2nd Sunday by Smiling Tiger
Undisclosed
2nd Sunday is a hybrid cannabis cultivar from breeder Smiling Tiger, designed for balanced indica and sativa effects. Its name suggests a relaxed, reset-day vibe, positioning it as a versatile option for measured relaxation without intense sedation.
Appearance
Mature 2nd Sunday flowers typically exhibit medium-dense to dense structure with calyx-forward formations, often presenting as stacked, conical colas. High trichome density gives the buds a frosted appearance, with pistils ranging from light tangerine to copper as they mature. Sugar leaves may show subtle purple hues under cooler conditions. Well-trimmed buds have good visual appeal, showcasing well-defined calyx edges and crystal sparkle.
Leaf structure can vary, with some phenotypes showing broader, indica-leaning leaves and others displaying more lanceolate, sativa-leaning shapes. Internodal spacing is generally moderate, allowing for light penetration. The calyx-to-leaf ratio tends to improve later in the bloom phase as bracts swell.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of 2nd Sunday is layered and balanced, often starting with citrus or sweet peel notes before revealing warm spice and herbal undertones. On dry pull, scents of lemon zest, soft pepper, and subtle woodland herbs may be detected. Breaking apart the flower intensifies a sweet-spicy aroma, characteristic of caryophyllene and limonene. If present, linalool can add a faint floral or lavender note, smoothing the overall profile.
When ground, the aroma can broaden to include hints of cream, tea, or lemongrass, depending on the specific phenotype and cure. Flavors often mirror the aroma, presenting a complex profile that includes citrus, spice, and herbal notes, with potential creamy or floral undertones.
Effects
2nd Sunday is described as a versatile hybrid that can provide measured relaxation without leading to heavy sedation. The strain aims for a balanced experience, potentially offering calming sensations and a gentle uplift depending on the dose and individual response. It is positioned as a strain suitable for various times, from daytime creativity to evening decompression.
Users may find it conducive to low-key productivity or relaxation, fitting into both social settings and periods of personal focus. The effects are generally managed, avoiding overly racy or sedating outcomes, aligning with its design for broad usability.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab results are not detailed, the aromatic profile suggests a terpene blend likely led by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. Other terpenes such as linalool, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene may also contribute to the cultivar's nuanced bouquet and effects. The THC content is reported to be in the range of 8-9%, with CBD levels below 1%.
This cannabinoid and terpene combination is thought to contribute to the strain's balanced effects, aiming for a harmonious experience. The focus on nuanced terpene expression by the breeder suggests attention to the quality and complexity of the aromatic compounds.
Growing Information
Cultivators may expect moderate stretch after the light flip, with internodal spacing generally being moderate. Plants typically develop stacked, conical colas with good calyx development. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is expected to improve as flowering progresses. Phenotype selection is often key for craft growers aiming for dense, resinous flowers with consistent terpene profiles.
Flowering time is generally estimated to be between 8 to 9.5 weeks. While specific yield data is not provided, the breed development context suggests a focus on quality and consistency rather than extreme yields. The environment should be optimized to encourage robust growth and resin production.
Origins and Lineage
2nd Sunday was developed by the breeder Smiling Tiger, known for boutique releases emphasizing balanced indica/sativa dynamics and nuanced terpene expression. The official parentage of 2nd Sunday has not been publicly disclosed by the breeder.
The cultivar's balanced profile and aromatic characteristics suggest a cross that integrates indica-leaning structure-stabilizing genetics with sativa-leaning genetics expressive in terpenes like terpinolene or limonene. The breeding approach likely involved targeted selection across multiple generations to achieve a harmonious high and clean finish.
