Sandman
Also known as: Mr. Sandman
Sandman Strain Overview
Sandman is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created through a cross between Anesthesia and Blueberry strains. This strain has gained recognition for its powerful sedating effects and sweet, fruity flavor profile. The buds are characterized by their dense, pepper-shaped structure with bright neon green coloration, rich amber hairs, and a thick coating of crystal white trichomes that give them a sticky, resinous texture. The strain was developed to provide users with deep relaxation and sleep-inducing properties, earning its name from the mythical Sandman who brings sleep.
The strain has also been interpreted by other breeders, including Connected Cannabis Co.'s Mr. Sandman version, which features different genetics (Sunset Sherbet x Gelato 41) and presents with deep purple coloration. However, the classic Sandman strain remains most recognized for its Anesthesia x Blueberry lineage and potent indica effects that make it particularly valued for evening and nighttime use.

Sandman Strain Growing Information
Sandman is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks (56-65 days) for most phenotypes. Indoor plants typically remain compact and bushy with dense internodal stacking, making them suitable for limited space grows. Outdoor cultivation requires full sun exposure with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The strain prefers warm temperate climates with ideal temperatures between 75-85°F during the day and 62-68°F at night. Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during vegetative growth and 40-45% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew. Plants can reach heights of 6+ feet outdoors with yields potentially exceeding 2 pounds per plant under optimal conditions. The strain shows good resistance to mold but requires proper humidity control.
