Niagara
Niagara Strain Overview
Niagara is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain known for its energizing effects and distinctive citrus aroma. The strain was developed by T.H. Seeds, a Dutch seed company, through selective breeding of landrace genetics. Its name references the powerful, flowing energy of Niagara Falls, which breeders sought to capture in the strain's uplifting cerebral effects. The exact genetic lineage remains proprietary information from the breeder, though it is believed to involve tropical sativa landraces.
Visually, Niagara plants typically display bright green buds with vibrant orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The buds are often dense and resinous, with a structure that reflects its sativa heritage. The strain is particularly noted for its pronounced citrus aroma, often described as a blend of lemon, lime, and tropical fruit notes, accompanied by subtle earthy undertones. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a smooth, fruity smoke that is generally well-tolerated by users.
Niagara has gained recognition among sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, energizing effects that are less likely to cause anxiety or paranoia compared to some other sativa strains. It is considered a daytime strain suitable for creative activities, social situations, or physical tasks. The strain's relatively balanced effects profile and appealing flavor have contributed to its steady popularity since its introduction, though it remains less common than some mainstream sativa varieties.

Niagara Strain Growing Information
Niagara is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor growers can expect moderate to high yields with proper care. Plants tend to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, reaching heights of 150-200 cm indoors and potentially over 250 cm outdoors. Niagara responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants have good resistance to common molds and pests, but adequate airflow is recommended due to the dense bud structure.
