8 Miles High
8 Miles High
Overview
8 Miles High is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created by Mandala Seeds through crossing an African Sativa landrace with a North Indian Indica landrace. Named after The Byrds' legendary psychedelic rock song "Eight Miles High," this strain was deliberately bred to be both easy to grow and easy to love. The strain combines the vigilance and rapid growth rates of its African genetics with the impressive aromatic profile and potent effects of its Indian ancestry.
This fragrant strain produces medium-tall plants with two distinct phenotypes: indica-leaning females with minimal branching ideal for small spaces, and sativa-leaning phenotypes with longer branching and excellent outdoor production potential. The buds feature oversized, airy, pepper-shaped emerald green nugs with forest undertones, thin orange hairs, and dense milky white crystal trichomes. 8 Miles High demonstrates excellent resistance to mold and environmental stress factors, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain finishes flowering in 60-65 days indoors or by early to mid-October outdoors, producing quality harvests with exceptional resin production throughout the plant.

Growing Information
8 Miles High is considered an easy-to-grow strain with no special requirements, making it excellent for beginners. Indoor flowering time is 60-65 days with yields of 400-450g/m² under 400-600W HPS lights. Outdoor harvest occurs in early October in southern climates and mid-October in northern climates, with yields up to 800-1000g per plant. The strain demonstrates exceptional environmental stress resistance, allowing plants to be moved from indoor to outdoor without adverse effects. It shows good mold resistance and grows well in soil with minimal feeding. Both indica and sativa phenotypes can be used in sea of green setups, with sativa phenotypes benefiting from bottom branch pruning in hydroponic systems.
