Holy Roller
Holy Roller
Also known as: Holly Roller, Holy Roller OG
Overview
Holy Roller is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (approximately 60% sativa/40% indica) developed by Archive Seed Bank through crossing Big Sur Holy Weed, a classic California sativa haze, with Do-Si-Dos. This unique genetic combination has resulted in a strain that marries traditional West Coast cannabis characteristics with modern dessert-like qualities. The strain is known for producing long, dense colas adorned with trichome-splashed buds that exhibit a distinctive appearance with forest green coloration, thick amber pistils, and a frosty coating of white crystal trichomes.
Holy Roller has gained recognition for its complex and varied flavor profile, which can range significantly between phenotypes. Some expressions offer refreshing eucalyptus or turpentine-like aromas, while others lean toward the Do-Si-Dos lineage with lime haze flavors. The strain's terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its distinctive sensory characteristics and therapeutic potential. This cultivar has become popular among connoisseurs seeking something unique and outside the conventional flavor spectrum, offering a perfect balance between uplifting cerebral effects and physical relaxation.

Growing Information
Holy Roller is considered a relatively easy strain to cultivate, suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with a moderate flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days). Plants typically remain compact at 0-4 feet in height, making them manageable for indoor grows. Indoor yields range from 400-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 350-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers temperate to cool climates and is ready for outdoor harvest in early September. Growers should note that some phenotypes may experience structural challenges including node splitting, making it potentially more suitable for experienced cultivators despite its generally easy-growing nature.
