Bastion

Bastion is a sativa dominant hybrid (65% sativa/35% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 13-19% on average, with 0.2% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Bastion high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. Underneath the mental charge, a mellow body calm keeps things comfortable, taking the edge off without ever slowing you down. These combined effects make Bastion a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect coffee and lemon up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a coffee-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Bastion offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants flowering in around 8 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed.
