Lavender

Lavender characteristics

Lavender feminised seeds

Lavender's hallmark lies in its flowers: an intense scent of lavender and fresh blooms, paired with looks that can shift from green to mauve, violet or even metallic purple. Colour expression depends on phenotype and environment, so not every plant reaches the same intensity.

Its lineage combines Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean and Afghani Hawaiian. That base brings Skunk, Afghan and Hawaiian traits together in a classic indica-dominant genetic, close to 60% indica and 40% sativa. As a feminised line it can show some variability: taller, lankier plants may appear alongside compact, bushy ones, but the floral profile usually remains the common thread.

The buds tend to be dense, resinous and highly aromatic. On the nose you may find lavender, flowers, herbs, spices, sweet earth, hash and Skunk notes. On the palate it keeps that floral character with sweet, herbal, spicy and woody nuances, plus possible hints of violet, incense or musky hash depending on the phenotype.

How Lavender behaves during the grow

Our breeders consider it a genetic that is not usually especially demanding, although its phenotypic variability means each plant deserves a close eye. Flowering normally lasts 8 to 10 weeks, with many selections finishing at around 60-70 days. Outdoors, harvest usually arrives in October, and it does especially well in mild, sunny and stable climates.

It can be grown indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse and can reach 180 to 240 cm when given room. Some phenotypes take a little longer to root, but then show vigorous vegetative growth and a good disposition to yield. Hence a practical tip: if rooting starts slowly, give the plant time before asking it for rapid growth.

Among the phenotypes observed, some harvested around day 63 keep deepening their metallic purple over the following week, while others stand out for an extremely floral aroma reminiscent of a garden of fresh flowers, lotus blossom and gardenia. These are traits seen in specific plants, not characteristics guaranteed in every phenotype.

Lavender effects

Typical THC sits at roughly 14% to 20%, according to our breeders' tests, while CBD usually stays between 0% and 1%. Potency can vary with phenotype, cultivation and batch, so it is more accurate to speak of a medium-high to high potency profile.

In some cases the effect opens with a cerebral, euphoric, mood-lifting phase before moving into deeper physical relaxation. The indica side gradually takes over and can end in a heavy, calming and sedating feeling, especially in larger amounts.

On the senses, Lavender is like a dark garden as evening falls: lavender, fresh flowers, spices, sweet earth and incense over a base of hash and Skunk. Linalool underpins its floral side, while myrcene and caryophyllene reinforce the herbal, earthy, spicy and warm tones.
