Also known as: The REM, REM
TheREM Strain Overview
TheREM is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its potent sedative effects and unique flavor profile. The strain's name references the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage, suggesting its strong sleep-inducing properties. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding literature, TheREM appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders focusing on high-THC indica varieties with specific therapeutic applications.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. TheREM's aroma combines earthy, woody notes with subtle sweet undertones, while the flavor profile includes distinct pine and herbal elements with a smooth smoke that is generally well-tolerated by users.
Notable features of TheREM include its particularly strong body relaxation effects and its reputation among users for promoting sleep. The strain's effects are typically described as deeply calming and physically sedating, making it popular among evening users. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, TheREM has developed a following among indica enthusiasts seeking potent relaxation effects.

TheREM Strain Growing Information
TheREM is considered a moderate-difficulty 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 prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive in warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climates. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. TheREM responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
