Sail Away
Sail Away Strain Overview
Sail Away is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Blue Dream and Sour Diesel. This combination creates a versatile cultivar that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine Blue Dream's smooth euphoria with Sour Diesel's energetic effects. Sail Away has gained moderate popularity among recreational users seeking a well-rounded experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward either sedation or stimulation.
Visually, Sail Away plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense, conical structure. The flowers typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile combines sweet berry notes from its Blue Dream lineage with the fuel-like undertones characteristic of Sour Diesel.
Sail Away is known for its balanced effects that begin with an uplifting cerebral onset before transitioning to gentle physical relaxation. The strain's name references its reported ability to provide a smooth, drifting experience rather than an overwhelming psychoactive journey. While not as widely available as its parent strains, Sail Away has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its predictable, manageable effects and complex flavor profile.

Sail Away Strain Growing Information
Sail Away is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Sail Away plants prefer a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. They can be grown both indoors and outdoors, reaching a medium height of 4-6 feet. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration.
