Scaffie
Also known as: Scaffie OG
Scaffie Strain Overview
Scaffie is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, specifically associated with the cannabis culture of Portland, Oregon. The strain's name is believed to be derived from Scottish slang for a mischievous or scruffy person, reflecting its somewhat unrefined but potent nature. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Scaffie has developed a cult following among certain connoisseurs who appreciate its distinctive effects and flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a silver-green appearance. The nugs often display vibrant orange pistils weaving through the foliage, creating an attractive visual contrast. Scaffie's leaves tend to be darker green with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler growing conditions. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and emit a pungent aroma that combines earthy, diesel, and citrus notes.
Scaffie is recognized for its balanced hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's rarity means it is not widely available commercially, but it has maintained a presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who value its unique characteristics. Its genetic stability and resilience have contributed to its persistence despite not achieving mainstream popularity.

Scaffie Strain Growing Information
Scaffie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Scaffie prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 120-160 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Growers should provide good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and benefits from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield.
