Spent Brass
What is the Spent Brass strain?
Spent Brass is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Spent Brass is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, primarily within the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Its exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation from mainstream seed banks, suggesting it may have originated from boutique or private breeding circles. The strain's name is believed to be a metaphorical reference to its effects, which users describe as providing a sense of calm relief after tension, akin to spent ammunition casings after firing.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of amber and milky-white trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking contrast. The foliage tends to be broad, indicating some indica influence in its genetic makeup.
Spent Brass is noted for its complex aromatic profile that evolves during cultivation and consumption. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique flavor characteristics. Due to its limited commercial availability, most information about this strain comes from user reports and small-scale cultivators rather than formal breeding documentation.

How do you grow Spent Brass?
Spent Brass is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Spent Brass responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining good 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 shows good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in proper conditions.
