Lavender

Lavender, also known as Lavender Kush, is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Soma Seeds, originating from Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, Afghani, and Hawaiian parent strains. Known for its moderate THC content (14%-20%), Lavender is recognized for relieving chronic pain and inducing robust cerebral effects.

The flower emits a distinct lavender scent, with enthusiasts praising its leaves for displaying some of the darkest purple hues in the cannabis realm, attributed to anthocyanins. Despite not being the most potent strain, Lavender's eight to 10-week flowering cycle makes it beginner-friendly, thriving in various environmental conditions. However, its potential height of 8 feet requires cultivators to allocate ample space for optimal growth.
