A Step Up

A Step Up is a indica dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 18-24% on average, with 1% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

Users describe the A Step Up high as a slow, warming body melt that starts at the back of the head and rolls down through the limbs, easing muscles into deep, contented calm while the mind drifts into a hazy, happy state. A gentle mental uplift keeps the mood bright the whole way through, so the physical heaviness never tips over into fogginess. These combined effects make A Step Up a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

A Step Up has a distinctive coffee and citrus flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a citrus finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

In the garden, A Step Up is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in around 8 weeks and performing well in controlled indoor setups. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Step family — see Evil Step Mother and Mullumbimby Two Step for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
