Due to its stable genetics, the Lavender strain of weed produces plants that look very similar to each other. They are-easy-to-grow and can tolerate less than perfect grow conditions such as too low or too high temps and nutrient dosages. The breeder recommends shorter vegging when grown in SOG; otherwise plants tend to form many side branches and stretch a lot during flowering time. However, you might also get a less bushy pheno with only a few side shoots and a dominating central cola. Based on growers’ info, the buds are extremely dense and compact. Quite resinous, too, or at least the trichomes are very conspicuous against the deep purple background of the flowers and sugar leaves. The Lavender yields quite well.
Effect:
This pot strain has moderate THC content, so the effect is never overwhelming but still strong enough and long lasting. Users with high THC tolerance describe it as mellow, easy-going and clear-headed, allowing one to function. However, if overindulged, the Lavender will give you a lazy stone, perfect for the end of the day.
Good for:
Relaxing after work, spending an evening in front of the TV. People with tolerance medicate themselves with the Lavender during the day.
Lavender brings together a world of weed. Strains with histories that traverse Afghanistan, Hawaii, Korea, the U.S, and Europe are all melded together in this 3-way cross. An exotic looking strain, Lavender develops the darkest purple coloration you can imagine.
The color is intense, with the leaves turning nearly to black at the ends, they are so deeply saturated with color. The extra dense buds give off a sensually spicy smell akin to Afghani hash.
The high calyx to leaf ratio and the legginess of this plant make for simplified manicuring. While not as tall as the Haze strains, Lavender can shoot to tall heights when allowed an extended vegetation period before being placed into the flowering phase. If grown in a sea of green, Soma recommends a shortening the veg cycle in order to control the height. This strain will also do well as a multi-branched plant.
Outdoor
Outdoors, this variety can thrive in a most temperate zones, although arid climates known for their rich agricultural promise are of course optimal. Lavender has a flavor that is similar to Afghani hash, producing a captivating high that circulates through every chakra. A terrific evening or rainy day smoke, Lavender will leave you feeling relaxed and mellow, possibly to the point of sleep.
Reviews
zels420 (seedfinder.eu): If you have little or no experience this plant is for you. Very easy to clone, veg, and flower. The strong skunk influence can make it susceptible to spider mites though. The aroma is very unique and gives the bud a lot of bag appeal. Very little stretching with this plant and side branching is manageable. Excellent choice for omega garden... Thank you Soma for making this winner
Guest (cannabissearch.com): i did get about 3 zips per plant... not as strong as i like but she was up against the alien Og tahoe so you know lol
Guest (cannabissearch.com): Its a big producer but i dont like the high 2 weak fora og smoker Indica is not my thing
Guest (cannabissearch.com): Just got myself a few 8th of this Lavender. I must say I am so very very impressed. As already mentioned in so many reviews written on this strain: it tastes the wa lavender smells, and it has a fantastic afghani hash undertone. The high is very smooth, couchlocky , and easygoing. The antihistaminic properties are excellent, and the effect stays well over 2 hours. I am in doubt what I like more ; a pure sticky afghani indica (like sesni's afghani#1), or Lavender. I think I have found a new favourite....
Guest (cannabissearch.com): i have a lavender plant literally a foot from my front door. i don't have to tell you that its one of my all time favorites
Gainster (icmag.com): This strain will stretch out on you if you're not careful. I veged with 1000W halide and bloomed with 2000Ws sodium. Most of my room was filled with NL. This was an experiment. My first SOMA Lav seeds had a low germination, but I was given a replacement from SD. New ones did much better. I only grew two of them to maturity out of the 7 that sprouted, both female of course. One male from the seven was used to collect pollen, the rest were let go. These two females looked nearly identical, with one putting on a little more resin. Overall a super smoke. Flavor and smell were top notch. I prefer short, bushy plants and Lavendar is NOT one of them, but it's a must if you love great flavor and relaxing body medicine. One note, none of it turned purple. Most leaves turned bright yellow a couple weeks before harvest, quite the opposite of what I expected in that area. It was hotter than hell in my town during this crop, and I had to use lots of AC to keep the room cool. I have a hard time believing there was any N problem, but I suppose it's always possible. I take a lot of time to mix my organic soil with lots of good stuff so I think it's likely that the cool temps were to blame for no purple. I could very well be wrong though. I'll be trying again this winter when it's not important to cool the room off so much. Overall, I'd say get yourself some Lavendar, it's great smoke.
crazedtimmy (rollitup.org): I think its all about the way you grow it, iv had some lavender and it was BOmB, chronic as fudge, but ya im not sure if i can pull it off as good, my homie grew it for the disp. in frisco and it was always A+
rockymtnhigh (rollitup.org): I've got 2 big lavenders going, grown from seed. Seems to be good, stable genetics, as both plants look almost exactly the same. And man, they look freaking sick! I've grown strains with dense buds before, but never like this. I'm just past halfway through the cycle, and they've already got huge, HEAVY, dense tops, as well as nice sized colas on the ends of each arm. The buds feel like wood! Looks like they'll produce a 1/2 lb per, maybe more. They haven't turned purple yet, but like I said, they're just past halfway through. So covered in yellow pistils that you can even see the green on the buds, only the leaves. If this turns purple, it's going to look like the sickest stuff on earth. In addition to the Lavender, some other strains I've found some really good phenos of are LA Confidential by DNA, Lemon Skunk by DNA, LSD by Barney's Farm, and Jack Flash by Sensi. All grown in organic Sunshine#4 and fed with Age Old nutes.
amphilos (kindgreenbuds.com): Excellent strain and easy on the blood stream, although I have CVI ie chronic venous insufficiency I am using mmj to keep back the use of drugs or other addictive drugs sold by pharmacy companies, although I do supplement with Ibuprophen and tylenol from time to time it seems nothing will help the pain… own a personal this strain seems to be good for helping and the mood or plesantness of the substance last about 4 hours...

The legendary breeder Soma himself tells the story of his award-winning weed strain, its unique colors and smells and provides information about its medicinal properties.
A top-shelf strain but not for the novice growers! Anything from over- and underwatering to feeding mistakes to temperature fluctuations can result in hermies.
A commercial outdoor strain. Easy-to-grow, mold-resistant, it can be harvested by the beginning of October. The green pheno is higher yielding and packs a stronger punch.
This stocky indica is ideal for small grow rooms. The finished product will give you a powerful and long lasting happy high, good for relaxing and sleeping.
