High Octane

The story of High Octane

High Octane is an old-school OG built on the Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush lineage, about 90% indica. Chemdawg supplied the fuel, Lemon Thai the citrus brightness and Hindu Kush the earthy spine - a heavy, evening-leaning cultivar that has been a dispensary staple for years. It also lives on as a parent of Jet Fuel Gelato, which is where the confusion with the newer Cookies strains starts. Not to be confused with Hi-Octane (Sunset Sherbert x Octane, Cookies Fam).

Terpene breakdown

• Myrcene: mellow body base for the evening arc.
• Caryophyllene: the fuel-pepper edge.
• Limonene: citrus that cuts the gas and keeps it drinkable.

Jet fuel over sweet cream - the name describes the nose perfectly.

Growing High Octane

A 8 to 9 week flower with a classic OG structure: strong lateral branches, dense chunky buds and heavy resin. It responds well to topping and trellising; watch the late-flower humidity with those dense colas. Solid yields for a boutique cultivar.

How to consume High Octane

An evening hybrid: relaxed and happy first, hungry and sleepy as it builds. At 20 to 26 percent THC the fuel terps signal intensity the high mostly matches - functional for the first hour, couch-bound after. Dinner strain through movie strain.

High Octane vs similar strains

Versus parent lane Gelato, it is gasier and more sedating. Against Wedding Cake it trades vanilla sweetness for fuel. Dolato (Dosidos x Gelato) is the closest cousin in the gassy-dessert lane, Kush Mints the minty alternative, and Bruce Banner the high-energy daytime counterpart. Gelonade is the citrus-bright sibling from the same breeding era.

Storing High Octane

The fuel terps are stable but the cream underneath is delicate: airtight glass, dark cupboard, humidity pack at 58 to 62 percent.
