What is the Pom Pom strain?
Pom Pom is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Pom Pom is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation about its initial development, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. Breeders likely crossed indica and sativa varieties to achieve its characteristic equilibrium, though specific parentage details remain uncertain among cultivators. The name 'Pom Pom' is thought to reference the strain's dense, rounded buds that resemble cheerleading pom-poms, though some sources suggest it may derive from its aromatic qualities.
Visually, Pom Pom plants produce medium-sized, compact buds with a dense structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide contrasting accents. The foliage tends to be broad and dark green, with plants maintaining a manageable height suitable for various cultivation environments.
The strain is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. This distinctive scent profile, combined with its balanced effects, has contributed to Pom Pom's popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking moderate psychoactive experiences without extreme sedation or stimulation.

Pom Pom is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors.
