Old Soul
What is the Old Soul strain?
Old Soul is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and herbal flavor profile.
Old Soul is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that has maintained popularity among traditional cannabis enthusiasts for its reliable effects and straightforward genetics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the late 1990s or early 2000s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Breeders sought to create a strain that captured the essence of traditional indica varieties before the proliferation of modern hybrid breeding, resulting in a plant that offers a quintessential indica experience with minimal sativa influence.
Visually, Old Soul typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a classic indica structure. The flowers are often dark green with occasional purple hues that can become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the compact flower formations. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and the mature, earthy aroma profile that develops as the buds cure.
Old Soul is known for its consistency and reliability rather than extreme potency or novel characteristics. The strain has maintained a following among users who appreciate traditional cannabis experiences without the sometimes overwhelming effects of modern high-THC hybrids. While not as commercially prominent as some contemporary strains, Old Soul continues to be cultivated by home growers and specialty producers who value its predictable effects and straightforward cultivation requirements.

How do you grow Old Soul?
Old Soul is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in temperate climates with consistent sunlight. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if given space. Old Soul responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve yield. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering phase when dense buds can develop. Nutrient requirements are standard for indica varieties, with some growers reporting that the plants benefit from slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to enhance terpene production.
