Voltron
Also known as: Voltron OG
Voltron Strain Overview
Voltron is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but it is generally believed to have emerged from California's cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Breeders sought to create a strain that combined the best characteristics of its parent genetics, resulting in a plant that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.
The strain's name references the popular 1980s animated series 'Voltron: Defender of the Universe,' likely chosen to reflect the strain's powerful, combined effects from multiple genetic sources. Voltron typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance featuring deep green foliage accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are often medium to large in size with a compact, indica-dominant structure despite its hybrid classification.
Notable features of Voltron include its complex terpene profile that creates a multi-layered sensory experience and its balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and among home growers due to its reliable performance and desirable combination of effects, though it remains more of a regional favorite than a nationally recognized staple strain.

Voltron Strain Growing Information
Voltron is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as flowers develop. Voltron responds well to most training techniques including topping and low-stress training, which can help maximize yields and light penetration.
