Master Velvet
Also known as: Velvet Master
Master Velvet Strain Overview
Master Velvet is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest. The strain was developed through selective breeding techniques aimed at creating a visually striking plant with complex aromatic profiles and well-rounded effects. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding communities, Master Velvet gained recognition through cannabis competitions and connoisseur circles before becoming more widely available in legal markets.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance, featuring dense, conical buds that display a remarkable color contrast between deep purple and forest green foliage. These buds are typically coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give them a velvety texture, which inspired the strain's name. The visual appeal is further enhanced by vibrant orange pistils that weave through the dense flower structure. Master Velvet plants exhibit moderate to high resin production, making them suitable for extraction purposes.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that creates a multi-layered sensory experience. The strain has gained particular attention for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. Master Velvet has remained somewhat of a niche strain, primarily cultivated by boutique growers and available in select dispensaries, though its popularity has grown steadily among connoisseurs seeking unique genetic expressions.

Master Velvet Strain Growing Information
Master Velvet is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor cultivation in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C).
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) with proper training, while outdoor plants can grow to 5-6 feet (150-180 cm). Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot (450-600 grams per square meter) under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-24 ounces (450-680 grams) per plant. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering (40-50% RH) to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants respond well to low-stress training (LST) techniques and benefit from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
