Swish
Also known as: Swish OG, Swish Kush
Swish Strain Overview
Swish is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily within the Pacific Northwest cannabis community, particularly in Oregon. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources tracing it to the Portland, Oregon area where it was reportedly developed by local growers through selective breeding. The name 'Swish' is believed to reference the smooth, clean smoking experience that characterizes this strain, though some suggest it may also relate to the strain's development history within specific cannabis circles.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure that's characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense bud structure, creating an attractive visual contrast. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones.
Swish has maintained a somewhat regional reputation rather than achieving widespread commercial distribution, which contributes to its somewhat elusive status in the broader cannabis market. Despite this limited availability, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and smooth consumption experience. The strain's genetics reflect careful breeding aimed at creating a versatile hybrid suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications.

Swish Strain Growing Information
Swish is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited 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 are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them manageable for most growing spaces. Swish responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should maintain good air circulation and monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold development in the dense buds. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen and may show some sensitivity to overfeeding.
