Triple X
Also known as: XXX, Triple X OG
Triple X Strain Overview
Triple X is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California and Oregon. While its exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, most sources indicate it emerged in the early 2010s as a cross between OG Kush and an unknown indica-dominant strain, though some accounts suggest it may involve multiple Kush varieties. The strain's name references both its potent effects and the triple X rating sometimes associated with adult content, suggesting an intense experience.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance with deep green coloration often accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The plant typically grows to medium height with a bushy structure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation when climate conditions permit.
Triple X has become known for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. Its aroma profile is complex, blending earthy Kush notes with citrus and diesel undertones. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Triple X has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities for its reliable effects and manageable growing characteristics.

Triple X Strain Growing Information
Triple X is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with warm days and cool nights. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Triple X plants tend to stay at a manageable height of 3-4 feet indoors but can reach 5-6 feet outdoors. Growers should maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
