Old White Tahoe
Also known as: White Tahoe OG, Tahoe OG
Old White Tahoe Strain Overview
Old White Tahoe is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that represents a specific phenotype of the classic Tahoe OG. This strain emerged from the California cannabis scene in the early 2000s, developed by breeders seeking to stabilize and enhance the desirable characteristics of the original Tahoe OG cut. The 'White' designation refers to the heavy trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosty, white appearance, while 'Old' indicates this is an established, classic version of the strain rather than a newer hybrid.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual contrast between the bright white trichomes and the deep green and purple hues of the foliage. The buds are typically compact and tightly structured, with orange pistils weaving through the crystalline surface. Old White Tahoe is renowned for its potent effects and complex aromatic profile, making it a favorite among experienced cannabis consumers seeking a strong indica experience.
Notable features include its exceptional resin production and the distinctive terpene profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes. The strain has maintained popularity in medical and recreational markets due to its reliable effects and consistent quality when grown properly. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Old White Tahoe remains a sought-after cultivar among connoisseurs and patients who appreciate its balanced yet powerful indica characteristics.

Old White Tahoe Strain Growing Information
Old White Tahoe is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
