Sandstorm
Also known as: Sand Storm
What is the Sandstorm strain?
Sandstorm is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its sleepy effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Sandstorm is a 100% pure indica strain developed by Cannabiogen in 1998, created through a cross between a potent Pakistani Chitral Kush hashplant and a traditional Moroccan cultivar (also known as Mi7-B). Descending from two great hash lines, this indica variety offers a high that targets both the body and mind in almost equal measure, with the strain proving its worth by coming in second place at Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup in 2005. Sandstorm is a vigorous hybrid that's easy to cultivate, producing stocky plants with sturdy stems and branches supporting lush dark green foliage and enormous, incredibly solid buds generously covered with trichomes. The buds are fluffy and leafy spade-shaped neon green nugs with dark purple leaves and undertones and a sparse spattering of thin amber hairs. The strain exhibits three main phenotypes: white/green varieties that are more citrus and lemony in nature, green/purple types, and completely purple varieties ranging from deep purples to pink/red colors. The taste profiles range from lemony citrus to lavender/strawberry, offering very complex aromas like a perfume. With parental plants from traditional hash-producing countries on both sides of this cross, Sandstorm is an excellent choice for making cannabis extracts of all kinds, and its hashplant heritage lends the flowers a mouthwatering musky, bittersweet smell and flavor reminiscent of old school hash. Buds give off aromas of sweetness contrasted by sourness, with taste defined by aspects of earth, spices, sweet, and sour.

How do you grow Sandstorm?
Sandstorm has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks with medium height and average stretch characteristics. It offers spectacular development under both artificial light indoors and outdoors, with large yields of 500-600g per square meter. The strain requires a minimum 30-day vegetative period for high yields. These seeds are suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation; however, due to the density of the buds, they can fall prey to mold, so adequate ventilation must be a consideration in all grow situations, particularly in greenhouses. Cannabiogen recommends allowing at least 30 days of vegetative growth before switching to flower to optimize yield and performance. The plants work perfectly both indoors and outdoors. Suitable for indoor, warm outdoor climate, temperate outdoor climate, and cool outdoor climate conditions. The strain is considered easy to grow and is particularly valued for hash production due to its resinous nature.
