Caboose Feminized Seeds by Strain Hunters – Fast-Flowering Indica Hybrid with Dense Buds and Complex Kush Aroma

Caboose feminized seeds by Strain Hunters give you a compact, high-yielding cannabis plant with dense, trichome-covered buds and a fast 8–9 week flowering time — perfect for those who want quality, potency, and discretion without long waits.

Struggling with weak yields and bland flavors?

Ever grown a strain that promised big buds but delivered airy popcorn? Or one that smelled great on paper but turned out flat when dried?

Many growers end up frustrated — investing time and energy only to harvest underwhelming results. You want something that looks, smells, and hits like a premium cut, not a generic bag seed.

With Caboose, you’re getting a stabilized Californian legend — a true breeder’s strain with commercial-grade density and a complex, memorable profile. No more guessing. Just consistent, high-caliber results.

More discretion, fewer worries

Caboose stays short and bushy, with an average internodal distance under 5 cm (1.97 in), making it ideal for stealth grows. Whether you're tucking it into a small indoor tent or hiding it among garden foliage, its compact structure keeps it under the radar. The dense, hard buds resist moisture buildup, reducing the risk of mold — a must for humid climates or crowded setups. Plus, its moderate scent during growth means you won’t need a carbon filter unless pushing late flowering.

Control over the experience

• Flowers in just 8–9 weeks — predictable harvests you can plan around.
• Dense, heavy buds form quickly, giving you visual feedback on progress.
• Thrives under 1000W HPS, yielding up to 900 g/m² (3.2 oz/ft²) indoors.
• Handles high EC levels when healthy, allowing aggressive feeding for maximum output.
• Performs equally well indoors and outdoors, giving you flexibility.
• Stable feminized genetics mean no surprises — every seed counts.
• Short stature makes it easy to manage and support with simple trellising.

How to use it responsibly and comfortably

Grow Caboose like a pro — with care, timing, and respect for the plant’s rhythm. Set yourself up for success from day one.

1. Start in a warm, humid environment (22–25 °C / 71.6–77 °F) for germination.
2. Use well-aerated soil or coco; avoid overwatering in early stages.
3. Provide strong light early — 18/6 for photoperiod setup — to encourage bushy growth.
4. Support branches if growing large plants; the buds get heavy.
5. Harvest when trichomes turn milky to amber for a balanced stony effect.

Benefits of having everything under control

• More calm — knowing your plant is stable and high-performing.
• Fewer surprises — no male plants, no weak phenos.
• Consistent quality — every harvest looks and smokes like a premium product.
• Better coexistence — low stretch and moderate smell keep it neighbor-friendly.
• Greater confidence — you’re growing a strain with real heritage and reputation.
• Higher satisfaction — from seed to smoke, the experience feels complete.

How to grow Caboose feminized seeds

Get the most out of your Caboose plants with a simple, effective grow plan based on its genetics and performance.

Quick overview: Feminized indica hybrid from Strain Hunters — 8–9 week flowering, medium difficulty, ideal for indoor tents or discreet outdoor grows.

Safe start: Germinate in a moist, warm environment. Transplant carefully once the taproot is ~1 cm (0.39 in) long. For faster rooting, Seedbox Plagron boosts early root development.

Stable seedling: Keep humidity high (60–70%) and light gentle. Use a well-draining substrate to prevent damping off. A root booster like Rhizotonic XP strengthens root systems and improves resilience.

Directed growth: Move to 18/6 light cycle. Feed moderately — this strain loves nutrients but avoid nitrogen overload. Use airy soil or coco; consider Light Mix Peat Free 50 lt. Bio Bizz for optimal drainage and structure.

Flowering by stages: Switch to 12/12 to trigger bloom. Support branches early — buds get dense and heavy. Lower humidity to 40–50% in mid-flower to prevent mold. Add a bloom booster like Sensi Bloom A+B Advanced Nutrients at peak flowering for maximum resin and density.

Harvest, drying and curing: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a narcotic effect. Flush 7–10 days before harvest. Dry slowly at 18–22 °C (64.4–71.6 °F) and 50–60% RH, then cure for 2–4 weeks in jars for smoother smoke.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Caboose good for beginner growers?

It’s medium difficulty — great for growers with some experience. It’s stable and forgiving, but benefits from proper feeding and humidity control, especially in flowering.

Does Caboose smell strong during flowering?

It has a medium scent during growth, becoming more pungent in late flowering. While not overpowering, using a carbon filter in enclosed spaces is recommended.

Can I grow Caboose outdoors in a cold climate?

Yes, but best in temperate or Mediterranean zones. It finishes fast, so it can avoid early autumn rains. Ensure it’s in a sunny, sheltered spot with good airflow.

What kind of effect does Caboose have?

It’s a fast-hitting, long-lasting stone — trippy at first, then deeply sedative. Perfect for unwinding, watching movies, or as a pre-sleep aid. Not ideal for daytime productivity.

How much yield can I expect outdoors?

Up to 0.9 g per watt per m² under strong lighting. In natural sunlight, expect large, dense buds if grown in optimal conditions with proper feeding.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I first grew Caboose during a tight harvest window — needed something fast, potent, and reliable. It delivered. The plants stayed short, filled out beautifully, and the buds were rock-hard with a crazy amount of white resin. I love the aroma — it’s like Chinese oranges dipped in kush, with a sharp, almost metallic edge that makes it stand out. I usually run it under 600W HPS, and with a bit of LST, I’ve hit 850 g/m². My go-to trick? Light defoliation in early flower and a final flush with Rezin (Finisher) Green Planet — makes the smoke so smooth. It’s not a creative daytime smoke — it’s a couch-lock champion. I keep it for weekends, deep sessions, or when I just need to shut off. One of those strains that reminds you why you grow.
