Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach
Also known as: Ocean Beach OG, Ocean Beach Kush
Overview
Ocean Beach is a hybrid marijuana strain bred by Cookies and Seed Junkie Genetics, representing a sophisticated collaboration between renowned cannabis breeders. The strain showcases complex genetic lineage derived from OG Kush, Hindu Kush, Lemon Thai, and Hawaiian, encapsulating a balanced hybrid profile that merges both indica and sativa characteristics. While the origin of this strain like many others from the Cookies Fam remains a mystery, many believe it is derived from a mix of an unknown strain and the famed OG Kush strain.
The strain's visual characteristics are particularly striking, featuring thick, frosty trichomes that almost resemble a white, sandy beach, with bright green patches and vivid orange hairs. The buds display swirled camouflage-green leaves with purple streaks in plants exposed to lower temperatures, while fuzzy strands of orange pistils are loosely scattered about, and golden trichome hairs add furry stripes of yellow. The Ocean Beach strain by Cookie Fam Genetics has carved out a distinct niche in the world of cannabis enthusiasts, emerging from west coast culture and the legacy of renowned strains, with Cookie Fam Genetics working on Ocean Beach over several years through diverse genetic crosses.

Growing Information
Cultivators can expect a plant that reaches a moderate height with dense, bushy foliage. The Ocean Beach strain typically flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor plants usually ready for harvest by mid-October. Indoor growers will appreciate its manageable height of 0-4 feet, making it an ideal choice for those with limited space, with flowering time ranging from 8 to 10 weeks. For indoor cultivation, Ocean Beach can yield an impressive 600 grams per square meter (19 ounces), while outdoor plants can produce around 18 ounces per plant. In indoor settings, ideal daytime temperatures should hover between 75°F to 80°F with slight cooling at night, humidity maintained at 50-60% during vegetative phase and lowered to 40% during flowering, with 18 hours of light during vegetative stage and 12 hours during flowering. Curing buds over two weeks results in enhanced flavor complexity, with well-cured buds often seeing up to 25% improvement in aroma and taste intensity.
