Sahar by Third Eye Genetics
Indica Landraces × Selected Hybrids
Sahar is an indica-dominant strain developed by Third Eye Genetics, recognized for its potent sensory profile and robust genetics. Originating from experimental breeding over a decade ago, it aims to blend traditional indica qualities with unique characteristics inspired by its Middle Eastern-influenced name.
Appearance
Sahar buds are dense and compact, reflecting its indica heritage, and typically measure 3-4 centimeters in diameter. They display deep forest green coloration, often accented with vibrant purple and magenta hues. A thick coating of sparkling trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high resin production.
The plant structure is moderate, usually not exceeding 120 centimeters in height when grown indoors, making it suitable for various cultivation spaces. Its leaves are broad and serrated, with dark olive to forest green shades, sometimes showing red or purple margins.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Sahar is layered, starting with a rich, earthy scent reminiscent of fertile soil, complemented by sweet spice and a hint of tobacco. Further notes of pine, roasted coffee, and exotic incense can be detected, creating a complex olfactory experience. This aroma is often described as both soothing and invigorating.
Its flavor profile mirrors the aroma, beginning with a deep earthy richness. This is followed by emerging notes of sweet spice, subtle fruitiness, hints of berries, and a mild citrus tartness. The taste evolves throughout consumption, offering a dynamic sensory journey.
Effects
Sahar is known for delivering a powerful and relaxing experience characteristic of indica-dominant strains. Its effects are primarily physical, promoting a sense of calm and tranquility. While not explicitly detailed in the source, indica-dominant strains are generally associated with sedating qualities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analysis indicates the presence of significant terpene compounds, including Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene, which contribute to Sahar's distinct aroma and flavor profile. The strain's cannabinoid profile is characterized by a THC content of approximately 20% and CBD levels below 1%, positioning it as a potent option for users seeking strong psychoactive effects.
Growing
Sahar is noted for its genetic stability, with propagated plants consistently exhibiting intended traits. It is considered suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with an indoor height typically not exceeding 120 centimeters. Its compact form and robust bud development make it an efficient choice for growers, especially in confined spaces.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Third Eye Genetics, Sahar is the result of experimental breeding that began over a decade ago, aiming to create a strain with superior indica genetics and unique sensory effects. The lineage is approximately 75% indica, achieved through careful selection and backcrossing of high-quality indica phenotypes and landraces, possibly blended with selected hybrids.
The breeding process emphasized preserving qualitative traits like resin production and aroma, incorporating modern genetic analysis with traditional techniques. This meticulous approach has resulted in a strain recognized for its balance of physical effects and nuanced flavor, honoring its genetic heritage while exploring new cultivation frontiers.
