Flow
Flow Strain Overview
Flow is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles. The strain was developed to provide a balanced experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, creating what breeders describe as a 'flow state' of focused calm. Its genetic background appears to draw from both indica and sativa lineages, though specific parentage details are not consistently documented across sources.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by vibrant orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes. A generous coating of trichomes gives Flow buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds often display a compact structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids, with leaves that may show purple hues when grown in cooler conditions. The overall aesthetic is visually appealing with a professional, well-cultivated appearance.
Flow has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its reliable effects and pleasant sensory profile. While not as widely known as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its balanced effects and manageable cultivation requirements. The strain's name reflects its reported ability to facilitate a smooth, flowing experience rather than abrupt transitions between mental and physical effects.

Flow Strain Growing Information
Flow is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Flow is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation around its dense buds.
