Astrochimp

Cannabis Strain by Ocean Grown Seeds

Introduction
Astrochimp from Ocean Grown Seeds achieves something remarkable in the annals of cannabis flowering times: a mostly indica cultivar that completes in approximately 40 days. At 40 days, Astrochimp is among the fastest-flowering strains in commercial databases—a figure that raises genuine questions about the quality-speed trade-off inherent in such rapid maturation.

Lineage
Ocean Grown Seeds is a California-based seed company whose name references the "OG" in OG Kush (widely believed to stand for "Ocean Grown" in the strain's California coastal origin story). Their catalog draws on West Coast cannabis heritage. The name Astrochimp references Ham the Astrochimp—the chimpanzee sent to space by NASA in 1961 before human spaceflight was deemed safe—a humorous reference to early, perhaps under-ready ventures into new territory. At 40 days flowering for a mostly indica, Astrochimp either represents exceptional genetic engineering for speed or an extreme sacrifice of maturation time for turnaround efficiency. Specific parentage not documented in available records.

Terpenes
At 40 days of flowering, terpene and cannabinoid development will be substantially incomplete compared to standard flowering timelines. The resinous complexity that most indica genetics develop in the 56–70 day range will not fully mature in 40 days. Growers prioritizing yield turnover over quality may find this trade-off acceptable; those seeking maximum terpene expression will not.

Growth
Growth is extremely fast for the mostly indica classification. The compressed timeline means multiple indoor cycles per year are possible, but each harvest will reflect the limitations of early collection.

Effects
Effect reports are not available in current public documentation. The 40-day timeline raises questions about potency and effect development relative to slower-maturing indica genetics.

Documentation
No medicinal applications documented.
