Outer Space strain guide
Outer Space is a sativa-leaning hybrid of Island Sweet Skunk and Trinity. People know it for a strong citrus and skunk smell with some sweet berry, and an energetic, focused feel that comes on quickly.
Where does Outer Space come from?
One strain database and an Illinois strain review both list Outer Space as a cross of Island Sweet Skunk, also sold as Sweet Island Skunk, and Trinity, an older strain that is not well documented. The breeder is not well documented either.
Most sources call it sativa-leaning, though some list it as an even 50/50 split. One strain database names Blueberry Space Cake and Hayley's Haze among its offspring.
What does Outer Space smell and taste like?
The smell is strong and citrusy, with a skunky edge and some sweetness. When ground, people pick up berry and orange, and some notice creamy, floral or herbal notes, or an earthy, red-wine depth.
The taste is usually described as sweet berry over a spicy, soil-like base, with a floral finish. We couldn't find published terpene results for Outer Space, so we're not listing any here.
Outer Space effects: what people report
People most often describe Outer Space as energetic, focused and creative. Reviewers say the head feel arrives fast, with a happy, chatty mood, and a relaxing body buzz shows up later. Several say it suits daytime tasks better than winding down.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious or getting a headache with larger amounts.
How strong is Outer Space?
Outer Space is on the strong side. Published product results we found sit around 23% to 25% THC, with very little CBD, though there isn't much data on this strain overall.
One reviewer called it too potent for beginners. If you're new, start small and give it time, and go by the numbers on your product's label.
Buying Outer Space in Canada
Outer Space is an uncommon name, so read the label closely and don't confuse it with strains like Space Queen or Space Cake, which are different plants.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that bright citrus smell.
Outer Space vs Sweet Island Skunk
Sweet Island Skunk is one of Outer Space's parents, and the two share a lot. Sweet Island Skunk is known for a sweet grapefruit and skunk smell and an energetic, upbeat feel. Outer Space keeps the citrus and skunk but adds berry and floral notes, likely from its Trinity side, and reviewers describe a body buzz that settles in later. If you want the classic bright, skunky sativa, start with Sweet Island Skunk. If you'd like a little more sweetness and a softer finish, try Outer Space.
