The Putrid
Also known as: Putrid, Putrid OG
The Putrid Strain Overview
The Putrid is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain known for its exceptionally strong aroma profile that gives the strain its distinctive name. This strain was developed through selective breeding to emphasize its pungent terpene profile while maintaining a powerful psychoactive effect. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history, The Putrid has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique sensory characteristics and deeply relaxing effects.
The strain's most notable feature is its intense odor, often described as a complex blend of diesel fuel, skunk, and decaying organic matter with underlying earthy and chemical notes. This powerful aroma makes The Putrid particularly distinctive among cannabis varieties. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with dark green coloration often accented by purple hues and covered in a thick layer of trichomes that contribute to its high THC content and sticky texture.
Despite its challenging name and aroma, The Putrid has developed a dedicated following among experienced cannabis users who appreciate its powerful effects and unique sensory profile. The strain's reputation has been built primarily through word-of-mouth in cannabis communities rather than widespread commercial distribution, making it somewhat of a specialty item in regions where it is available. Its cultivation requires attention to odor control due to the strength of its aromatic compounds.

The Putrid Strain Growing Information
The Putrid is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its strong odor that requires effective carbon filtration systems for indoor grows. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing about 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant tends to stay relatively compact for an indica, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. It prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. The Putrid responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods but requires careful nutrient management as it can be sensitive to overfeeding. Growers should implement robust odor control measures throughout the flowering phase due to the strain's exceptionally pungent aroma.
