Time Out
Time Out Strain Overview
Time Out is a relatively rare indica-dominant cannabis strain that appears to have originated from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis literature. The strain gained limited recognition in the early 2010s among medical cannabis patients seeking potent sedative effects, but it never achieved widespread commercial popularity. Breeders who have worked with Time Out describe it as a classic indica with strong physical relaxation properties, making it particularly suitable for evening or nighttime use.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green foliage often accented by deep purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's name reflects its reported effects, which many users describe as providing a 'time out' from daily stresses and physical discomforts.
While not extensively documented in mainstream cannabis databases, Time Out has maintained a small but dedicated following among indica enthusiasts who appreciate its straightforward, potent effects. The strain's rarity means that reliable information about its exact genetic lineage and breeding history is limited, and what exists comes primarily from anecdotal reports from growers and users in specific regional markets.

Time Out Strain Growing Information
Time Out is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, usually reaching 100-150 cm in height, making them suitable for limited space grows. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extremes) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants respond well to low-stress training techniques.
