Trippy Escalades
Also known as: Trippy Escalade, Trippy Escalade OG
Trippy Escalades Strain Overview
Trippy Escalades is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from underground breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from mainstream seed banks or breeders. According to cannabis cultivation forums and anecdotal reports, Trippy Escalades was developed by crossing a potent OG Kush phenotype with a selected Escalades (sometimes spelled 'Escalade') strain, though some sources suggest additional genetic influences from classic sativa varieties. The name reflects both its reported psychedelic-like cerebral effects ('Trippy') and its automotive-inspired lineage ('Escalades').
Visually, Trippy Escalades plants typically produce dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often medium to dark green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. A notable feature is the strain's generous trichome production, which gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The pistils (hairs) tend to be orange or rust-colored, creating visual contrast against the darker foliage. The buds are usually resinous and sticky to the touch, with a complex aroma profile that combines fuel, citrus, and earthy undertones.
While not widely available in commercial dispensaries, Trippy Escalades has maintained a cult following among certain cannabis enthusiasts who seek its balanced yet potent effects. The strain's rarity means that consistent phenotypic expression can vary between growers, and some phenotypes may display more sativa or indica characteristics than others. Due to its limited commercial distribution, much of the information about Trippy Escalades comes from grower reports and user experiences shared in online cannabis communities rather than formal laboratory testing or breeder documentation.

Trippy Escalades Strain Growing Information
Trippy Escalades is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for branches that may become heavy with resinous flowers. Some phenotypes may exhibit nutrient sensitivity, particularly to nitrogen during flowering.
