Sugar Babe
Sugar Babe Strain Overview
Sugar Babe is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica/30% sativa or 80% indica/20% sativa) created by Paradise Seeds through a cross of Afghani Indica and Swiss White. Originally developed during Paradise Seeds' breeding program in Switzerland in the early 2000s, this strain was part of a collection that included other notable varieties like Rox, Swiss Bliss, and strains still sold today. Despite its sweet name suggesting a sugary profile, Sugar Babe is known for its distinctive sharp, metallic lemon flavor with a clean metal taste and harshly chemical aftertaste reminiscent of ammonia. The strain gets its name from its appearance rather than taste, featuring oversized dense rotund spade-shaped light minty green nuggets with abundant almost clear amber hairs and a super frosty layer of white and amber crystal trichomes that create a sugar-coated appearance reminiscent of Alpine mountaintops where it originated. Although indica genetics dominate, Sugar Babe produces surprisingly energetic and uplifting effects that encourage activities and outdoor recreation rather than typical sedative indica effects.

Sugar Babe Strain Growing Information
Sugar Babe is well-adapted for outdoor cultivation, particularly in Mediterranean climates like California and Australia, finishing by October in Northern Europe with better yields closer to the equator between 40° and 15° latitudes. Indoor cultivation requires a flowering period of 9-10 weeks (approximately 77 days). The strain is available only as feminized seeds from Paradise Seeds and produces compact, full buds with exceptional trichome production. Plants are described as powerful indica specimens that truly look 'sugar frosted' as their Alpine origins suggest. Difficulty level is moderate, suitable for growers with some experience.
