About Lavender
Lavender is a complex multi-race indica from Sensi Seeds, combining genetics from Afghani, Hawaiian, Korean, Mexican, and Afghan strains. The name comes from the distinctive lavender floral notes in the aroma alongside the classic indica earthiness. The high is among the most deeply sedating available — a true couch-lock stone that melts stress and anxiety.
