Oregon Huckleberry
Also known as: Huckleberry, Oregon Huck
Oregon Huckleberry Strain Overview
Oregon Huckleberry is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, specifically in Oregon. The strain's exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain, though it is widely believed to be a phenotype of the original DJ Short Blueberry or a cross between Blueberry and other Pacific Northwest landrace strains. The name references both its geographic origin and its distinctive berry-like aroma that resembles wild huckleberries found in Oregon's forests.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds with a deep forest green coloration often accented by purple and blue hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. Oregon Huckleberry gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s within the medical cannabis community of the Pacific Northwest before spreading to recreational markets as legalization expanded.
Notable features include its pronounced sweet berry aroma with earthy undertones and its consistently potent effects that lean heavily toward physical relaxation. The strain has maintained a dedicated following despite the proliferation of newer hybrids, valued for its reliable effects and distinctive flavor profile that captures the essence of its regional heritage.

Oregon Huckleberry Strain Growing Information
Oregon Huckleberry is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant tends to stay relatively short and bushy, typically reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making it suitable for both growing environments. Indoor yields average 1.5-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces each. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and benefits from pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower branches. Growers should watch for mold in dense buds during late flowering, particularly in humid conditions.
