Lazy Hippie (aka "Horsepower") is a cannabis variety lovingly crafted for maximum enjoyment and is another great addition to the Mandala Seeds outdoor-north collection. Suitable for beginners or experienced marijuana users, this low-maintenance strain can be effortlessly grown indoor and outdoor. The powerful effect boosts creativity and keeps you inspired without any of the negative side-effects normally associated with other Sativa-leaning strains, such as anxiety or palpitations.

Both phenotypes of this beautiful old school cross have instant recognizability. The super frosty buds and smaller leaves glisten with trichomes. While 'Majoon‘ flowers with orange pistils, the Sativa-leaning 'Joplin' phenotype has stunning lime-green and ivory colored pistils – the longest we’ve ever seen on a cannabis plant. Bud quality is top-notch, with golf ball sized buds even at the bottom of the plants. This strain's low odor during flowering makes it ideal for stealthy cultivation. In fact, the plants have so many outstanding traits its a long list to fill (see the top features bottom of page).

Lazy Hippie thrives in organic soil gardens, and with quality soil you can expect great results. This is a nutrient-efficient (ie. economical) plant and a prime choice for guerilla growing and other demanding outdoor locations. In hydroponics a low-medium EC range is best. Indoors the plants are versatile and grow well under low light, although we do recommend 400W/m2 HPS during flowering as a standard for cannabis cultivation. SCROG and other low-stress techniques can be used for the 'Joplin' pheno, which yields longer colas. The 'Majoon‘ pheno* goes after Speed Queen with a denser and shorter growth pattern.

Lazy Hippie is one of the few Sativa hybrids available that has been adapted for the short season in colder climates. Harvest dates are usually end of September, depending on your location. Far north above 50° the plants finish around mid October. The strain tolerates extreme temperatures having been tested at 48°C/118°F heat and -3°C/27°F cold. We also tested cold resilience and short daylight conditions in a greenhouse between December-February; the plants did surprisingly well and developed firm stems, thick resin-filled bud sites, and a vibrant green leaf canopy. Some plants may turn purplish at low temperatures.

Lazy Hippie can tolerate prolonged drought conditions and the rigors of high-altitude climates such as intense UV, heat, wind, and bouts of frost. The strain was tested in Western Asia at 55°N in the wild and survived 100 days without rain! The plants produced thick resin coated buds with great potency by harvest time. Without doubt this is one of the most amazing Sativa-leaning strains available for outdoor growers, especially during these uncertain times with climate patterns.

The fine aroma of the ripe buds is captivating, with a rosemary scent that fills the air when touched. Every inhalation brings forth an invigorating herbal-sweet incense like a walk through a forest after a rainy day. Cured buds can have an exotic rose scent as well.

Lazy Hippie has a powerful and fast-acting effect which makes it suitable for regular users. Beginners should be mindful of the dosage. The overall Sativa high induces feelings of well-being that will have you buzzing with creative energy and relaxed detachment from the world around you. It can also be enjoyed on days when all you want to do is lounge around and drift into daydreams. Users report feeling pleasantly relaxed and possibly even drowsy when the effects start wearing off. This helps you unwind and also contributes to the medical use as a muscle relaxant. Surrender to the blissful high delivered by this heirloom quality strain.

* Fun fact: Majoun (majoon or majun) is a sweet treat in Morocco that is often made into cannabis edibles.

Why Is It Called Lazy Hippie?

In 2022 a troll called us „lazy hippies“ because we closed our shop over summer (as we do every year). There was another word he added that I don’t care to repeat. Anyway, Mike and I thought that was hilarious! After we had a good laugh, the name stuck with us and seemed perfect for the breeding project we completed that summer.

"Lazy hippie" is a slur used since the 1960‘s for marijuana smokers. However, we proudly embrace it! Without the hard work of lazy hippies (pun intended), marijuana breeding and conservation would not have taken off, and none of us would be smoking anything better than roadside hemp. Mike and I are part of that generation and we believe the blood, sweat and tears invested in this work laid the foundation for others to build upon.

Lazy hippies revolutionized the world (and made some of the greatest music of all time). While many members of the cannabis counterculture have since passed on to greener pastures, their legacy lives on!

Our heirloom cultivar is like a throwback to the beginnings of landrace seed collecting. Every time you grow Lazy Hippie marijuana, you can be part of this unbroken tradition!

Update 2024: During an incredible guerilla grow in the high-altitude steppes of Central Asia, Lazy Hippy plants survived 100 days of drought, freezing nights, and were used as a salad bar by wild horses. Despite these adversities the plants continued to thrive and produced a great harvest. This has earned her the nickname "Horsepower"!
