Parents
Saffron is an indica-leaning hybrid strain bred by Purple City Genetics out of California from a cross of their own Moroccan Peaches and Street Guru strains, bringing together award-winning peach genetics with a gassy, Kush Mints-rooted backbone. As a weed strain, Saffron stands out for its layered aroma, blending ripe stone fruit, peppery spice, and a warm, herbal earthiness that nods to the spice it's named after. Dense, resin-heavy buds lean into its indica structure, and the strain earned early credibility when its parent Moroccan Peaches took first place for rosin at the 2023 Emerald Cup.
On the effects side, consumers often report a deep, full-body relaxation paired with an initial wave of euphoria. Reviewers describe the effects as having a heavy, sedative finish that enthusiasts typically reach for in the evening. Fans of the strain also note a subtle creative focus before the heavier effects settle in, making it a favorite among those who enjoy winding down without completely checking out.
Online sources suggest Saffron is a moderately challenging strain best suited for growers with some experience. Indoors, it tends to stay compact at around two to three feet with a bushy, indica-leaning structure, while outdoor plants can stretch to four or five feet under the right conditions. Flowering typically takes eight to nine weeks — roughly 63 days — with indoor yields reported around 350–500 g/m² and outdoor yields ranging from 400 to 1,000 g per plant. The strain prefers warm, stable climates with daytime temperatures around 75–82°F and nighttime lows near 64–72°F, and growers note that keeping humidity around 40–45% during late flowering helps protect its dense, resin-heavy buds from mold. Outdoor harvests in the Northern Hemisphere generally fall in October.
