Clouds of Calm form from this Heavenly Herb

 

Bud Basics

You might think lavender is a flower for old ladies and babies - but you’d be wrong. This kind of Lavender is the ultimate relaxing herb, and her array of awards only serves to back us up. Best Indica in the 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup, this ganja will soothe the most fatigued toker out there, with her stonking THC volumes of up to 27% - part of the reason she’s so damn popular on the West Coast.

 

A veritable mixing pot of genetics, this strain - also known as Lavender Kush or Soma #10 - has parentage that leans heavily toward the Indica side, combining Super Skunk, Afghani Hawaiian and Big Skunk Korean to create a euphoric yet relaxing sturdy strain.

A couple of tokes of these buds will bring on a powerful, cerebral high that has you soaring through the clouds on a calming trip that slowly sedates with a heavy body-stone sensation. Best save this one for the nighttime, because you won’t be climbing off the couch any time soon after a joint of this stuff.

 

A medical marijuana (MMJ) miracle, this strain can be used to great effect in a variety of mediums, from smoke to salve, eliminating negative thought for sufferers of anxiety and depression, calming cognition for those struggling with PTSD and ADHD, and alleviating agony for arthritis. All followed up by a restorative, restful slumber.

Growing Lavender Feminized Seeds

Typically Indica in structure, Lavender Feminized is robust and bushy, but somewhat taller than the average Indica, capable of reaching heights of 6 to 8 feet once mature. With her tight, dense buds, you’ll find breaking apart her nugs to be difficult - but these are some big nugs, and the effort exerted is certainly worth it for these resin-covered beauties, since she’s potent as hell.

 

A great option for growers with little to no experience, this plant will thrive in almost any environment. She’ll happily flourish in a hydroponic setup, but if you really want to push her for pungency and a better terpene profile, organic soil is the way to go.

 

Since Lavender has a high calyx to leaf ratio, there’s no need to concern yourself with manicuring, as she practically cares for herself. Once mature, she’s an intensely beautiful strain, with leaves so deeply saturated with purple coloration, they’re almost black.

 

Setting her up in a Sea of Green (SoG) is recommended if high yields are your target, and after 8 or 9 weeks of flowering, you should be able to harvest around 1.31 ounces of gorgeous buds per square foot. Should you choose the SoG setup, we’d recommend you reduce the plant’s vegetation cycle, just to keep her height under control.

 

Outdoor growers, you’re in luck - Lavender loves the great outdoors, and will bloom particularly well in a sunny, warm, Mediterranean-esque climate. However, since she’s naturally resistant to mildew and mold, don’t worry too much if your hometown is less than a sunny paradise - she’ll still prosper in the northern hemisphere, and you can harvest her around mid-October. Yield size will sit between 14 and 21 ounces per plant.

Instantly uplifting even veteran smokers into a blissful cloud of calm, a few tokes of these buds will have your limbs melting into your chair in an intense, soothing body-stone.

 

The potent and calming therapeutic benefits of this strain abound, and alongside providing strong pain relief, Lavender’s sedating high is ideal for those with busy minds, anxious tendencies and mood disorders, soothing even the most hectic thoughts into feelings of positivity and contentment.

 

Growing this ganja is a dream come true, and those with little to no experience won’t struggle to keep this plant alive - she’s hardy thanks to her Indica heritage, and will leave you with hefty yields even in difficult climes, since she’s resistant to most of the usual suspects.
