it with caution due to its high THC content.

Novacane Strain Growing Information
Novacane is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature and humidity, which can enhance the purple coloration. Plants tend to stay relatively medium in height, reaching between 3 to 5 feet tall when grown indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14 to 18 ounces per square meter. The strain requires good air circulation and benefits from regular pruning to manage its bushy growth structure. Nutrient needs are average, though some growers recommend slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to prevent nutrient burn. Novacane is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but thrives best in stable environmental conditions.
