How to Grow Coma
Coma is a potent, pungent, indica-dominant feminized strain that crosses Skunk #1 with Cheese. It is a 60/40 indica/sativa with a high 24-26% THC, a savory flavor of tangy cheese, bright citrus and sweetness, and a euphoric, happy, relaxed effect. Heavy-yielding and strongly aromatic, it is a rewarding strain to grow.
As a feminized strain, Coma produces only female, flower-bearing plants, so you can skip sexing and avoid sorting out males. Every seed goes toward a productive, bud-growing plant from the start. You grow it under long days through its vegetative stage, then switch the lights to 12/12 to trigger flowering, which gives you full control over the plant’s final size and its timing.

Growing a Feminized Strain
Coma is a photoperiod feminized strain, which means it flowers in response to the light cycle rather than its age. You keep it under long days, usually 18 hours of light, for as long as you want it to grow and build structure, then switch to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness (12/12) to tell the plant to start flowering. Because every seed grows into a female, there are no males to find and remove, so your whole crop goes toward buds.
That control suits an indica-dominant plant like Coma, which has plenty of indica compactness with a touch of sativa reach. It stays manageable at around 1.5 m, so flip it once it has filled your space. Use the vegetative stage to top it and spread the canopy, which opens up the flowering sites and helps its dense, resinous, pungent colas develop evenly through its 8 to 10 week bloom.
Climate and Where to Grow It
Coma suits a warm, tropical or Mediterranean climate and grows well both indoors and outdoors where it gets strong light and a steady, warm season. Outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere it finishes around October, so it needs a reasonably mild autumn to ripen its heavy buds fully. At a moderate 1.5 m it is easy to manage in a tent or in the ground, and it rewards good light with dense, resinous flowers.
Its high 24-26% THC places it firmly among our high-THC seeds, and its compact, indica-dominant structure sits naturally in our indica seeds. With Skunk #1 and Cheese on both sides of its family tree, it carries a classic, pungent skunk heritage from our skunk strains, which is where its tangy, savory cheese character comes from.
On yield it is a genuine heavy cropper, around 450-550 g/m² indoors and 550-700 g per plant outdoors, so it rewards good light and steady feeding with a generous harvest. One thing to plan for is its pungency: Coma has a strong, skunky cheese aroma in flower, so use good carbon filtration if you need discretion indoors. Keep temperatures around 68-80°F (20-27°C) and humidity sensible through flowering so the dense buds ripen clean.
Feeding Schedule (EC Guide)
Coma is a hungry, heavy-yielding plant that feeds well, but build the nutrients gradually rather than pushing it hard early. Start light while it is young, build through the vegetative stage, shift toward phosphorus and potassium once it flips into flower, then flush at the end so the savory cheese, citrus and sweet notes come through clean. The ranges below are a starting guide; adjust to your water and medium.
| Stage | EC (mS/cm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Seedling | 0.5-0.7 | Very light feed while roots establish |
| Vegetative | 1.0-1.5 | Build nitrogen as the plant grows |
| Early flower | 1.4-1.7 | Shift toward bloom nutrients (P and K) |
| Full flower | 1.6-1.9 | Peak bloom feed for its heavy buds |
| Flush | 0.0-0.4 | Plain water for the final 1-2 weeks |
Flowering and Harvest
Once you flip it to 12/12, Coma takes about 8 to 10 weeks to finish. It builds dense, chunky, trichome-coated buds on a sturdy frame, developing a strong, tangy, savory cheese aroma with a bright citrus lift and a sweet undertone as it ripens. That pungent, skunky cheese character is the signature of its Skunk #1 and Cheese parents, now with extra resin and potency.
Yields are generous, around 450-550 g/m² indoors and 550-700 g per plant outdoors on a large, well-fed specimen. Keep the colas supported and the canopy open so light reaches the lower buds, feed it steadily through flower, and harvest when most of the trichomes have turned cloudy with a few amber for the fullest savory-cheese, citrus flavor and the most rounded, potent effect.
Drying and Curing
Dry whole plants or branches in a dark room at around 60°F (15-18°C) and 55-60% humidity for 7-14 days, until the thin stems snap rather than bend. A slow, even dry matters with such dense, resinous buds, because they can stay damp in the middle while the outside dries, and a gentle dry protects the tangy cheese and bright citrus aroma that defines the strain.
Then cure the trimmed buds in sealed jars, burping them daily for the first week and letting them settle for three to four weeks. A proper cure is what develops the savory cheese, citrus and sweet notes and smooths the smoke, turning a freshly dried harvest into the pungent, tangy, full-bodied result Coma is known for.
