Also known as: Subsonic
What is the Sub-Sonic strain?
Sub-Sonic is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Sub-Sonic is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by the breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics. The strain was created by crossing the classic indica strain Northern Lights #5 with a select phenotype of Vortex, a sativa-dominant hybrid. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the heavy, sedating effects of Northern Lights while incorporating some of the cerebral qualities and complex terpene profile from Vortex. The strain was specifically bred for its strong physical relaxation properties and has gained recognition among indica enthusiasts seeking deep body effects.
Visually, Sub-Sonic plants typically display classic indica characteristics with a compact, bushy structure and dense, resinous buds. The flowers often exhibit deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler temperatures. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, skunky notes inherited from Northern Lights with more subtle citrus and pine undertones contributed by the Vortex lineage.
Sub-Sonic is known for its powerful sedative effects that come on gradually but build to a pronounced physical relaxation. Users often describe the experience as beginning with mild cerebral effects before transitioning to deep body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention for its potential to induce sleep and provide relief from physical discomfort. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Sub-Sonic maintains a dedicated following among medical cannabis users and indica connoisseurs who appreciate its consistent, heavy effects.

How do you grow Sub-Sonic?
Sub-Sonic is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early 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 prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in temperate climates with consistent temperatures. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions.
