Ocean Rain
Ocean Rain Strain Overview
Ocean Rain is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. Breeders reportedly aimed to create a strain with coastal terpene profiles and balanced effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. The name 'Ocean Rain' reflects its distinctive aromatic profile that some users describe as reminiscent of sea air combined with floral and citrus notes.
Visually, Ocean Rain typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. A notable feature is the strain's generous trichome production, which gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The pistils (hairs) tend to be orange or amber-colored, providing visual contrast against the green background.
Ocean Rain is recognized for its complex terpene profile that combines earthy, floral, and citrus aromas with subtle oceanic notes. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, with users reporting an initial cerebral uplift followed by gradual physical relaxation. Due to its relative rarity and limited commercial availability, comprehensive information about Ocean Rain remains somewhat fragmented, with most knowledge coming from grower communities and user reports rather than formal laboratory studies or widespread cultivation.

Ocean Rain Strain Growing Information
Ocean Rain is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C). Ocean Rain responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over environmental factors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. The plants benefit from regular nutrient monitoring as they can be sensitive to nutrient burn.
