Cactus Breath S1
Cactus Breath S1
Also known as: Cactus Breath
Overview
Cactus Breath S1 is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by El Pampa, representing an S1 (self-pollinated) generation of the original Cactus Breath created by ThugPug Genetics. This strain is the result of crossing Cactus (an indica cross of Afghani and Northern Lights) with Mendo Breath F2 (Studly Spewright), creating a near 50/50 indica-sativa hybrid with distinctive characteristics. The S1 generation maintains the genetic integrity of the original while being available only as feminized seeds, making it more accessible to cultivators. The strain has gained recognition for its complex terpene profile and balanced effects that combine the relaxing properties of indica genetics with the uplifting qualities of sativa strains. Visually, Cactus Breath S1 produces dense, rounded buds with a heavy coating of yellowish trichomes and scattered orange pistils. The buds exhibit the classic indica structure with knobby formations reminiscent of its namesake cactus plant. Plants display broad, serrated leaves and a robust structure that maximizes light absorption for optimal resin production.

Growing Information
Cactus Breath S1 is suitable for indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation with a flowering time of 66 days (approximately 9-10 weeks). Indoor plants remain compact at 0-4 feet tall, yielding 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can reach 5-8 feet and produce up to 600 grams per plant. The strain thrives in sunny, warm climates with temperatures between 70-85°F and requires well-draining soil with pH levels maintained between 6.0-6.5. It benefits from organic soil amendments and bio-enzymatic nutrients to enhance resin production. During flowering, maintain 40-50% relative humidity to prevent mold. The strain responds well to pruning and defoliation techniques, which can increase bud size by up to 20%. Harvest typically occurs between late September and mid-October for outdoor grows.
