Sonoma Coma
Sonoma Coma
Also known as: Coma, Mike's Coma
Overview
Sonoma Coma originated in Sonoma County, California and has gained recognition for its energetic effects and impressive genetics, leading it to win 1st Place Sativa at the 2012 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup. This sativa dominant hybrid (70% sativa/30% indica) strain has unknown genetics due to breeder secrecy, though the genetics remain a closely guarded recipe. It is thought to be first bred by Happy Lil Trees, based in Vallejo, California, though many speculate it is from this breeder.
The strain presents itself with tight, electric green buds which produce a thick coat of trichomes that sparkle in the sunlight, featuring a complex mixture of sweet tropical fruits and spiced, woody undertones that combine to give Sonoma Coma its distinct aroma. Contrary to what the name implies, Sonoma Coma is actually an energetic, uplifting sativa that produces an energetic invasion of heady effects producing bursts of creativity and euphoria. This award-winning strain first garnered attention after winning 3rd place in the 2011 San Francisco Cannabis Cup, but it was not until after it took home the 2012 award for 'Best Sativa' at the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup held in Los Angeles that it skyrocketed to soaring new heights.

Growing Information
Typical of Sativa-leaning strains, Sonoma Coma grows tall and is quite sensitive, thus while it proves to be a vigorous yielder outdoors, many growers prefer cultivating their strain indoors where factors such as lighting, humidity, and temperature can be easily adjusted. Moderate difficulty to grow with flowering time of 56-65 days (8-10 weeks) and high yield. Garden grown Sonoma Coma yields at least 16 ounces of buds per plant. Outdoor plants usually flower between the second or third week of October to early November. This sativa-leaning hybrid grows into tall, finicky plants that require a watchful eye, preferring warm temperatures and plenty of airflow, with more experienced growers able to boost yields using the ScrOG method.
