Special Sauce hemp flower is one of the most well-rounded strains in Sunset Lake CBD’s hemp flower lineup. This year’s cultivar tests at 14.9% total CBD, and comes bearing gifts in the form of a well-rounded terpene profile.

Like many CBD hemp flower strains, Special Sauce hemp flower can trace its roots back to some very high-yielding marijuana strains. Over time, geneticists have bred the THC out of the parent strains and bred CBD in. This technique has created bigger, high-CBD buds that look, smell, and smoke like traditional THC cannabis.
Special Sauce is Oregon CBD Seeds’ flagship strain. It’s a unique bud that produces an otherworldly smell and taste profile. Be on the lookout for any Special Sauce that claims to be from any breeder other than Oregon CBD Seeds— they’ve never shared its proprietary genetics.
Special Sauce hemp flower is a Sativa-dominant hybrid cross. That doesn’t mean that Special Sauce hemp flower should be considered a daytime strain only though. Special Sauce hemp flower is a do-it-all strain and will work for you any time.
Smoking Sunset Lake CBD’s Special Sauce hemp flower will not make you feel high or intoxicated.
To be considered hemp flower and not marijuana, smokable hemp must contain less than 0.3% d9-THC by dry weight. Instead of feeling high, as you would with traditional marijuana, you might feel much more relaxed or chilled when you smoke Special Sauce.
Special Sauce hemp flower is good for any time use. Special Sauce has been known to help give its users peace of mind and full-body relaxation.
Special Sauce has a sweet vanilla odor with hints of caramelized sugar. The real pleasure of Special Sauce is the taste— earthy, with subtle savory and fruity notes.
Special Sauce is a myrcene-dominant cultivar, accounting for about half of the terpene weight in this year’s testing sample. The second and third most common terpenes are beta-caryophyllene and humulene, respectively.
When myrcene is taken with CBD, it’s thought to contribute to the “couch lock” effect, leading many to believe that myrcene may have some sedative effects. Myrcene is also commonly found in mangos and thyme.
Beta-caryophyllene is an interesting terpene as it’s the only terpene to also interact with your endocannabinoid system and provide anti-inflammatory effects. This terpene helps add a bit of spice to Special Sauce’s profile as it’s also found in black pepper and cinnamon.
Formerly known as alpha-caryophyllene, humulene was renamed after Humulus lupulus, also known as the hops plant (also part of the Cannabaceae family just like cannabis). Humulene has, in some controlled settings, been shown to exhibit antifungal and antibacterial properties. Humulene is responsible for Special Sauce’s earthy undertones as it can also be found in hops and wood.
We germinated our Cherry Abacus hemp flower in our greenhouses up in Vermont’s Champlain Islands. Once they were big enough to transplant, we moved the Special Seedlings into the field sandwiched between all of the other Oregon cultivars.
We did not use any pesticides at any point during germination, growing, flowering or harvesting. Instead, with guidance from the University of Vermont extension school, we used an integrated pest management system and employed the use of Trichogramma parasitic wasps, assassin bugs, and ladybugs to control unwanted pests. We only used organic fertilizer that we secured from our main farm in Alburgh Vermont.
