Velvet Octane
What is the Velvet Octane strain?
Velvet Octane is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 21.0% THC, known for its calm effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Velvet Octane is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by Humboldt Seed Organization through an elite selection of their 4-way OG backcrossed with their proprietary in-house OG/Afghan cultivar. The strain was specifically bred to combine the classic characteristics of OG Kush with enhanced potency and improved growing stability. This combination establishes more compact growth with a hardier structure supported by the slightly broader fan leaves typically associated with OG Kush genetics. The strain showcases dense, trichome-rich buds with strong lateral branching that supports large cola development during the later stages of flowering. Velvet Octane is characterized by its complex terpene profile dominated by beta-myrcene and beta-caryophyllene, which expresses itself through sharp, pungent gassy fumes accompanied by deep essences of spicy black pepper and lemon citrus. The buds themselves are described as fluffy and conical with olive green coloration, featuring abundant thick red-orange hairs and tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes that give the strain its distinctive appearance.

How do you grow Velvet Octane?
Velvet Octane requires some growing experience and is considered intermediate difficulty. The strain has a flowering time of 8 weeks (56-60 days) indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in early October. Indoor yields range from 450-600g per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 1-4kg per plant under optimal conditions. The plant grows rapidly during early vegetative stages with higher nutritional demands than standard OG Kush strains, though nitrogen requirements remain moderate. Indoor height reaches 300-400cm (10-13ft). The strain benefits from defoliation during early flowering to improve light penetration and requires trellising for both indoor and outdoor grows. Velvet Octane responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) cultivation methods when flowering is induced two weeks after germination.
