Also known as: Oishii OG
Oishii Strain Overview
Oishii is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The name 'Oishii' comes from the Japanese word meaning 'delicious' or 'tasty,' reflecting the strain's notable flavor profile. Breeders developed this strain by crossing two well-known West Coast varieties, though documentation about its precise genetic lineage is limited compared to more mainstream strains. Oishii has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often have a slightly conical structure with tight calyx formation. When properly cured, Oishii buds break apart with a satisfying snap and release their complex aroma profile.
Notable features include its balanced hybrid effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users, along with its complex flavor profile that combines sweet, fruity, and earthy notes. The strain's rarity means it's not widely available in commercial markets but is sometimes found in boutique dispensaries or through specialized growers. Its moderate THC levels make it accessible to both novice and experienced users when available.

Oishii Strain Growing Information
Oishii is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. 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 northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant.
The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Oishii responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation often enhances the flavor profile. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during the flowering phase.
Special considerations include the need for good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may require support during late flowering as buds become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
