Trick or Treat
Also known as: Trick or Treat OG, Halloween OG
Trick or Treat Strain Overview
Trick or Treat is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its unique combination of effects and seasonal name. The strain was developed by crossing the classic OG Kush with an undisclosed sativa-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve Ghost OG or other OG Kush phenotypes. Breeders aimed to create a strain that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The name references both its effects (the 'trick' of initial cerebral energy followed by the 'treat' of physical relaxation) and its popularity during the Halloween season.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-like structure despite its hybrid genetics. The flowers are characterized by vibrant orange pistils that contrast against forest green and sometimes purple-hued foliage, giving it a festive appearance reminiscent of Halloween colors. A thick coating of trichomes covers the buds, giving them a frosty, sugar-coated look. The aroma profile is complex, blending fuel-like OG Kush notes with sweeter, fruitier undertones.
Trick or Treat has become particularly popular in North American markets, especially around the Halloween season when dispensaries often feature it as a seasonal offering. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, it has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its balanced effects and seasonal appeal. The strain's genetics provide a good example of how breeders have worked to refine OG Kush varieties to create more nuanced experiences.

Trick or Treat Strain Growing Information
Trick or Treat is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere, coinciding with its Halloween-themed name. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns, reaching medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. They respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Trick or Treat prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. Some training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration. The strain is generally resistant to common diseases but benefits from good air circulation.
