What is the Old Spice strain?
Old Spice is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pepper flavor profile.
Old Spice is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain with a rich history dating back several decades. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the 1970s or 1980s, where it gained a reputation among local growers and connoisseurs for its distinctive aromatic profile and potent effects. The name 'Old Spice' references its complex, spicy fragrance that some users compare to traditional men's cologne or a blend of exotic spices and herbs.
Visually, Old Spice plants typically produce dense, resinous buds with a deep green coloration often accented by purple or blue hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange or rust-colored pistils. The strain is known for its robust growth structure and relatively high resistance to common pests and mold, making it a favorite among certain cultivators.
While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, Old Spice maintains a dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciate its traditional genetics and consistent effects. The strain represents an older generation of cannabis breeding before the proliferation of countless modern hybrids, offering a glimpse into the genetic heritage of indica varieties. Its preservation is valued by those interested in cannabis history and landrace genetics.

How do you grow Old Spice?
Old Spice is considered a moderately difficult 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. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain relatively compact for an indica, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and implementing proper nutrient management, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Some phenotypes may benefit from cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering to enhance coloration.
