Ocean Water
Also known as: Ocean Water OG
Ocean Water Strain Overview
Ocean Water is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, primarily within the West Coast cannabis community. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources attributing its development to boutique breeders in California who sought to create a strain with distinctive terpene profiles reminiscent of coastal environments. While documentation is limited, the strain appears to have gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique aromatic qualities and balanced effects.
The strain's name derives from its complex flavor and aroma profile, which many users describe as having aquatic, briny notes combined with more traditional cannabis terpenes. Visually, Ocean Water typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. The flowers often display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of milky-white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually quite resinous, contributing to their sticky texture and potent effects.
Notable features of Ocean Water include its distinctive terpene combination that creates an unusual sensory experience compared to more common cannabis varieties. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Due to its relative rarity, Ocean Water is not widely available in commercial markets and is more commonly found in specialty dispensaries or through small-batch growers who have preserved the genetics.

Ocean Water Strain Growing Information
Ocean Water is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more 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 tends to produce moderate to high yields when properly cultivated, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
Ocean Water adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. The plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet when grown indoors, while outdoor plants can grow slightly taller. This strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting that Ocean Water responds well to organic feeding regimens. The strain also benefits from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light exposure and improve yields.
