Eleïson
Also known as: Eleison
Eleïson Strain Overview
Eleïson is a relatively rare cannabis strain whose name derives from the Greek word for 'mercy' or 'compassion,' specifically from the phrase 'Kyrie Eleison' meaning 'Lord, have mercy.' The strain appears to have emerged in the early 2010s within boutique breeding circles, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure due to limited commercial distribution. Breeders who have worked with Eleïson describe it as a carefully balanced hybrid developed through selective breeding of premium genetics, though specific lineage details are often closely guarded by those who cultivate it.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of crystalline trichomes gives the buds a frosty, shimmering appearance that indicates high cannabinoid production. The buds are generally compact and tightly structured, with a solid density that suggests careful cultivation.
Notable features of Eleïson include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its refined characteristics and consistent quality when properly cultivated. While not widely available in commercial markets, Eleïson has maintained a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities who appreciate its distinctive qualities and the intentional breeding philosophy behind its development.

Eleïson Strain Growing Information
Eleïson is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. 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 strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent warmth and low humidity.
Indoor yields are moderate, typically producing 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The plants tend to remain at a manageable height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training techniques to maximize light exposure to lower branches.
