Oblivion
Oblivion Strain Overview
Oblivion is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through careful breeding to produce a well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but most sources indicate it likely descends from a cross between a potent indica and a cerebral sativa, possibly involving genetics from strains like Northern Lights or Haze varieties. Breeders created Oblivion with the goal of producing a versatile strain suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on dosage.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. Oblivion's flowers display a striking appearance with deep green foliage often accented by purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. The buds are generously coated in milky-white trichomes that give them a frosty appearance, and orange to rust-colored pistils weave throughout the dense floral clusters. The visual appeal is matched by a complex aromatic profile that develops during the flowering phase.
Oblivion has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's name reflects its ability to provide a sense of mental escape or 'oblivion' from daily stresses while maintaining enough mental clarity for functional activities when consumed in moderate amounts. Growers appreciate Oblivion for its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements and reliable performance under various growing conditions.

Oblivion Strain Growing Information
Oblivion is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Oblivion plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 180-200 cm outdoors. The plants develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching that benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure and bud development.
Special considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions, as Oblivion can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and excessive humidity during late flowering. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in nitrogen during the flowering phase. Proper air circulation is important to prevent mold in the dense buds, particularly in the final weeks of flowering. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and diseases when grown in optimal conditions.
