Lavender Sunset

Lavender Sunset or Indica-Dominant Hybrid is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 22% – 28% (High Potency) and CBD levels ranging from < 1% (Trace amounts). Known for its Floral, Citrus, Spicy profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (80cm – 120cm indoors; taller outdoors) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; benefits from organic amendments (bat guano/worm castings).

This Indica-Dominant Hybrid is of the Genetype: Boston Bob’s Chilavender x Golden Goat (BX). The Lavender Sunset strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Lavender Sunset in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-Dominant Hybrid is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Lavender Sunset needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°C – 29°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica-Dominant Hybrid growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Lavender Sunset needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Lavender Sunset is 18/6 or 20/4 (Light) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Lavender Sunset will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 80°F (21°C – 27°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% is achieved, the Indica-Dominant Hybrid will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Boston Bob’s Chilavender x Golden Goat (BX) is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Lavender Sunset is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High (Responsive to Topping and LST due to lateral branching).

The most exciting phase, when growing Boston Bob’s Chilavender x Golden Goat (BX) is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Lavender Sunset will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 35% – 45% so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Lavender Sunset is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica-Dominant Hybrid with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Strong lateral vigor; develops deep purple/lavender hues late in flower.

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
Temperature Sensitivity: To bring out the namesake "Lavender" purple hues, drop your nighttime temperatures by about 10°F during the final 2–3 weeks of Phase 3.

Aromatics: The terpene profile is exceptionally pungent. Ensure your carbon filters are fresh, as the floral/citrus scent is heavy during mid-to-late bloom.

Airflow: Because the buds can become quite dense (inherited from the Kush/Indica side), maintain strict humidity control in Phase 3 to prevent "bud rot" or powdery mildew.

Training: It has "good vigor" and responds well to a Scrog (Screen of Green) setup to support the chunky lateral flowers.
Lineage: Chilavender x Golden Goat
