Body and Soul
Also known as: Body + Soul, Body & Soul
Body and Soul Strain Overview
Body and Soul is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing Garlic Mushroom Onion and Malawi genetics. This remarkable strain is bred by Gage Green Genetics, a boutique cannabis company focused on natural healing and natural farming. The strain gets its name from the iconic heirloom jazz song performed by Billie Holiday, Lester Young, and other notable artists, reflecting the breeder's philosophy that good music is healing and stimulates the mind, body, and soul. Body and Soul represents a unique fusion of two distinct parent genetics: the potent, sedating Garlic Mushroom Onion (GMO) strain, which contributes savory, garlic-like characteristics, and the pure African sativa Malawi, known for its energetic, psychedelic properties. The resulting hybrid aims to balance the deeply relaxing qualities of indica genetics with the uplifting, creative effects of a legendary landrace sativa. This strain is characterized by dense, hand-shaped minty green nugs adorned with thin orange hairs and chunky, golden white trichomes, creating an impressive visual presentation that hints at its potency.

Body and Soul Strain Growing Information
Body and Soul can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, showing good adaptability from its Malawi genetics. The strain is described as a strong and adaptable plant that offers good resistance to environmental stresses. As a sativa-dominant hybrid, it likely requires a longer flowering time typical of sativa genetics, though specific flowering times are not documented. The strain was never made available as feminized seeds by Gage Green Genetics, only being offered as regular seeds. Growers should expect the plant to express mostly sativa growth characteristics while potentially showing some of the density from its GMO parentage. The Malawi genetics contribute to producing large colas of resin-covered flowers with flavors ranging from lemon-lime to cherry.
