High Tower
High Tower Strain Overview
High Tower is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two well-known parent strains to create a balanced yet potent cultivar. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine the cerebral effects of sativa-dominant strains with the physical relaxation of indica genetics. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, High Tower has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive effects profile and aromatic complexity.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, conical structure that somewhat resembles its namesake. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be moderately tall with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
High Tower is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle undertones of diesel. The flavor experience generally mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries through to the exhale. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions to full-body relaxation without excessive sedation. This makes it popular among users seeking functional daytime or evening use.

High Tower Strain Growing Information
High Tower is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, 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 cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium to tall heights, often requiring some height management techniques indoors. High Tower responds well to training methods like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage canopy height. The plants prefer stable temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Proper airflow is important to prevent mold in the dense buds, particularly during the final weeks of flowering.
