Sideways Shooter

Sideways Shooter is a autoflowering evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 22-28% on average, with 0.2% CBD. It is sold as autoflower seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Sideways Shooter high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. These combined effects make Sideways Shooter a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect berry and chocolate up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a berry-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, fiery orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Sideways Shooter offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants finishing in as little as 8-9 weeks from germination, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Shooter family — see Six Shooter and 6 Shooter for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
