Chilavender
Also known as: Chili Lavender
Chilavender Strain Overview
Chilavender is a relatively rare cannabis strain that combines genetics from two distinct lineages to create a unique sensory experience. The strain was developed by crossing Lavender, a classic indica-dominant hybrid known for its floral aroma and relaxing effects, with an undisclosed chili pepper strain, which contributes to its distinctive spicy undertones. While the exact breeder and development timeline remain unclear, Chilavender has gained attention among cannabis connoisseurs for its unusual flavor profile and balanced effects.
The plant typically displays characteristics of both parent strains, with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a range of colors from deep purple to forest green, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The most notable feature of Chilavender is its complex aroma, which combines the sweet, floral notes of lavender with a distinct spicy, peppery quality that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Chilavender is considered a balanced hybrid, though individual phenotypes may lean slightly toward either indica or sativa dominance. The strain's effects are typically described as both cerebral and physical, making it suitable for various times of day depending on the user's tolerance and the specific phenotype. Due to its relative rarity, comprehensive information about Chilavender's growing characteristics and exact genetic lineage remains limited, with most knowledge coming from user reports and small-scale cultivators.

Chilavender Strain Growing Information
Chilavender is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching approximately 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors when given adequate space. Yields are generally moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant. Chilavender prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering phase. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation may enhance the terpene profile. Regular pruning is recommended to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
