International Space Station
Also known as: ISS
International Space Station Strain Overview
International Space Station (ISS) is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and unique name. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, with different sources attributing its development to various breeders. Most accounts suggest it emerged in the early 2010s, though documentation is limited. The name appears to be more of a marketing reference to its 'out of this world' effects rather than any direct connection to space exploration.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The nugs are often forest green with occasional purple hues and are covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various growing techniques.
International Space Station is known for producing a complex aroma profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes. The flavor often follows the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries through to the exhale. While not among the most widely documented strains, it has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis communities, particularly among growers who appreciate its reliable performance and balanced effects.

International Space Station Strain Growing Information
International Space Station is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. 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 can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to reach medium height, typically between 3 to 5 feet tall when grown indoors, with outdoor plants potentially reaching 6 feet or more. The expected yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
