Low THCHigh THC

Zen is lower THC than average.

Zen is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar produced by crossing an Afghanistan indica with Lavender. This deliberate breeding strategy combines established genetics to create a balanced structure capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers should expect a moderate difficulty level during the 70-day flowering period, which reliably results in a high yield.

The chemical profile of Zen is defined by a dominant presence of terpinolene, complemented by secondary notes of myrcene and tertiary hints of caryophyllene. This specific terpene hierarchy frames the strain's sensory experience, dictating its unique aromatic and flavor nuances.

With a cannabinoid profile featuring approximately 9% THC and 3% CBD, Zen is engineered to facilitate clear-headed results. The effects are characterized by a sense of creative inspiration, uplifted mood, and general happiness, making it a functional choice for social settings or tasks requiring sustained focus. While it serves as a distinct entry in the modern cannabis landscape, there is currently no recorded offspring lineage for this variety.
