Tempest
Tempest Strain Overview
Tempest is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two potent parent strains, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat obscure in public records. The strain emerged in the late 2010s and gained popularity among experienced cannabis users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. Breeders aimed to create a strain that combined cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, resulting in a versatile hybrid suitable for various occasions.
Visually, Tempest buds are typically dense and conical with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, indicating high cannabinoid content. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle diesel undertones. When properly cured, Tempest produces a smooth smoke that translates its aromatic complexity into flavor.
Notable features of Tempest include its relatively fast flowering time and moderate growth difficulty, making it accessible to intermediate cultivators. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields when grown under optimal conditions. Its balanced effects profile has made it popular among users seeking both mental clarity and physical comfort without overwhelming sedation or stimulation.

Tempest Strain Growing Information
Tempest is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Tempest prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Tempest produces medium to high yields, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during late flowering.
