Also known as: Sweet Tooth, Sweet #1
Sweet Strain Overview
Sweet is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain originally developed by the breeder Spice of Life Seeds in the late 1990s. The strain gained significant recognition after winning multiple awards at the High Times Cannabis Cup in the early 2000s, including first place in the indica category in 2001. Its creation involved crossing multiple landrace genetics, primarily focusing on Afghani, Hawaiian, and Nepalese varieties, resulting in a well-rounded hybrid that has become a foundational strain in many breeding programs.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with bright orange pistils. Sweet produces a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, living up to its name. The plants typically display a moderate growth structure with broad leaves and good resistance to common molds and pests, making them relatively forgiving for cultivators of various experience levels.
Sweet has maintained popularity due to its balanced effects and reliable performance. While specific genetic details vary between different seed bank versions, the core characteristics remain consistent across most phenotypes. The strain's versatility has led to its use in creating numerous derivative strains, and it continues to be valued for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. Its stability and predictable effects have made it a favorite among both growers and consumers for over two decades.

Sweet Strain Growing Information
Sweet is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants usually reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Sweet responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. The plants have good resistance to mold and pests but benefit from proper airflow and humidity control during flowering.
