What is the Lavender Special strain?
Lavender Special is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and lavender flavor profile.
Lavender Special is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Lavender with a special phenotype of an unknown indica strain, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from Super Skunk or Afghani landrace varieties. The strain was created by breeders seeking to enhance the aromatic qualities and relaxing effects of traditional Lavender while increasing potency and yield. First appearing in the early 2000s, Lavender Special gained popularity among medical cannabis patients and connoisseurs for its distinctive sensory profile and consistent effects.
Visually, Lavender Special plants produce dense, conical buds with a striking color palette that includes deep purple, violet, and lavender hues interspersed with vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance. The strain's most notable characteristic is its complex aroma profile that combines floral lavender notes with undertones of earthiness, spice, and subtle sweetness.
Lavender Special is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention in the medical cannabis community, though comprehensive scientific research remains limited. Growers appreciate Lavender Special for its moderate cultivation difficulty and reliable performance in various growing environments.

How do you grow Lavender Special?
Lavender Special is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors.
