OZone
Also known as: O Zone, O-Zone
OZone Strain Overview
OZone is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, a prominent Amsterdam-based seed company with decades of breeding experience. The strain was created by crossing two classic and potent parent strains: the indica-dominant Northern Lights and the sativa-dominant Haze. This genetic combination aims to blend the deeply relaxing, body-focused effects of Northern Lights with the cerebral, uplifting qualities of Haze, resulting in a well-rounded experience suitable for various times of day. The strain's name is a play on the atmospheric ozone layer, possibly alluding to its uplifting and expansive cerebral effects.
Visually, OZone plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that are light to medium green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The foliage during growth tends to exhibit characteristics of both its parents, with a structure that is neither purely indica-bushy nor sativa-lanky, making it manageable for most growers. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, piney notes from its Northern Lights heritage with sharper, citrusy undertakes inherited from the Haze lineage.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, OZone has maintained a presence in the cannabis community, particularly among enthusiasts of classic genetics. It is generally considered a reliable strain that delivers consistent effects and respectable yields. Its balanced nature makes it appealing to users seeking both mental and physical effects without excessive sedation or overstimulation. As with many strains from established breeders like Dutch Passion, OZone represents a deliberate attempt to preserve and refine desirable traits from legendary parent strains.

OZone Strain Growing Information
OZone is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere usually occurs around mid-October. Yields are generally average to above average; indoor growers can expect approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, preferring a warm, Mediterranean-like climate if cultivated outside. Plant height is medium-tall, often requiring some height management indoors, especially during the flowering stretch. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in late flowering. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration.
