OCHO

OCHO is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

OCHO is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the California cannabis scene. The strain's name, which means 'eight' in Spanish, reportedly refers to its eight-week flowering period or possibly to the number of parent strains involved in its complex lineage, though the exact origin story varies among different sources. Breeders developed OCHO by crossing multiple elite genetics, though the specific parent strains remain somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, with some sources suggesting it contains genetics from OG Kush, Chemdawg, and various other West Coast favorites.

The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The nugs are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. OCHO's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, diesel-like notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor tends to be gassy and piney with hints of lemon on the exhale.

While not as widely documented as more commercial strains, OCHO has maintained a cult following among certain cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to deliver both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for various times of day. Growers value OCHO for its resin production and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements, though its rarity means it's less commonly available in dispensaries than more mainstream hybrids.
