We regret to inform you that this item is not currently in stock.
However, we will have more available soon and we would love to notify you as soon as it becomes available. Please note that signing up does not obligate you to purchase the pack, nor will we be holding any packs for you.
Step Child is RudeBoi OG shacking up with ISE, leaving the rest of the family tree to “figure it out.” You end up with a hybrid that acts like it’s been drinking espresso all morning—creative buzz, focus, and a subtle physical chill so you don’t end up cleaning the neighbor’s gutters by mistake.
Phenotype Circus
Look For: Medium height, decent branching, and big nugget potential. Sativa high without the sketch.
Terpenes: Slight remix each pack, but reliable yield and structure if you don’t screw up the basics.
Sativa Major, Indica Minor
Sativa-Indica: 60/40 “feeling,” actual percent depends on the cannabis gods and your luck.
Hybrid Edge: All-day pep, mental clarity, and a smooth landing—not a white-knuckle ride.
How to Grow These Damn Things
Got a grow tent and a pulse? Good—Step Child won’t ask for much more. It’s stoked to keep things under control, but reward the effort with bag appeal and taste for days.
Indoor Strategy
Height: Medium. Not skyscraper, not bonsai. You can fit more than one in a closet grow.
Lights: Standard photoperiod—veg at 18/6, send to flower at 12/12. Step Child refuses to autoflower (because drama is exhausting).
Climate: 68–79°F; start with 60% humidity and ease down to 45% late. Not a diva, but keep her comfy.
Nutes: Balanced menu—do NOT dump an entire bottle of Cal-Mag and blame the strain.
Train It Like You Mean It
Structure: Play with LST, topping, or even SCROG if you want to win bragging rights on the internet.
Flowering Time: 63–70 days. The home stretch is where you nail the flavor (and your patience gets tested).
Pest Resistance: Holds its own. Still, crank up the fans and put down the spray bottles unless you spot a real crisis.
Yields That Don’t Suck
Indoor: 350–500g/m2. You’ll run out of friends before you run out of stash.
Outdoor: 300–600g per plant if you treat them right (or just sing to them, hell if I know).
Hot Tip from an Old Pro: Want more wild strain breakdowns, fearless grow advice, and the occasional “don’t try this at home” cannabis tale? Blast on over to the blog and supercharge your rookie grower brain before you fry another crop. Trust me—you need it.
Outdoor & Common Sense Tips
Harvest: Mid-October finish in mild zones. Rain will crash your party if you get cocky about late fall.
Wreck Your Grow: Overfeeding and no air movement. Airflow is your cheap insurance—don’t cheap out.
Step Child Effects—The Main Event
Physical: Easy-going body fix, with energy to spare. Pain? Fades. Nap? Not happening.
Mental High: Creative bursts, laughs, and a red-hot “let’s do somethin’” vibe, instead of blank-stare syndrome.
Medical Uses: Stress, zapped energy, or mood slumps. Cures the existential Monday, at least for 3 hours.
Socializes: Loosens the yap, keeps your brain on rails—ideal for the functional stoner party circuit.
When: Day and early evening. Go nuts, just not before bedtime unless you’re starting a novel.
Flavor & Aroma Breakdown
Terps: Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Linalool (your nose knows).
Smell: Citrus and pine blitz, hints of fresh dirt—like hiking with a bag of Skittles.
Taste: Lemon-pine inhale, clean herbal finish—mouth still tastes good after the tenth exhale.
Loudness: Crack open your jar and suddenly, your room smells like you’ve pissed off an entire orchard. Sorry, neighbors.
Seed Specs—Nuts and Bolts
Type: Regular (that means boys and girls—good for those who like surprises or breeding tricks).
Germ Rate: 90–95%—unless you store them in the oven, you’re golden.
Packing: Bulletproof, discrete, and won’t scream CANNABIS at your mailman.
Storage: Cool, dry, dark. Toss them in the fridge if you’re committing seed-hoarding felonies.
Shelf Life: 3 years untouched, so procrastinate in style.
Service: We swap duds, no weird interrogations required.
Why Burn Cash on Step Child Seeds?
Special Sauce: Strong sativa drive with hybrid “chill out, dude” reliability.
Crowd Favorite: Consistent love from creative types and workaholics—this one actually gets things done.
Rave Reviews: Growers praise the terp pop and easy ride. Chef’s kiss for daytime stoners.
Expert Opinion: Skip the anxiety, gain focus. Your boss will be confused, your friends will be jealous.
Best Use Case: Artists, hustlers, and anyone who isn’t planning on hiding under the bed all afternoon.
Have Breeding Ambitions?: Step Child’s regular seeds = better pheno hunts and endless clone drama. Mix it up.
Fix Your Struggles: Got a tiny grow space or unpredictable weather? Step Child leans in—doesn’t quit.
Grower Reviews—Real Talk
“Step Child totally shocked me—fast rooting, vigorous growth, and the best harvest I’ve had in my 4x4. Even my partner commented on how the house smelled like citrus candy at trim—love it!” — Jake R.
“I took a shot on Step Child seeds for the creative high, and wow—absolute focus and good energy all day. Flowered in a little over 9 weeks and no drama with pests or mold.” — Lila F.
“Perfect for daylight mood and getting out of a rut. Grew four phenos, each flavorful but consistent in yield and effect.” — Mike B.
Similar Strains to Feed Your Curiosity
RudeBoi OG: If you want OG punch and sedative couch-melt, go straight to the parent.
Sour Diesel: Social sativa energy and pure head chaos, perfect for bold extroverts and chatty types.
Blue Dream: Creative, chill, and famously newbie-proof. It’s a daytime legend for a reason.

I just wanted to tell you guys thank you! Got my gear today and I really appreciate that freebie. I was actually looking at that pack so now I can try it first. The stickers are awesome. Your box is amazing. Didn’t know you guys have auctions also I told my dispensary about a year ago to send everyone to you guys.
