Lavender

Lavender – Soma Sacred Seeds

Lavender by Soma combines cannabis genetics from different parts of the world in an exceptional 3-way cross. Its lineage includes Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, Afghani and Hawaiian, thereby combining influences from Afghanistan, Hawaii, Korea, the USA and Europe. With 80% Indica and 20% Sativa, Lavender is clearly Indica-dominant and is one of the traditional strains from Soma.

Particularly striking is the intense coloration of Lavender. During flowering, the plants can develop very dark purple hues, with the leaves sometimes turning almost black towards the end. Those who prefer larger plants can give Lavender a longer vegetative phase. The strain is also suitable for a Sea of Green (SOG), although Soma recommends a shorter vegetative phase for this purpose in order to better control the height.

Outdoors, Lavender can also be cultivated in temperate climates, although it feels particularly comfortable under dry and warm conditions. The plants develop very compact flowers and a characteristic, powerful-spicy aroma. The taste and scent are clearly reminiscent of traditional Afghan hashish, thereby underlining the pronounced Indica character of this classic Soma genetic.

Soma Seeds: a lifetime in breeding

Soma Seeds, also called Soma’s Sacred Seeds, goes back to the early seventies. The guy behind it, Soma, was not always in cannabis. He once worked at IBM. Later he ran a vegetarian restaurant and even a bakery. Growing plants came later, but he always lived in a way that leaned natural and organic. That carried over into how he breeds seeds too. It is just how he works.
