Somalicious

Somalicious is a compact, resin-led Soma Seeds variety with a rich hashy smell and a spicy edge to the flavour. It is available as feminised seeds and is listed as 85% indica and 15% sativa, so the general shape and effect are firmly on the indica side.

The named genetics are Haze x Lavender / L.A. Confidential. In the plant, that comes through as a broad-leafed, sturdy structure with a more perfumed flavour than a plain Afghan-style line. Soma Seeds describes the aroma as Kush Afghani hash, while the taste brings in spice alongside lavender, citrus fruits and exotic woods.

In cultivation, Somalicious stays short to medium in height and builds a strong, fairly compact frame. Expect short internodes, large wide leaves and good branching, with bulky hard buds that carry a thick coat of resin. It can turn purple towards the end of flowering, adding a bit of colour to an already dense, indica-looking plant.

Flowering time is 9–10 weeks. Outdoors, Somalicious finishes around the end of October and is best suited to warm, dry climates or the extra cover of a greenhouse. The listed minimum yield is 25–35 grams, and Soma Seeds presents it as an easy-going option indoors or outdoors, including for growers who do not want a difficult plant.

The resin is one of its more useful traits. The buds are described as hard and resinous, and Soma Seeds notes that Somalicious makes great water hash, which will interest anyone choosing genetics with separation or hash-making in mind.

The effect is long-lasting, powerful and soothing, with a typical indica feel. Somalicious suits customers who like compact plants, hashy aromas, spicy lavender-and-wood flavours and a relaxed finish rather than a sharp, racy sativa profile.
