Trickster
Trickster Strain Overview
Trickster is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with deceptive potency—hence the name 'Trickster'—as its effects often surprise users with their intensity despite the strain's approachable flavor profile. While specific breeding records are limited, Trickster gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciated its complex terpene expression and versatile effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive coloration that ranges from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of frosty trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils. The bud structure is compact with a slightly elongated shape, and the nugs break apart to reveal a complex internal structure.
Notable features of Trickster include its deceptive onset—users often report a gentle beginning that gradually builds to more pronounced effects—and its unusual terpene combination that creates a flavor profile that evolves during consumption. The strain remains somewhat obscure in the broader cannabis market, with limited commercial availability outside of specific regional markets where it has maintained a cult following among experienced consumers.

Trickster Strain Growing Information
Trickster is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants exhibit medium height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors with proper training. Yields are moderate, averaging 1.2-1.8 ounces per square foot indoors or 14-18 ounces per plant outdoors. Trickster prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to nitrogen excess during flowering.
