OB-1
Also known as: OB1, Obi-Wan
OB-1 Strain Overview
OB-1 is a hybrid cannabis strain named after the Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi, reflecting its reputation as a 'forceful' strain with balanced effects. The exact genetic lineage of OB-1 is somewhat debated within cannabis communities, with most sources suggesting it is a cross between the indica-dominant hybrid Blueberry and the sativa-dominant hybrid Haze. This combination creates a well-rounded hybrid that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s among medical and recreational users seeking a versatile option that could be enjoyed at various times of day.
Visually, OB-1 plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense, conical structure typical of its Blueberry heritage. The flowers display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky white trichomes. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending sweet berry notes from its Blueberry parent with the sharp, spicy undertones characteristic of Haze varieties. When properly cured, the buds emit a pungent scent that carries hints of earth and pine.
OB-1 is known for its balanced effects that begin with an uplifting cerebral buzz before transitioning to a gentle body relaxation. This progression makes it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on dosage and individual tolerance. The strain has developed a following among users who appreciate its consistent performance and reliable effects, though it remains less commercially widespread than some of its parent strains. Growers value OB-1 for its moderate resistance to common pests and molds, though it requires careful attention to nutrient levels and environmental conditions to reach its full potential.

OB-1 Strain Growing Information
OB-1 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. OB-1 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in temperate climates with consistent sunlight. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage. Maintaining proper humidity control (40-50% during flowering) helps prevent mold issues in the dense buds.
