Origins & Lineage
Developed by Scapegoat Genetics, Stelouse is a carefully bred hybrid resulting from meticulous experimentation with indica and sativa genetics. Early breeding focused on incorporating dominant sativa phenotypes for cerebral effects and indica traits for physical relaxation. Genetic mapping suggests a potential influence of up to 55% indica and 45% sativa, though this can vary.
