Deep Space strain guide
Deep Space is an indica-leaning hybrid of Oreoz and Zero Gravity, credited to Clearwater Genetics. It has a sharp chemical and diesel smell with a sweet side, and people describe a calm, sleepy feel. Watch the label: more than one strain goes by this name.
Where does Deep Space come from?
The best-documented Deep Space is a Clearwater Genetics cross of Oreoz and Zero Gravity. Clearwater's Zero Gravity is described as a GMO and Oreoz cross, which would put Oreoz on both sides of the family. That Zero Gravity is a different plant from the Holy Grail Kush and Smurfzilla strain also sold under that name.
The Deep Space name is shared too. At least one other breeder has released an unrelated Deep Space, and Deep Space 91 is a separate line. Little else about Clearwater's release is documented.
What does Deep Space smell and taste like?
Deep Space smells pungent and chemical, with diesel and gas up front and a sweet, earthy base. Some people mention a sulphur funk, while others pick up sweet berries and cream or a hint of cocoa when it's ground.
Published terpene information is inconsistent: retailer descriptions disagree on which terpene leads, and we couldn't find lab results to settle it. We've left the terpene list blank rather than guess. Check the label for your batch.
Deep Space effects: what people report
People most often describe Deep Space as relaxed and sleepy, with a euphoric, sometimes giggly lift before the body feel takes over. Most reports call it calming overall and better suited to the end of the day.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious.
How strong is Deep Space?
It's a high-THC strain. Published listings and product results run from about 23% to 32% THC, with CBD very low.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time. Go by the THC and CBD on your label, which reflect your batch. See our guide to THCA vs THC if the label numbers confuse you.
Buying Deep Space in Canada
Because several strains share the name, look for the breeder or lineage on the label or product description before you buy. Compare THC, CBD and any listed terpenes between products.
Fresher flower holds more of that sharp smell, so check the packaging date.
Deep Space vs Oreoz
Oreoz is a parent, a Cookies and Cream and Secret Weapon cross known for chocolate, vanilla and coffee notes over diesel. Deep Space keeps the diesel but swaps much of the dessert sweetness for a sharper chemical funk. Both are relaxing, though Deep Space is more often called sleepy. If you want the sweet, creamy side, start with Oreoz. If you like a louder, gassier smell, Deep Space is the pick.
