Overview
Big Sur Holy Weed is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 70% sativa, 30% indica) that traces its mystical origins to the coastal mountains of Big Sur, California. The strain is shrouded in mystery, with its exact genetics remaining obscure, though it is believed to descend from Zacatecas Purple (a Mexican sativa landrace) and Afghani Skunk genetics. According to local legend, this strain was originally cultivated by monks in the hills of Big Sur during the 1960s counterculture movement, where it became a staple among cannabis enthusiasts and bohemians seeking spiritual enlightenment. The strain was later preserved and distributed by Bodhi Seeds, who received the genetics as a gift from an old grower in the Big Sur area. Big Sur Holy Weed features dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by purple and pink hues, orange to red pistils, and a thick coating of crystalline trichomes. The plant exhibits an indica-like structure despite its sativa dominance, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation while maintaining the energizing effects typical of sativa varieties.

Growing Information
Big Sur Holy Weed is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring attention to detail and environmental controls. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks, with some phenotypes finishing earlier. The plant thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better control of yields. Expected yields are 10-12 ounces per square meter indoors and up to 12 ounces per plant outdoors. The strain prefers coastal climates with moderately cool temperatures when grown outdoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in mid-October. Despite its sativa genetics, the plant exhibits an indica-like structure with dense bud formation. Growers should maintain optimal temperature ranges (70-80°F), proper humidity levels (50-60% vegetative, 40-50% flowering), and provide adequate lighting. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and SCROG methods.
