What is the Old Fashion strain?

Old Fashion is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Old Fashion is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained a cult following among enthusiasts seeking traditional, classic effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s. Breeders reportedly aimed to create a strain that captured the essence of older, landrace indica varieties before the proliferation of modern high-THC hybrids, focusing on balanced effects and complex flavor profiles rather than maximum potency.

The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a classic indica structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented by deep purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of frosty trichomes and exhibit vibrant orange pistils. Old Fashion is noted for its distinctive aroma that combines earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice, creating a complex olfactory profile that many users describe as reminiscent of traditional cannabis varieties from previous decades.

While not as widely available as commercial mainstream strains, Old Fashion has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and traditional characteristics. The strain represents a deliberate departure from the trend toward extreme THC percentages, instead emphasizing a well-rounded experience that many users find more manageable and enjoyable for regular use. Its relative rarity has contributed to its status as a sought-after strain within certain cannabis communities, particularly among those interested in heritage and heirloom varieties.

How do you grow Old Fashion?

Old Fashion is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.

The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it tends to perform particularly well in temperate climates with consistent sunlight. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet when grown indoors (with training) and can stretch to 6-7 feet outdoors. Old Fashion responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.

Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The plants benefit from good air circulation and may exhibit color changes (purpling) when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting that the strain responds well to organic growing methods that enhance its complex terpene profile.
