Triple Beam
Also known as: Triple Beam OG
Triple Beam Strain Overview
Triple Beam is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily on the West Coast of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but it is generally accepted as a carefully selected phenotype from a cross between OG Kush and an undisclosed indica-dominant strain. The name 'Triple Beam' is believed to reference either the strain's three distinct flavor profiles or its potent effects, though some sources suggest it may also be a nod to the strain's development by cultivators seeking maximum resin production. The strain gained popularity through word-of-mouth in medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and complex aroma profile.
Triple Beam plants typically display characteristics of both indica and sativa lineages. The buds are dense and conical, often with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. The leaves tend to be darker green with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. The strain's aroma is one of its most distinctive features, combining earthy, pine, and citrus notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart or ground.
While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Triple Beam has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets, particularly in California and Colorado. Its reputation centers on providing a well-rounded experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption times, though many users prefer it for evening use. Cultivators appreciate Triple Beam for its respectable yields and relatively straightforward growing requirements compared to some finicky OG Kush descendants.

Triple Beam Strain Growing Information
Triple Beam is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual flush before harvest to enhance flavor profiles.
