Sun Ra
Also known as: Ra
What is the Sun Ra strain?
Sun Ra is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Sun Ra is a sativa-dominant hybrid that comes from Colorado Seed Inc, created by crossing two of the company's proprietary sativas: Sunburn and Rebel God Smoke. Ostensibly named for the American jazz musician (who, in turn, named himself after the Ancient Egyptian sun god) Sun Ra has well-balanced effects and a complex, fruity flavor profile. This strain's THC content has been measured at between 17% and 23%, with some sources reporting up to 24%. Sun Ra stands out from the pack right away with medium to large-sized flowers. The buds adhere in a conical formation, tapering down from a broad base into a pointed tip. Despite mostly sativa genetics, they appear to have more of an indica-typical internal structure, composed of a dense core of tightly-curled leaves. These leaves themselves are a muted shade of olive green and are capped off by curly orange pistils and glittering, translucent trichomes. Note: There is some confusion in available sources, as some references cite a different Sun Ra strain from Bodhi Seeds with different genetics (San Fernando Valley OG × Wookie #15), but the Colorado Seed Inc version appears more widely documented and consistent across multiple sources.
