Lavender
Lavender genetics can be traced back to Super Skunk x Big Skunk Korean x (Afghani x Hawaiian)… which makes it a Indica-dominant hybrid strain of cannabis.

The potency of the medicine was obvious from the get-go; just a few draws from my portable vaporizer or rips from the bong and I was sufficiently medicated. MANTIS_RECOMMEND = { …

Cinderella X (Cin X)
Cinderella X (or Cin X) genetics can be linked to Hindu Kush and Cinderella 99, making this a Sativa-dominant Hybrid. Not much is known about this strain for one reason or another… most likely due to the fact it is just a random cross that some growers put together that turned out pretty awesome.
