Also known as: Volcano, Volcanic OG
Volcanic Strain Overview
Volcanic is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally believed to have emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. Volcanic is characterized by its dense, conical buds that resemble miniature volcanoes, featuring a coating of amber trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. The nugs typically display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils.
The strain's name reflects both its explosive effects and the visual appearance of its buds. Volcanic has become popular among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain's genetic background contributes to its adaptability to various growing conditions, though it thrives particularly well in controlled indoor environments where its unique characteristics can be optimized. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Volcanic has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.
Notable features of Volcanic include its complex terpene profile that produces a distinctive aroma combining earthy, spicy, and citrus notes. The strain's effects are known to come on gradually but build in intensity, leading to its volcanic namesake. Growers appreciate Volcanic for its relatively short flowering time and respectable yields, while consumers value its balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. The strain remains more regionally popular than internationally recognized, with limited commercial distribution outside certain markets.

Volcanic Strain Growing Information
Volcanic is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Volcanic prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase.
