Supernatural
Also known as: Super Nat, Super Natural
Overview
Supernatural is a sativa-dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix and first bred around 2009-2010. The strain achieved significant recognition when it took 2nd place for Best Sativa at the 2012 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in Seattle, establishing it as one of the breakthrough strains for the breeder. Created as a cross between Grape God and The Flav, Supernatural represents the first official strain from Exotic Genetix and has since become a staple in their genetic library. The strain is known for its award-winning genetics and has been used to create numerous other popular hybrids.
Supernaturals buds are visually striking, featuring medium-sized, dense, spade-shaped nugs with purple and dark olive green coloration. The flowers are adorned with dark purple hairs and covered in a fine layer of amber crystal trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance with a super sticky coating of sweet syrupy resin. The strain exhibits typical sativa growth patterns with tall stature and significant stretch during flowering, requiring experienced cultivation techniques. Despite its sativa-dominant genetics, Supernatural is known for producing surprisingly sedating effects at higher doses, earning it a reputation for having almost 'unnatural' effects that can transition from energizing to sleep-inducing.

Growing Information
Supernatural is a moderately challenging strain to grow, requiring experience with sativa-dominant plants. It has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks (50-56 days) indoors and finishes in late October when grown outdoors. The plant exhibits typical sativa characteristics with medium to tall height and a significant 2-3x stretch during flowering. Growers should implement multiple topping techniques early to prepare for the stretch and maximize yield. The strain produces medium to heavy yields, with reports of 12-16 ounces per plant when grown properly. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring warm, semi-humid conditions with plentiful sunlight when grown outside. Due to its pungent aroma, odor control methods may be necessary for discreet cultivation. The plant develops a robust bush structure when properly trained and responds well to LST (Low Stress Training) techniques.