What to Do With Your Trim
Don’t bin the sugar leaves you remove while manicuring. Coma is a very resinous, sticky plant, so its trim is excellent for dry sift, bubble hash or rosin. That heavy resin and strong, cheesy-citrus aroma make the trim genuinely valuable, turning offcuts into a potent, flavorful concentrate run rather than waste, a real bonus with such a high-THC cultivar.
Flavor and Terpenes
Coma leads with a savory, tangy cheese flavor, lifted by bright citrus and rounded off with a sweet undertone, a bold, old-school skunk-and-cheese profile. It is a pungent, full-bodied smoke, and a good cure brings that cheesy, citrus-sweet character forward in the jar and on the inhale, with the citrus balancing the savory funk.
Its terpene profile is simple and drives that flavor. Caryophyllene is behind the savory, peppery, skunky-cheese note, while limonene adds the bright citrus lift that keeps it fresh. Myrcene forms an earthy, fruity base underneath that carries the sweetness. Together these three terpenes give Coma its signature cheese-and-citrus character, keeping it tangy and complex rather than flat.
Effects and Best Use
With its high 24-26% THC and indica-dominant 60/40 make-up, Coma delivers a potent, well-rounded experience. It is reported as euphoric, happy and relaxed, pairing a bright, cheerful lift with a comfortable, settled body. The potency is genuinely high, so a measured dose goes a long way, especially for newer smokers who may prefer to start slow.
That euphoric, happy, relaxed profile makes it a versatile strain for late afternoon or evening use, alongside its bold cheese-and-citrus flavor. The combination of real potency, a heavy yield and a pungent, old-school skunky taste is exactly why Coma stays popular among flavor-focused feminized strains.
Common Problems and Pro Tips
Coma is forgiving and beginner-friendly, but its dense, heavy, resin-packed colas and strong aroma are the two things to plan for. Those tight buds can trap moisture, so keep the air moving and ease the humidity down as the flowers fill out to avoid trouble in the heart of the bud. The pungent, skunky smell in flower is intense, so run good carbon filtration indoors if you need to keep things discreet.
At a moderate 1.5 m it is easy to handle, and gentle, low-stress training during veg opens the canopy so light reaches every bud site and feeds those heavy yields. Do your topping and training early, while the plant is still growing, spread the canopy evenly, and support the heaviest colas late in flower so they do not bend under their own weight.
As a pro tip, make the most of its flavor and frost: feed it well through its heavy bloom but flush properly at the end, since a clean finish protects the tangy cheese and bright citrus terpenes, and give it a full three to four week cure. Save the frosty trim for concentrates, and harvest when most trichomes are cloudy with a few amber for a rich, potent result.
FAQ
Is Coma a feminized strain?
Yes. Coma is a photoperiod feminized strain, so every seed grows into a female, flower-bearing plant and you never have to sex or remove males. You grow it under long days through the vegetative stage, then switch the lights to 12/12 to trigger flowering, which gives you full control over the plant’s size and when it finishes.
How much THC does Coma have?
Coma is a potent, high-THC strain, testing from about 24% up to 26% depending on the phenotype and how it is grown. Combined with its indica-dominant 60/40 genetics, the result is a euphoric, happy, relaxed effect. Because the potency is high, it is well worth dosing carefully, especially if you are newer to strong strains and prefer a gentler experience.
How long does Coma take to flower?
Coma takes about 8 to 10 weeks in flower once you switch it to a 12/12 light cycle. Outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere it comes down around October. That window lets it build its dense, heavy, resinous buds and develop the pungent, tangy cheese aroma and bright citrus lift that give the strain its bold character.
What does Coma taste like?
It has a savory, tangy cheese flavor lifted by bright citrus, with a sweet undertone, a bold old-school skunk-and-cheese profile. Caryophyllene drives the savory, peppery note, while limonene adds the citrus lift and myrcene carries the sweetness. A proper three to four week cure brings that cheesy, citrus-sweet character forward on the inhale.
How much does Coma yield?
Coma is a heavy producer, giving around 450-550 g/m² indoors and 550-700 g per plant outdoors on a well-fed specimen. Give it strong light, steady feeding, an open canopy and support for the dense colas to get the most from its big, resinous, high-THC buds across its 8 to 10 week flowering.
Is Coma indica or sativa?
Coma is indica-dominant, at a 60/40 split, so it grows as a fairly compact, sturdy plant with dense buds, staying manageable at around 1.5 m. Despite that indica structure, its effect is reported as euphoric, happy and relaxed, an upbeat character that makes it versatile for late afternoon or evening use.
