South Col
Also known as: South Col OG, South Col Kush
What is the South Col strain?
South Col is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
South Col is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to be an indica-dominant hybrid, though specific genetic information is limited. The strain's name references the South Col, a high mountain pass on Mount Everest, suggesting a connection to elevation or perhaps the strain's effects. Available information indicates this strain was likely developed by boutique breeders rather than major commercial seed companies, contributing to its limited availability in mainstream cannabis markets.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex aroma profile. Visual characteristics include dark green foliage with occasional purple hues, often accompanied by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds tend to be compact and tightly structured, consistent with many indica-dominant varieties. Growers report that South Col plants maintain a manageable height, making them suitable for various cultivation environments.
Due to the strain's relative obscurity, comprehensive historical documentation is scarce. Some sources suggest it may be a phenotype or regional variation of more established strains, possibly with Kush genetics. The limited availability means that most information comes from grower reports and small-scale cultivators rather than formal breeding documentation or widespread commercial distribution.

How do you grow South Col?
South Col is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors with proper training.
Yield expectations are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions.

The strain prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to prevent mold in dense bud structures.
