What is the Old Poison strain?

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

Old Poison is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its potent effects and distinctive chemical profile. The strain's origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources tracing it to the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. Breeders reportedly developed Old Poison by crossing classic indica genetics, though the exact parentage remains debated within cannabis cultivation circles. The strain's name reflects both its heritage as an 'old school' variety and its reputation for delivering powerful, long-lasting effects that some users describe as intensely sedating.

The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by deep green foliage interspersed with purple and orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at their potency. Old Poison's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, skunky notes with subtle undertones of pine and spice. The flavor when consumed often translates these aromatic qualities while adding a slightly sweet, herbal finish that lingers on the palate.

Notable features of Old Poison include its relatively high THC content, which consistently tests in the upper range for indica varieties, and its balanced terpene profile that contributes to both its sensory characteristics and reported effects. While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, Old Poison maintains a dedicated following among experienced users who appreciate its traditional indica qualities and reliable performance. The strain's genetics have also been used in breeding programs to develop other varieties that emphasize strong sedative effects.

How do you grow Old Poison?

Old Poison is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the heavy colas can cause branches to bend or break. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
