S 98
Also known as: S98, S-98
S 98 Strain Overview
S 98 is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the cannabis breeding community in the late 1990s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and the era of its development, with the 'S' often interpreted as standing for 'Skunk' or 'Special' depending on different accounts within the cannabis community. Breeders developed this strain during a period when hybridization techniques were becoming more sophisticated, aiming to create a plant with balanced effects and reliable growth characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves often accented with purple hues and covered in a generous coating of trichomes. The buds are usually compact with orange pistils weaving through the resinous surface. S 98 is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle fruity undertones, creating a distinctive sensory experience that has maintained its popularity among certain cannabis enthusiasts.
While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, S 98 has maintained a cult following due to its reported balanced effects and reliable performance. The strain represents an interesting example of late-90s cannabis breeding, developed during a transitional period when breeders were moving beyond simple landrace crosses to more sophisticated hybrid creations. Its continued presence in some genetic libraries suggests it has qualities that breeders have found valuable for further development.

S 98 Strain Growing Information
S 98 is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late 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 prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and require good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, and the plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
