Soma’s Sacred Seeds
This all-indica strain is not only delicious, it is Soma-licious. If
you follow the breeding scene you may already know that Soma
strains have a reputation as heavenly headstash that deliver on
taste. Soma’s reverence for the delicious is also evident in his
dedication to growing with organics in soil. So when Soma says
that Soma-licious is one of the tastiest strains he’s ever
developed, it is a safe bet to say this variety is going to deliver
some fantastically dank flavors.
The Soma-licious mother is the LA Confidential developed by
DNA Genetics. LA Confidential swept many awards in the mid2000s and gathered a celebrity following. This mother plant truly captures what kush is meant to be, deriving from an OG
Kush line. The stone is surprisingly energetic and super potent,
closely mimicking a hash-type high. In Soma-licious, this
mother has been crossed with Soma’s Lavender strain, an
Afghani-strong strain that combines Super Skunk, Big Skunk
Korean, Afghani and Hawaiian for another strong hash-flavored
contender. Lavender’s name comes from the intense purple
coloration this plant acquires over the course of flowering.
Soma-licious has carried the Lavender’s purple genetics
through, turning a vivid to dark purple over the growing cycle.
This strain can be grown indoors or out, and is best as a multibranch plant, since it stays fairly short (3 feet/1 meter) and trains fairly easily when staked or super-cropped. Outdoors,
Soma-licious finishes at the beginning of October at an average
height of 6 feet (2 meters).
The flavors deliver the extreme hashiness of the parents with
a mixture of sweetness that pleasantly lingers on the tongue for
quite some time after smoking. To maximize the chocolate
earthy goodness, Soma recommends soil with organic guano as
the main flowering fertilizer. However, Soma-licious delivers on
more than the taste buds. The high evokes a serene yet
luminous state of mind that seems to awaken a broad, almost
philosophical sense of acceptance and love for what is. The
stress of the modern world is swept away with this change in
perspective. A little Soma-licious can make the path to
kindness and patience easier to find. It is the kind of high that
brings a smile and a good belly laugh. While it is terrific for
enhancing enjoyment of great music, it seems to make bad
music sound much worse. Those who discover this strain often
seek it out. The only challenge with this strain may be making
sure there’s enough to last.
