Shadow Master
Also known as: Shadowmaster
Shadow Master Strain Overview
Shadow Master is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained a cult following among cannabis connoisseurs for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development history. What is known suggests it emerged from the underground breeding scene in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s, though some sources suggest it may have European lineage. The strain's name reflects its dark, mysterious appearance and powerful, enveloping effects that some users describe as 'shadow-like' in their ability to subtly alter perception and mood.
The plant typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure characteristic of indica varieties. Shadow Master's visual appearance is particularly notable for its deep purple and dark green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The dark pigmentation becomes more pronounced as the plant matures and experiences cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain's buds are typically quite resinous, making them popular among extract producers and concentrate enthusiasts.
Shadow Master has maintained a somewhat elusive status in the cannabis community, rarely appearing in mainstream dispensaries but occasionally surfacing in specialty markets and among dedicated growers. Its rarity has contributed to its mystique, with some considering it a 'hidden gem' among indica varieties. The strain's effects are reported to be predominantly physical and sedating, though with enough cerebral influence to prevent complete couch-lock in moderate doses. Experienced users often recommend this strain for evening or nighttime use due to its strong relaxing properties.

Shadow Master Strain Growing Information
Shadow Master is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extreme heat) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
