The Ooze
The Ooze
Also known as: Ooze
Overview
The Ooze is an 80/20 indica-dominant hybrid created through crossing Green Crack and White Fire Alien OG. This strain represents a fascinating convergence of contrasting genetics, combining the energizing properties of Green Crack with the powerful sedating effects of White Fire Alien OG. White Fire Alien OG created the base for The Ooze's genetics, from which the strain gained its Indica genetics and full-bodied, stress-crushing high, while its uplifting head effects come from Green Crack. The Ooze is distinguished by its medium to large-size buds which adhere in chunky, almost spherical formations. These flowers lean more indica than sativa, with a tight and compact structure and small, tightly-coiled leaves that are a dark shade of forest green and are twisted through with brown and orange pistils. Translucent white trichomes dot the surfaces of these buds, making them very difficult to break up without the help of a quality grinder.
With effects that sedate and relax, The Ooze takes its title seriously. This heavyweight is best employed in the evening to stimulate appetite and encourage rest, or for contending with strong social anxiety. The Ooze is a potent but slow-starting strain with THC levels that range from 15% to 23%. However, its onset does not start until 15 minutes after the first two to three puffs, but once it settles, it quickly spreads from head to toe. This heavy-hitting indica powerhouse brings on the stickiness with syrupy sweet droplets of resin that cover each and every millimeter of each lumpy round nug. As you pull each nug apart, sweet and spicy aromas of fresh citrusy apple and herbs are released with an earthy tinge. The flavor mimics the aroma with a spicy sweet fruity effect on each inhale with an amped up herbal exhale.

Growing Information
The Ooze can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 53 days (7-8 weeks). The Ooze has the structure of an Indica strain - short, sturdy, with thick branches and an even thicker stalk. It has good resistance against cooler temperatures and strong winds and can be cultivated in various growing areas. First-time growers will find that it is a good introductory grow. It works best in the Sea of Green setup which takes advantage of its compact structure. Growers may cultivate at least four plants in a single square meter to enhance yields and shorten the flowering period. One will need to trim it often to thin it out, however, as its dense foliage can harbor moisture leading to humidity-related problems like mold, mildew, and bud or root rot. Outdoor yields can produce at least 10 ounces of buds per plant at harvest, with indoor yields averaging around 475g/m². Outdoor success depends on a semi-humid climate with consistent daytime sunlight and temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants tend to grow short and bushy and may need to be occasionally pruned of their broad fan leaves.
