Sunshine
Also known as: Sunshine OG, Sun Shine
What is the Sunshine strain?
Sunshine is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Sunshine is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Canadian breeders Peace Naturals Project, who also produce various THC concentrates like oils and creams. The strain is also known as "Sunshine OG" and is made by crossing Chemdawg and Sunshine Daydream. This strain is a 70% sativa and 30% indica that expresses itself with potent highs. Although Sunshine's genetic background remains a proprietary secret, there's no denying the strain's mental power, which allows for both creativity and clear-eyed focus. Sunshine's flowers can be visually underwhelming -- these buds tend to be small and pebbly, clinging together in dense, popcorn-like formations. The leaves are a pale green and are threaded through with orange and rust-colored hairs (which are actually pistils, structures meant to catch pollen from fertilizing male plants). Finally, cloudy white trichomes cover the inner and outer surfaces of these flowers, giving them a slightly white sheen and accounting for their high psychoactivity. The strain's name does a good job of describing its uplifting effects that leave smokers happy and optimistic.

How do you grow Sunshine?
Peace Naturals Project has not made seeds of Sunshine available for sale online. As such, prospective growers must obtain clippings of the strain from a trusted source in order to grow genetically identical "clones." Sunshine can be grown indoors or outdoors, although outdoor success depends on a semi-humid climate. The flowering period lasts for around 10–11 weeks, which is relatively long. Sunshine develops a classic sativa structure—tall with wide internodal spacing. Growers need to attend to this plant with size-control techniques like topping and LST. It's necessary, otherwise the stems can snap under the weight of the crystal-covered buds. As typical for its Sativa genetics, Sunshine is pretty tall, with shrubs reaching 60''-80'', and may require pruning to maintain airflow and light penetration. It takes 56-65 days for its blooming cycle and rewards gardeners with beautiful flowers. Outdoor growers should only consider this plant if they have experience growing marijuana and live in hot climates. This strain is considered moderately difficult to grow due to its tall sativa structure and specific environmental requirements.
