Special Sauce
Also known as: Oregon CBD Special Sauce, Special Sauce CBD, Secret Sauce
Special Sauce Strain Overview
Special Sauce is a high-CBD, hemp-derived cannabis strain developed by Oregon CBD Seeds as their flagship cultivar. This strain was created by crossing the original Special Sauce strain with Early Resin Berry (ERB), specifically designed to produce high cannabidiol (CBD) content while maintaining minimal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels. It's an industrial hemp strain noted for astringent berry smells, pink stigmas, and a high oil return. Special Sauce CBD flower has a moderately dense structure that produces thick, Christmas tree-shaped resinous buds. Its flowers are a forest green color with touches of dark purple and pink calyxes framed with orange-red hairs.
The strain has won multiple awards including 2nd place in the 2019 Oregon Growers Cup, 2nd place in the 2020 Judges Favorite Golden Grow Awards, and 2nd place in the 2020 Cultivation Classic. The Special Sauce strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid with a high percentage of CBD and negligible amounts of THC. Oregon CBD Seeds has never shared its proprietary genetics, making this strain exclusively available through licensed growers using their genetics. The strain is particularly valued for its exotic astringent berry aromas, vibrant pink pistils, and some of the highest oil yields in industrial hemp.

Special Sauce Strain Growing Information
Like many cannabis varieties with specific growing needs, the Special Sauce strain thrives best indoors. This gives you the opportunity to fine-tune all the different needs that the plant requires and adds an extra facet of protection as your cannabis reaches maturity. For the most part, Special Sauce will grow best in light premixed soil that isn't too dense and moist. The fast-growing plant should flower in 56 days in ideal conditions, though sources report flowering times ranging from 49 to 56 days to 8-10 weeks. The strain takes about 7 weeks to reach the flowering phase which is relatively short when compared with other varieties. The moderate yield comes up to about 4 ounces per foot of the plant, making it reasonably rewarding to grow. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for greater control over environmental factors. The plant exhibits good resistance to pests and mold, making it suitable for novice growers. When grown indoors, Special Sauce requires consistent lighting cycles. During the vegetative stage, a 18/6 light/dark cycle is optimal, while a 12/12 cycle is recommended for flowering. Full-spectrum LED lights are ideal for maximizing resin and terpene production.
