The Astronomer

Genetics:

Embarking on a mission to pay tribute to the profound legacy of modern and historical space astronomers and astrophysicists worldwide, “The Astronomer” emerged from the inspiration drawn from notable figures like Kepler, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, Hubble, and Carl Sagan. These influential scientific minds served as the guide-star behind this remarkable bud, imbued with the same adventurous spirit that fueled their forward-thinking ideas and theories about the universe and beyond.

Guided by a deeper purpose, the breeders meticulously curated an array of space-themed genetics, blending together a magnificent variety of strain attributes including:

1. “Nebula” is renowned for its celestial high and otherworldly plant characteristics. Named after the interstellar clouds of dust and gas in our local universe, “Nebula” lives up to its name by offering you an energetic and mind-expanding high. This sativa-dominant hybrid is a cross between multiple potent genetics, including “Jack Herer,” and “White Widow.” Its buds are typically dense and coated with a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance reminiscent of distant stars. The high offered is uplifting and euphoric, providing a boost in creativity and mood enhancement. Many users experience a sense of focus and mental clarity, making it suitable for daytime use. Its terpene profile contributes to its fruity and floral aroma, with hints of citrus and sweetness lingering on the palate. Nebula’s soaring effects and pleasant taste have made it a favorite among both recreational and medical consumers alike.

2. “Blue Moon Rocks” is an indica-dominant hybrid that packs a powerful punch with its high THC content and mind-numbing high. Created through an inventive combination of “Blue Moon,” and “Bog Bubble,” this strain showcases dense and resinous buds with a captivating blueish hue, like a moonlit night. Its striking appearance is complemented by a sweet and fruity aroma, often featuring berry and grape notes with a touch of earthiness. “Blue Moon Rocks,” delivers a deeply calming and sedative experience, making it the perfect choice for evening or nighttime use. It is favored by those seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and insomnia. The strain’s potent relaxation properties can lead to a full-body calm, as well as a soothing mental state, earning it a dedicated following among indica fans.

3. “Outer Space” is an intriguing hybrid that provides a journey beyond the confines of Earth with its powerful and almost-psychedelic high.It is a cross between Island Sweet Skunk and Trinity, resulting in a strain that offers both energizing sativa effects and a touch of relaxation from its indica lineage. “Outer Space” induces a euphoric and uplifting high, often leading to bursts of creativity and enhanced sensory perception. As the cerebral effects settle in, users may experience a deep sense of mental relaxation that does not typically lead to couch-lock. Its flavor profile is diverse, with a combination of tropical fruitiness, citrus, and a slight herbal undertone. The ability to provide an otherworldly experience while maintaining a balance of mental and physical effects is what “Outer Space” is all about.

In the end, “The Astronomer” seeks to capture the essence of curiosity, wonder, and intellectual depth that is so emblematic of astrophysicists and astronomers. As the strain was brought into being, its popularity soared among college students and campuses across the Pacific Northwest. Thus, “The Astronomer” was christened as a rare, potent high-THC sativa-leaning hybrid that propels 420 enthusiasts to reach for the stars and transcend beyond our earthly boundaries daily… Ad Astra!!

Terps:

While specific terpene levels can vary depending on the phenotype and growing conditions, some of the common terpenes found in “The Astronomer,” include:

1. Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes in marijuana. It has an herbal, earthy, and slightly fruity aroma. Myrcene is associated with relaxing and sedative effects. It may also work to synergistically enhance other cannabinoids.

2. Pinene has a distinct piney aroma and is found in many strains of marijuana, in addition to coniferous evergreen trees. It is believed to have potential anti-inflammatory properties and may contribute to improved focus, energy and alertness.

3. Limonene is responsible for the citrusy aroma found in various strains. It is associated with uplifting and mood-enhancing effects and may have potential anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties.

4. Caryophyllene has a spicy and peppery aroma, and the only known terpene that interacts with the endocannabinoid system, potentially contributing to anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

5. Linalool: Linalool has a floral and lavender-like aroma. It is often associated with calming and relaxing effects and may have potential anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and sedative properties.

6. Terpinolene is a lesser-known terpene compared to others like myrcene, limonene, and pinene, but it plays a crucial role in shaping the overall aroma and effects of certain cannabis strains. The effects of terpinolene are not as well-studied as other, more prominent terpenes, but it is believed to contribute to the overall ‘entourage effect’ found in marijuana cannabinoids.

It’s important to note that the terpene profile can vary based on the specific cultivation methods and environmental factors affecting each and every seed of “The Astronomer.”
