Also known as: Sandstorm
What is the Sand Storm strain?
Sand Storm is a indica cannabis strain with up to 21.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and musky flavor profile.
Sand Storm is a 100% indica cannabis variety developed in 1998 by Cannabiogen. This strain is the direct result of crossing a particularly potent and cerebral Pakistani Chitral Kush hashplant with a traditional Moroccan cultivar known as Mi7-B (or E7-B). The strain proved its worth by coming in second place at Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup in 2005. Sand Storm is characterized as a vigorous hybrid that's easy to cultivate, producing a stocky plant with sturdy stems and branches supporting lush dark green foliage and enormous, incredibly solid buds generously covered with trichomes. Light trichome coverage gives the buds an almost sparkling appearance, a quality that many connoisseurs associate with high cannabinoid concentration. With parental plants from traditional hash-producing countries on both sides of this cross, Sand Storm is an excellent choice for making cannabis extracts of all kinds, and its hashplant heritage lends the flowers a mouthwatering musky, bittersweet smell and flavour reminiscent of old school hash.
