Lavender Feminized

Pot enthusiasts who are looking for ultimate relaxation are flocking in their droves towards Lavender. Hailed as the Best Indica in the 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup, just a toke or two of this strain is enough to soothe even the most tired soul. It has a very impressive THC volume of 19% to 27%, and every smoke-out ensures a powerful cerebral high that reaches for the skies.

Seasoned tokers and beginners can both enjoy this herb, but the latter will need to be cautious of the dose. Best used at nighttime or when your schedule is completely clear, its calming trip leads to a strong body stone followed by complete sedation. Smoking this weed at the end of the day helps eliminate stress and worries, paving the way for a beautiful, restful sleep.

Lavender is like a salad bowl of different marijuana strains. It's a genetic mix of three different Indica-heavy parents – Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean and Afghani Hawaiian. The three-way blend is the reason behind its euphoric yet relaxing head-to-toe buzz, but it also contributes to the plant's sturdy nature. Aspiring growers can cultivate their own crop from Homegrown Cannabis Co.'s feminized seeds, which thrive in any setup and lead to a heavy yield of high-quality buds.

Growing Lavender from Feminized Seeds

Lavender has a typical Indica structure: it's bushy and robust, but taller than most of its kind, reaching 6 to 8 feet when fully mature. Its buds are dense and difficult to break apart, and bigger than most. Thick resin covers each nugget, a clear indicator of potency.

The plant can thrive in any environment, making it a good option for newbie growers. Those who want to boost its pungency can use soil, but hydroponics is also an excellent medium. Going for a Sea of Green setup will help you achieve the maximum yield. After flowering for 8 to 9 weeks, a harvest of up to 1.31 ounces of sticky buds per square foot awaits.

Like most Indica strains, Lavender is a big fan of the great outdoors. It flourishes best in a warm and sunny Mediterranean-type environment, but it also thrives in less than paradisiacal settings because it's naturally resilient to mold and mildew. The plant can even prosper in the Northern hemisphere and is ready for harvest by mid-October. If all goes well, each one can produce 14 to 21 ounces of gluey buds.

Fragrance and Flavor

Every aspect of this soothing herb oozes relaxing vibes – including its scent and taste. It gives off a delicate, sweet fragrance of fresh flowers sprinkled with a hint of dampness. There's also a pinch of herbs and a hint of spice. Once its smoke reaches the palate, the lavender flavor becomes evident. Each hit releases a wave of sweet sandalwood sapidity with a tinge of herbal spice.

Effects

This award-winning Indica offers a soothing high that does not disappoint even seasoned users. Best used for a night of unwinding and lounging around, it's perfect for ending a stressful day. The experience starts with an engaging and euphoric trip that hits immediately after the first toke. It's a beautifully uplifting feeling that pushes aside negative thoughts and emotions, and happiness is pretty much guaranteed.

After a few minutes, the weed's relaxing effect kicks in. It provides an hour or so of head to toe bliss that'll soon sweep you off your feet. Veterans will be able to stay mobile, but beginners will likely be stuck to the couch. Just a few small hits of this potent hybrid are enough to open the gates to slumberville.

Like other cannabis strains, Lavender may have some adverse effects. One of the most common is dry eyes which can usually be treated with over-the-counter eye-drops. Cottonmouth is also typical, and can be avoided by keeping the dosage low and staying properly hydrated.

Overconsumption may lead to more worrying side effects. Beginners and users with low THC tolerance may get a bit dizzy, and a few may even experience paranoia or anxiety. Approaching the strain one hit at a time leads to a much more pleasant experience all round.

Medical

Lavender is a lovely-tasting toke that's said to have plenty of medicinal benefits. It may appease the symptoms of a number of different chronic ailments, while potentially silencing the thunders of psychological conditions. Smoking cannabis is not the only way to reap its medical properties, either. Dispensaries process the herb and turn it into tinctures, salves, oils and edibles.

Lavender's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties may prove very useful in pain management. Those suffering from arthritis and muscle spasms may find relief after only a few hits. Even women struggling with menstrual cramps have sought comfort from this strain.

Patients suffering from mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD have also used Lavender as a source of potential calm. Those with eating disorders, as well as cancer patients, may benefit from its strong munchies effect. It helps stimulate the appetite, warding off nausea and vomiting and making food enjoyable again.

Due to the strain's powerful sedating effect, it's also cherished by insomniacs. At the end of every smoke-out, sleep is pretty much inevitable. Waking up the next day will never have felt so refreshing.
