Hybrid

Also known as: Temple Sauce OG, Temple Sauce Kush

What is the Temple Sauce strain?

Temple Sauce is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Temple Sauce is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two prominent West Coast genetics: Temple Kush, a potent indica-dominant hybrid known for its relaxing effects and earthy flavor profile, with Sauce, a sativa-leaning strain celebrated for its complex terpene profile and uplifting cerebral effects. This strategic breeding aimed to create a balanced hybrid that combines the best attributes of both parent strains while developing its own distinctive characteristics.

Visually, Temple Sauce typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, sticky appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the dense floral clusters. The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its exceptionally resinous nature, with 'Sauce' alluding to the copious trichome production that makes the buds appear almost wet with resin.

Notable features of Temple Sauce include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its ability to deliver both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, Temple Sauce has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among users seeking a versatile hybrid for evening use. Its genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a valuable breeding parent in its own right, contributing to several derivative strains in recent years.

How do you grow Temple Sauce?

Temple Sauce is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become quite heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
