Greetings, fellow cultivators and cannabis enthusiasts! Today, we dive into the subtle elegance of a unique strain that embodies the essence of high-altitude growing: Zen Zephyr. Originating from the heart of Colorado, Zen Zephyr is a versatile strain that has been carefully cultivated for its serene and tranquil effects.
The Birth of Zen Zephyr
Created from the genetic lineage of “Mile High Mystique” and a secret landrace strain from the Himalayas, Zen Zephyr captures the calming and meditative properties that both parents offer. After years of phenotype selection, this strain has become a staple for calming both mind and body, making it a favorite among those seeking relaxation and stress relief.

- THC/CBD Content: Typically testing at 18-22% THC, with a moderate CBD level around 1-2% to enhance its therapeutic effects.
Cultivation Tips for Zen Zephyr
Zen Zephyr thrives under the unique environmental pressures of high-altitude Colorado. Whether you’re a seasoned cultivator or a novice, here are a few tips to bring out the best in this gentle giant:
- Lighting: Opt for full-spectrum LED lights to mimic natural sunlight and promote healthy growth.
- Humidity Control: Maintain around 55% RH during vegetative growth, reducing to 45% during flowering to maximize resin production.
