Space Station
Also known as: Space Station #5, SS#5
Space Station Strain Overview
Space Station is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its unique combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2000s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Its name reflects both its reported effects and the cosmic appearance of its dense, trichome-covered buds that resemble distant stars against a dark green foliage background.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized plants that produce conical, tightly-packed buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of milky-white trichomes. Space Station's aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor often includes hints of spice and diesel upon combustion.
Space Station has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis culture due to its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced nature. The strain's genetics have occasionally been used in breeding projects to introduce its unique terpene profile and balanced effects to new hybrid varieties.

Space Station Strain Growing Information
Space Station is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Space Station requires careful nutrient management as it can be sensitive to overfeeding, and benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
