Om

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

Om is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with breeders keeping specific lineage details closely guarded. What is known is that Om was developed through selective breeding of classic indica genetics, likely involving Afghani and Kush varieties, to create a strain with pronounced relaxing effects and distinctive aromatic qualities. The name 'Om' references the sacred sound and spiritual symbol in Eastern religions, suggesting the strain's intended use for meditation and contemplative states.

Visually, Om typically produces dense, chunky buds with a structure characteristic of indica varieties. The flowers are often medium to dark green with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the dense foliage. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a sticky texture when properly cured.

The strain has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as commercial strains, Om has maintained popularity in certain medical and recreational markets, particularly among users seeking deep physical relaxation without complete sedation. Its rarity means that authentic Om can be difficult to find outside of specific regions or through trusted breeders who have maintained the original genetics.
