Also known as: Space Explorer, Space Express
SpaceEx Strain Overview
SpaceEx is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest. The strain was developed by crossing two popular parent strains to create a balanced hybrid with both cerebral and physical effects. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure due to the underground nature of its initial development, SpaceEx gained recognition through cannabis competitions and word-of-mouth recommendations among connoisseurs.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives the flowers a silvery appearance. The nugs typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating a visually striking contrast. SpaceEx plants produce a complex aromatic profile that combines earthy base notes with brighter, more exotic top notes.
SpaceEx is noted for its balanced effects that begin with an uplifting cerebral onset before transitioning to more relaxing physical sensations. The strain has gained popularity among users seeking a versatile experience suitable for both daytime and evening use. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, SpaceEx has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor profile.

SpaceEx Strain Growing Information
SpaceEx is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. SpaceEx responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering phase. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity levels.
