Space Strain Overview
Space is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history. The strain is believed to have been developed through selective breeding of sativa-dominant genetics, with some sources suggesting it may involve crosses with classic strains like Cinderella 99 or other fruity sativa varieties. Its name reflects both its cerebral effects and the cosmic appearance of its resin-coated buds.
The strain produces medium-sized, conical buds that are typically dense and covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a sparkling, space-like appearance. The coloration ranges from bright green to lime green, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the flowers. The buds are known for their sticky texture and resin production, making them popular among concentrate enthusiasts.
Space is recognized for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it versatile for various times of day. The strain has maintained a cult following among sativa-leaning hybrid enthusiasts, though it has become somewhat rare in modern dispensaries as newer hybrids have gained popularity. Its genetic stability and consistent effects have made it a reliable choice for those seeking predictable, manageable psychoactive experiences.

Space Strain Growing Information
Space is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and develop a bushy structure with good lateral branching.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds, monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, and providing adequate support during flowering as the resin-heavy buds can become quite heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
