The Prophet
The Prophet Strain Overview
The Prophet is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder DNA Genetics. It was created by crossing two classic and potent strains: OG Kush and an unknown indica variety, often speculated to be a phenotype of Hindu Kush or a similar landrace. The strain's name is a nod to its purported ability to provide profound, almost visionary introspection and relaxation, though this is based on user reports rather than clinical evidence. It gained recognition in the early 2010s within the medical cannabis community, particularly in North America and Europe, for its strong effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The Prophet is characterized by dense, resinous buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers exhibit a deep green color with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. They are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. The foliage is broad and dark green, consistent with its indica heritage. The strain is known for its pungent aroma, which combines earthy, skunky notes with hints of citrus and pine, making it quite distinctive.
Notable features of The Prophet include its high THC content, which can reach up to 24%, and its relatively fast flowering time compared to some other indicas. It is often praised by users for its potent sedative effects, which are typical of indica strains, though individual experiences may vary. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow due to its sensitivity to environmental conditions, but it can produce substantial yields under optimal care. Its lineage from OG Kush contributes to its robust growth structure and complex terpene profile.

The Prophet Strain Growing Information
The Prophet is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Expected yields are medium to high: indoors, growers can anticipate around 400-500 grams per square meter; outdoors, plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant. It prefers a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with low humidity to prevent mold. The plant tends to stay relatively short and bushy, typically reaching 90-120 cm in height, making it suitable for indoor spaces with limited vertical room. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to avoid bud rot and maintaining stable temperatures, as it can be sensitive to fluctuations. It responds well to training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield.
