Soft Lightning
Soft Lightning Strain Overview
Soft Lightning is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community. The strain appears to have been developed by boutique breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive sensory characteristics. While comprehensive historical documentation is limited, Soft Lightning has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique combination of effects and aromatic profile.
The strain's name reflects its reported effects—a gentle, illuminating experience rather than an overwhelming one. Soft Lightning plants typically display a moderately dense structure with medium-height growth patterns. The buds are often characterized by vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast.
Notable features include the strain's complex terpene profile and its reputation for providing a balanced experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The relatively high THC content (typically 18-24%) makes it a potent option, yet users frequently describe the effects as smooth and manageable rather than overpowering. The strain remains somewhat elusive in mainstream markets but has developed a dedicated following among those who have encountered it.

Soft Lightning Strain Growing Information
Soft Lightning is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable 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, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure and yield. Soft Lightning prefers stable temperatures (70-80°F during day, 65-70°F at night) and moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering). Special considerations include monitoring for mold in dense buds and providing adequate airflow throughout the canopy.
