Somari

Somari is a 70% sativa and 30% indica cross from Soma Seeds, available as feminised seeds. It combines Soma’s New York City Diesel, Buddha’s Sister and Kushadelic genetics, with the NYC Diesel side giving the ripe red grapefruit aroma and flavour that stands out most clearly.

This strain has a bit of history behind it. Somari took first prize at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam in 2013, and it was developed under Soma’s supervision by his friend Rico. It has also been praised by experienced cannabis people, including Thomas from ex-Serious Seeds.

In the grow room, Somari is described as easy to grow, with dense buds and a high terpene content. Flowering time is listed at 9–11 weeks, with a minimum yield of 35–40 grams. Resistance to powdery mildew and bud rot is a useful point here, especially for growers who want something more forgiving without giving up strong flavour.

The effect is reported as uplifting and positive, with a soothing feel that may suit those after a brighter, more relaxed smoke rather than something flat and heavy. For shoppers drawn to Soma’s diesel-citrus work, Somari keeps the grapefruit side front and centre while adding the fuller background of Buddha’s Sister and Kushadelic.
