The-Special
Also known as: The Special, Special
The-Special Strain Overview
The-Special is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its well-rounded effects and distinctive flavor profile. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding literature, it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely developed by boutique breeders seeking to create a versatile strain suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. The strain's name reflects its reputation among users as a particularly 'special' experience that combines multiple desirable characteristics without overwhelming intensity.
The plant exhibits medium-height growth with dense, conical buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are generously coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that provide visual contrast. The-Special's buds are known for their tight structure and resinous texture, making them popular among extract artists as well as traditional consumers.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that creates a multi-layered sensory experience and its balanced genetic heritage that provides effects appreciated by both indica and sativa enthusiasts. The strain has maintained a consistent following in certain regional markets but has not achieved widespread commercial distribution, contributing to its somewhat elusive status in the broader cannabis landscape. Its reputation rests primarily on user reports rather than extensive laboratory analysis or breeding documentation.

The-Special Strain Growing Information
The-Special is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plant typically reaches a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors, responding well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces each under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, and it shows good resistance to common molds and pests. Special considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions during flowering to prevent hermaphroditism and providing adequate support for the dense buds in late flowering stages.
