What is the Lavender strain?

Lavender is a indica cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and floral flavor profile.

Lavender is an award-winning indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (80% indica, 20% sativa) originally created by Soma Seeds in the late 1990s. This strain is a four-way cross between Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, Afghani, and Hawaiian genetics, bringing together diverse international genetics to create a unique and sought-after variety. The strain has gained significant recognition for its fusion of lavender aroma, profound relaxation effects, and therapeutic benefits, winning multiple awards including 1st Place at the High Times Cannabis Cup 2005 Indica category and several other prestigious cups.

Lavender is renowned for producing some of the darkest purple colorations among cannabis plants, with leaves that can turn nearly black at the end of the plant's life cycle. This distinctive coloration is caused by anthocyanins, water-soluble plant pigments responsible for the strain's signature purple hue. The strain produces dense buds with a distinctive floral and spicy aroma reminiscent of lavender flowers and Afghan hash. With THC levels typically ranging from 14% to 27%, Lavender delivers powerful indica effects while maintaining moderate difficulty for cultivation, making it accessible to both novice and experienced growers.
