WarPaint
Also known as: War Paint
WarPaint Strain Overview
WarPaint is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. What is known suggests it emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene in the early 2010s, though some sources indicate it may have connections to older genetics from the 1990s. The name 'WarPaint' references the strain's striking visual characteristics, particularly the vibrant coloration that develops during flowering.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds that are notable for their dramatic color contrast. During maturation, WarPaint often develops deep purple and violet hues that contrast sharply with bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are usually medium to large in size and have a dense, resinous structure that makes them particularly sticky to the touch. The visual appeal of WarPaint has made it popular among growers and consumers who appreciate photogenic cannabis varieties.
WarPaint is considered a well-balanced hybrid that offers effects from both indica and sativa lineages. Users typically report an initial cerebral uplift followed by gradual physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain's rarity means that comprehensive information about its exact genetic makeup and breeding history is limited, and it remains more of a niche variety than a mainstream commercial strain. Its relative obscurity has contributed to some variation in reported characteristics across different growing environments and phenotypes.

WarPaint Strain Growing Information
WarPaint is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. WarPaint plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. WarPaint benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance its characteristic purple coloration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen-rich fertilizers.
