Prometheus Rising
Prometheus Rising Strain Overview
Prometheus Rising is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community. The strain is named after Robert Anton Wilson's 1983 book 'Prometheus Rising,' which explores consciousness evolution and psychological models, suggesting the breeders intended this strain to offer mind-expanding or consciousness-altering effects. While specific breeding details are not widely documented, it appears to have been developed by boutique breeders rather than major commercial seed companies.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds often have a slightly elongated structure with tight calyx formation. Prometheus Rising is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones and a hint of spice.
What makes Prometheus Rising notable is its reputation among enthusiasts as a 'philosophical' or 'contemplative' strain, with users often reporting that it encourages deep thinking and creative introspection. The strain has maintained a somewhat cult following rather than achieving mainstream popularity, which contributes to its relative scarcity in commercial markets. Its effects are described as cerebral yet balanced, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage.

Prometheus Rising Strain Growing Information
Prometheus Rising is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) with a somewhat bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to improve light penetration and airflow. Prometheus Rising is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation, particularly during flowering when the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are average, though the plants respond well to slightly higher phosphorus levels during flowering.
