Union Special (BaOx Improved x Sweet Relief)
Union Special is a true F1 hybrid. These plants will demonstrate hybrid vigor but there will be some phenotypic variation across a crop. The parent varieties are described below:
“BaOx Improved” – CBD dominant photoperiodic variety with a bushy growth habit, heavy yields and a sweet pungent terpene profile.
“Sweet Relief” – CBG dominant photoperiodic variety with a bushy growth habit, dense flowers and a black pepper, earthy and garlic terpene profile. We chose this selection to cross with our BaOx because of its CBG dominance and strong bag appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Union Special a Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid?
Hybrid
Is Union Special an Autoflower or Photoperiod strain?
Union Special is a Photoperiod strain. Photoperiod varieties flower when the light schedule changes (typically 12 hours on / 12 hours off). They take longer than autoflowers but give you more control over plant size and yield. Autoflower varieties flower automatically based on age, usually finishing 9 to 12 weeks from seed — no light timing required.
How long does it take Union Special to grow?
Photoperiod strains give you more control over timing, but they take longer overall — typically 3 to 5 months from seed to harvest. You'll spend 4 to 8 weeks in vegetative growth (where you control how big the plant gets), then switch to a 12/12 light schedule to trigger flowering, which takes another 7 to 10 weeks depending on the strain. Indoor growers have full control over when to flip, while outdoor harvests generally land between late September and mid-October. Check the strain details above for specific flowering time estimates, and visit our growing guide for a full walkthrough.

How do I germinate Union Special seeds?
We recommend the paper towel method for the most reliable results. Start with a 24-hour soak in a hydrogen peroxide solution (1 part 3% H2O2 to 6 parts water) to boost germination rates. After soaking, place your seeds between two damp paper towels inside a container or plastic bag, and keep them in a warm spot (around 75 to 80°F). Most seeds crack open within 24 to 72 hours. Once a taproot appears, transfer the seed gently into your growing medium about a quarter-inch deep. For a full walkthrough, check out our germination guide.
