A hybrid of two well-known indicas, Sugar Mama is praised for her over-sized colas and sugary flavors. The aroma of this Big Bud/Blueberry cross has notes of skunky maple syrup and hash. The calming indica effects are an enjoyable way to curb nausea and migraines.
About this Hybrid Strain
Better bet with a name like Sugar Mama, this cannabis plant comes dusted with a saccharine coat of thick trichomes. A nearly perfect hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa), this strain produces fuzzy nugs that smells of bitter grapefruits, burnt hash, and freshly-pumped diesel fuel. When touched by a flame, the smoke tastes of citrus-loaded fruit peels and dank skunk.
Lab data places its cannabinoid content at a solid 19% THC, making it slightly more potent than the average commercially available strain.
Sugar Mama brings on the sleepy headedness, so expect a smoke sesh that’ll lead straight to a couch-lock. It’s best reserved for nighttime use or during the day when you finally get a chance to unwind for a few hours. It may help with alleviating arthritis, muscle tension, low moods, restlessness, or daily stress.
Common side effects from Sugar Mama include red eyes.

About Sugar Mama
Great for a night of calm and relaxation, Sugar Mama brings users a yummy flavor and strong sedating effects that encourage creativity. This strain is rather hush-hush as an indica-dominant cross between Big Bud and Blueberry. Little else is known about Sugar Mama, except that it gives you a focused and chill high and can be great for managing everyday aches and pains.
THC levels in this strain are very consistent, with a narrow range of 18% to 19% on average. This allows users of all experience types to enjoy Sugar Mama without negative side effects. Embodying a sweet taste that’s reminiscent of maple syrup with skunky hash notes, it smells slightly more earthy and pungent than you’d expect. Hints of grapefruit and diesel can also be found scattered within this strain’s flavor profile. Nugs are frosty with streaks of purple and blue when broken open and contain a lot of orange pistils.
Sugar Mama brings about deep relaxation to both the body and mind with a high that’s pleasant and calming. You’ll feel a sense of euphoria as well as an increase in mental focus, yet might be sedated enough to avoid actually doing much of anything. Some users note a burst of energy and creativity from this strain while others recommend clearing your calendar before taking a hit.
Individuals who struggle with medical conditions will benefit a great deal from Sugar Mama, as it works wonders on stress and depression with its calming abilities. Since it can induce a powerful sedated feeling, patients with insomnia and pain love using Sugar Mama just before bedtime. Migraines, nausea, and even muscle spasms can all be subdued with this strain.
Preferring an indoor growing environment, Sugar Mama is a pretty easy strain to get right. After an 8 to 9 week flowering time you’ll be rewarded with heavy and pungent buds. It’s recommended that you utilize a lot of support while she grows to prevent snapping under her own weight.
A bit of a cannabis mystery, Sugar Mama can be hard to find. If you’re on the hunt for a strain that has a unique flavor profile and a high that will mellow even the most anxious of individuals, this gal will do you right. Play around with it when you have nothing to do or right before bed, and once you get the hang of how you’re affected, try more creative and focused activities.
Hybrid – 50% Sativa /50% Indica
THC: 19%
With THC levels that have tested at greater than 19%, Sugar Mama is a potent near-pure indica hybrid created by crossing Big Bud with Blueberry, both strong indica-dominant hybrids. CBD levels are very low, making Sugar Mama a poor choice for seizure disorders and other conditions that respond to that cannabinoid. But this strain is recommended for use in treating nausea, migraines, anxiety, depression, muscle spasms, pain, and insomnia. The exact ratio of indica to sativa is unclear, but the indica genes are clearly dominant. The effect is focused almost exclusively on the body, with a boost of euphoria and deep physical relaxation. Sugar Mama encourages creativity while creating a powerful sedating sensation. Dizziness is occasionally reported, though other side effects are less common. This strain is best reserved for late at night or for days with limited obligations. True to its name, Sugar Mama has a sweet, skunky maple syrup flavor with hints of grapefruit and diesel, and a pungent hashy smell. This local specialty is found almost exclusively on the medical market in Las Vegas. It may be cultivated elsewhere, but it definitely isn’t popular.
Great strain. I really like this one more in the daytime, when I need a little chill time. I was amazed just how much I was able to power through and focus on, while I was still just chillin.
I know that genetically Sugar Mama is an Indica, but for me it’s like the espresso of weeds. Awesome daytime strain, when you want to power through your To Do List and earn your day. Although I’ve noticed that since it is genetically an Indica, it’s also great for dealing with any physical aches and pains, and I’m not physically jittery at all. Just focused and in good spirits.
