As a result of its legendary genetics, it is said to be prized for its purple-coloured, dense buds, floral yet spicy aroma, and blissful, full-sensory high.

Here at Seed City, we offer premium quality Lavender feminised seeds ready for delivery straight to your doorstep. Before you place an order, here are a few things you need to know about this beloved strain.

Origins of Lavender

Lavender is a hybrid strain resulting from three cultivars hailing from different parts of the globe – Super Skunk, Afghani Hawaiian, and Big Skunk Korean. With origins in Afghanistan, Hawaii, Korea, and the USA, it offers distinct, unmatched qualities that users are sure to enjoy.

Each parent is said to play a part in its floral aroma and flavour and relaxing effects. For example, its Afghani Hawaiian parent is reportedly responsible for its sedative effects and prominent sweetness. Its Super Skunk parent, on the other hand, boasts a different aroma but is said to contribute to its relaxing high.

While Lavender is considered a hybrid strain, it is said to have dominant sativa genes. They reportedly manifest in its uplifting mental high, as well as its tall plants. It also reportedly contains 20% THC and less than 1% CBD, thus offering potent, fast-acting effects for users.

The Growth of Lavender

As is typical with sativa-dominant strains, Lavender feminised seeds are said to grow into tall plants, estimated to reach up to 8 feet tall even with training techniques. They are also known to have thick, bushy foliage and heavy buds, although the foliage is easily supported by their slender yet strong branches.

That said, experts stress the importance of ample space for growing Lavender plants, especially in indoor setups. Moreover, they recommend regular pruning and trimming to ensure proper airflow along their thick flowering sites. Daily watering is also advised, alongside proper irrigation and scheduled nutrient feeding.

With regular monitoring and enough TLC, Lavender plants reportedly produce heavy nugs and abundant harvests after nine weeks of flowering. Fortunately for growers, they are said to be easy plants to groom and trim, given their high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Moreover, they are known to be resistant to moulds, mildew, and pests, thus making them relatively easy to care for, even for inexperienced growers.

According to online grow reports, below is a list of other expert tips for outdoor and indoor cultivation:

Outdoor growing

• Ideal climate: A dry and warm climate, alongside a temperature between 70° Fahrenheit to 80° Fahrenheit and a 16/8 light schedule. It is said to improve the plant’s terpene profile, among other benefits.
• Ideal growing medium: Soil substrate loaded with nutrients, although hydroponics is a good alternative as well.
• Regular trimming and pruning
• Daily watering
• Nutrient feeding only when needed, typically following a schedule or when soil lacks in properties.

Indoor growing

• Ideal climate:

1. Seedling stage: Temperature between 70° Fahrenheit to 80° Fahrenheit during daytime and 70° Fahrenheit in the nighttime; Humidity level between 50% to 60%
2. Vegetative stage: Temperature between 70° Fahrenheit to 80° Fahrenheit during daytime and 70° Fahrenheit to 75° Fahrenheit at night; Humidity level between 40% to 50%
3. Flowering stage: Temperature between 70° Fahrenheit to 80° Fahrenheit during daytime and 70° Fahrenheit to 75° Fahrenheit at night; Humidity level between 40% to 50%

• Ideal growing medium: A hydroponics setup is known to work well with LST (low-stress training) techniques.
• Ideal pH level: Between 5.0 to 6.0 at all times
• Ideal lighting system: 600 W LED lamps
• Training techniques: Both SoG (Sea of Green) and ScrOG (Screen of Green) methods are known to help control height while still maximising yields.

If all goes well, outdoor growers can reportedly expect between 21 to 24 ounces of bud per plant. Indoor growers, on the other hand, are said to yield at least 14 ounces of bud per square metre.

Lavender Flavours and Effects

Lavender is often associated with a sweet, floral aroma, as one would expect from its name. However, it also reportedly surprises users with prominent herbal notes found in Afghan Hash. Together, they are said to delight the senses with a refreshing mix of pinewood, damp soil, and a lavish field of flowers.

After one to two puffs, its euphoric yet sedative high soon takes over the mind and body. Even veteran users claim to experience an intense trip, which means rookies or first-timers need to take it easy.

It reportedly starts with an uplifting and liberating cerebral buzz, although it does not last long. A relaxing body buzz is said to engulf the body, numbing the limbs and luring users into a comforting couch lock. As such, users say it is best taken at the end of a long or busy day.

Although Lavender was not intended for medical marijuana users, many claim that its sedative effects provide great relief against body pains, muscle tension, stress, negative thoughts, depression, and insomnia.

The Bottom Line

Lavender stays true to its name as a delectable and delightful strain for the senses. However, with 20% THC content, even veteran users are warned not to underestimate its seemingly sweet reputation. Its floral yet earthy smoke is known to give way to a deeply relaxing high that sends users off to lalaland. With just a few puffs, they claim to enjoy a sedative-like high that offers relief against physical and mental ailments.
