Tropical Soju
Also known as: Tropical Soju OG
Tropical Soju Strain Overview
Tropical Soju is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2020s, developed by breeders seeking to combine tropical flavor profiles with balanced effects. The strain represents a deliberate crossing of genetics from fruity, tropical varieties with more traditional hybrid foundations, though its exact genetic heritage remains somewhat proprietary among breeders. It has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets for its distinctive terpene profile and reliable effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The buds are known for their resinous texture and tight calyx structure, making them suitable for various consumption methods including extraction.
Tropical Soju is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines tropical fruit notes with earthy undertones. The name reflects both its flavor characteristics and the smooth, clear-headed experience it provides, drawing a metaphorical comparison to the clean finish of soju, a Korean distilled beverage. While not one of the most widely documented strains, it has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique terpene expression.

Tropical Soju Strain Growing Information
Tropical Soju is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with vertical limitations. Tropical Soju responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, which can help maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during late flowering. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen with particular attention to phosphorus during flowering.
