Lavender

Lavender is an indica-dominant cultivar published by Soma Seeds of Amsterdam, commonly attributed to Super Skunk crossed with Big Skunk Korean and an Afghani-Hawaiian line. A first-place indica result at the 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup is commonly cited in its history, placing it among the more decorated indicas of that era's coffeeshop scene. The cultivar is also cited as ancestral material in later purple-leaning American breeding, and it reaches US markets both as flower and imported seed.

Profile

Flowers are typically medium, dense, and dramatically colored, with deep violet-to-near-black outer leaves shading over dark green and a heavy resin coat. The aroma is commonly described as floral and spicy, with lavender, sweet hash, and a warm skunky base. Flavor is generally reported as smooth, floral, and lightly sweet with a spiced finish. Linalool, myrcene, and caryophyllene are among the terpenes most frequently reported in lab testing of flower sold under the Lavender name.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report a deep, settled body ease with a soft, drifting headspace, generally described as an unhurried evening profile. Some consumers commonly report a slow onset that rewards patience early in a session. Reported experiences vary with individual tolerance and consumption method, and these descriptions do not represent medical or therapeutic outcomes.

Cultivation notes

Growers typically report flowering around 8 to 10 weeks, with plants that stretch more than many indicas and benefit from early support. Color expression is commonly reported to deepen with cooler late-flowering nights, and the cultivar is grown both indoors and in mild outdoor climates. Yields are generally described as moderate, with the violet coloration and floral aroma cited as the line's main draws.
