Zombie Weed
Also known as: Zombie, Zombie OG
Zombie Weed Strain Overview
Zombie Weed is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its strong sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from California's medical cannabis scene. The name references the strain's tendency to leave users in a heavy, immobile state reminiscent of cinematic zombies, though some sources suggest it may also relate to its appearance when grown, with dense, dark buds that can have a somewhat gnarled, zombie-like quality.
Visually, Zombie Weed typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and tightly packed, with dark green foliage often accented by deep purple hues and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle undertones of citrus and diesel, creating a pungent scent that can be quite noticeable even before consumption. When properly cured, the buds break apart to reveal a rich, resinous interior that produces thick smoke when combusted.
Zombie Weed is known for its powerful, long-lasting effects that primarily manifest as deep physical relaxation and mental sedation. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its ability to induce a state of couch-lock and is often recommended for evening or nighttime use due to its strong sleep-inducing properties. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Zombie Weed has developed a dedicated following within certain cannabis communities who appreciate its potent effects and unique characteristics.

Zombie Weed Strain Growing Information
Zombie Weed is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, 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 dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches as buds develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
