Bender

Cannabis Strain by Lost River Seeds

Introduction
Bender from Lost River Seeds is a balanced indica/sativa hybrid completing in approximately 60 days of flowering — a name with multiple applicable readings: a sustained period of indulgence, a plumbing fitting that changes direction, or the beloved robot from Futurama, each suggesting a variety with some capacity for direction-change in experience.

Lineage
Lost River Seeds is a cannabis genetics company documented on seedfinder.eu, which places them above the Instagram-only micro-breeder tier in terms of catalogue accessibility and public documentation. The Lost River name evokes geographical mystery and discovery — rivers that disappear underground before resurfacing — consistent with a breeder working with uncommon or rediscovered genetic material. Specific parent strain documentation for Bender is available on seedfinder.eu but not reproduced in accessible summary sources; the balanced indica/sativa classification and 60-day flowering time are the primary documented characteristics. The regular seed format indicates non-feminised genetics preserving genetic diversity.

Terpenes
The terpene profile for a balanced 60-day hybrid from Lost River Seeds is not documented in accessible public sources beyond the seedfinder.eu listing. A 60-day balanced hybrid would typically feature myrcene and caryophyllene from the indica side balanced against limonene or terpinolene from the sativa-leaning parentage — a combination producing earthy spice and citrus in approximately equal proportion, with the specific dominant note depending on phenotype selection.

Growth
Growth at 60 days in a balanced classification is standard: mid-height plants with moderate bud density, hybrid vigour, and intermediate cultivation difficulty. The balanced format makes Bender accessible to a range of grower experience levels.

Effects
Reported effects for a balanced 60-day hybrid: combined mental stimulation and physical relaxation without extreme dominance in either direction. Reports vary on the indica-to-sativa ratio in effect as experienced, consistent with phenotypic variation in balanced hybrids.

Documentation
Limited grower reports available for this strain. Reported applications include recreational use and general relaxation.
