Ocean Storm
Also known as: Ocean Storm OG, Ocean Storm Kush
Ocean Storm Strain Overview
Ocean Storm is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by crossing two prominent West Coast genetics: Ocean Grown Cookies and Storm OG. This combination brings together the dessert-like qualities of the Cookies family with the potent, relaxing effects of OG Kush varieties. The strain gained popularity in California medical and recreational markets before spreading to other regions.
Visually, Ocean Storm typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette. The flowers often display deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and its aromatic profile, which many users describe as reminiscent of ocean air mixed with earthy, fuel-like notes.
Ocean Storm is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention among connoisseurs for its complex terpene profile and consistent quality when grown under optimal conditions. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Ocean Storm has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among users who appreciate its unique combination of flavor and effects.

Ocean Storm Strain Growing Information
Ocean Storm is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should implement training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Ocean Storm prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with moderate humidity and consistent temperatures. The strain is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds develop. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting that the strain responds well to slightly reduced feeding during the final weeks of flowering to enhance flavor development.
