Tropical Grease
Also known as: Tropical Grease OG
Tropical Grease Strain Overview
Tropical Grease is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeding programs. The strain combines genetics from tropical sativa varieties with heavy indica-dominant parents, resulting in a unique profile that bridges uplifting cerebral effects with physical relaxation. Breeders aimed to create a strain with exotic flavor characteristics while maintaining the potency and resin production characteristic of modern hybrids.
Visually, Tropical Grease typically produces dense, conical buds with a structure leaning toward its indica heritage. The flowers display a vibrant green color palette often accented by purple and orange pistils, with a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a "greasy" appearance—hence the name. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending tropical fruit notes with gassy, diesel undertones and earthy base tones.
Tropical Grease has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in legal markets where exotic flavor profiles are valued. The strain represents a successful attempt to combine the best characteristics of both sativa and indica lineages while introducing unique tropical flavor elements.

Tropical Grease Strain Growing Information
Tropical Grease is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring some training and pruning to maximize light penetration and airflow. Tropical Grease responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) techniques and benefits from careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
