Ambrosia
Ambrosia
Also known as: Ambrosia Strain
Overview
Ambrosia is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia craft cannabis scenes. Created by Jordan of the Islands, this strain is the offspring of two distinguished parents: God Bud (indica-dominant) and Burmese (sativa-dominant). The Burmese parent was notably voted #1 People's Choice at the 2002 Cannabis Culture Toker's Bowl, while God Bud gained recognition for its tropical sweetness and resin production. Named after the mythical food of the gods from Greek and Roman mythology, Ambrosia lives up to its divine nomenclature with exceptional aromatic qualities and balanced effects.
The strain produces dense, sticky buds with vibrant visual appeal, featuring neon green hues with bright yellow undertones, vibrant orange pistils, and a generous coating of powdery white trichomes. Ambrosia is characterized by its tropical fruit aroma profile, combining notes of pineapple, mango, and stone fruit with sweet floral tones reminiscent of orange blossom, all supported by a backbone of fresh pine and cedar. This complex terpene profile contributes to both its distinctive sensory experience and therapeutic properties, making it popular among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its approachable potency and well-rounded effects.

Growing Information
Ambrosia cultivation difficulty varies by source - some consider it easy while others rate it as challenging, especially for novice growers. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, with flowering times ranging from 49-65 days (7-9 weeks). Indoor yields typically range from 400-550g per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce 500-900g per plant in optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm temperatures (68-78°F) and moderate humidity levels (35-55% during flowering). Ambrosia grows to medium height and becomes bushy when given space, making it suitable for Sea of Green (SOG) methods. It requires nutrient-rich soil, ample lighting indoors, and benefits from training techniques like LST or Screen of Green to maximize yields. Outdoor cultivation thrives in warm, semi-humid climates with long summer days, typically harvesting in early to mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere.
