White Widow - Royal Queen Seeds
Undoubtedly a good
example of what represents a White strain cannabis seeds plant with a big Indica
influence, fairly low yields, but strong buzz and meaty, firm bodied buds.
Preventive measures must be taken and humidity kept dose to 60% during growth
and at the start of flowering, in this way, attacks by the red spider mite,
arch-enemy of this strain, are avoided. On the other hand, to avoid certain
moulds that the White Widow is susceptible to, humidity must be kept fairly low
towards the end of flowering.
True to her name, she has a frosting of white
crystals on her buds and inner leaves. Dedicated growers who know how to Look
after the White Widow will reap the rewards when it comes to harvesting, since
she has an undeniable buzz, and at the same time a pleasant fruity flavour,
making her an ideal herb for chilling out and savouring the flavour. Feminised.
AK47 x Lowryder -
Lowryder Seeds
An F1 cross of a Lowryder #2 cannabis seeds and the
new Automatic AK-47 cannabis seeds in which the parents have
passed on their best genetic characteristics: a high resin yield, a fruity aroma
carefully selected from Lowryder #2 phenotypes and the size and branches of the
Automatic AK-47. This polyhybrid is completely auto-flowering and matures 70-75
days of germination, reaching an optimum size if given enough light (intensity
and time).
The best conditions are 20 hours of light and 4 of darkness during
the whole cycle. Outdoors, the best season (for yield) is between May and
August, but it's very easy to do more cycles per season up until November. In
winter, it's not recommendable (although the plant develops the same) because
the poorer light quality has a considerable effect on the yield. Automatic.
Speed Devil - Sweet Seeds
This auto-flowering
cannabis seeds, feminised strain is Sweet Seeds first autoflowerer. She can be
grown at any time of the year as her flowering time is independent of the season
or photoperiod. All of the plants start to flower after approximately the forth
real pair of leaves appears. This strain produces extra fast plants that are
ready to be harvested with ripe and perfectly formed, resinous and aromatic buds
just 60 days after germinating the seeds. This group of strains includes the
quickest flowerers known today. The size of the plants at the end of flowering
is small, no more than 80 cm in height, which makes them very fast and discreet.
In addition, normal flowering for these plants is not affected by light
pollution like street lamps, which inhibits flowering on other cannabis plants.
These plants have no great nutritional demands and during their short growth
cycles fertilizers are not necessary if the substratum is a good quality. Weekly
watering with fertilizer is usually enough to develop these speedy little demons
during their short flowering cycle. A sweet musky aroma with notes of yeast and
cheese. Feminised.
Bubblegum - Serious Seeds
In 2004, after a bit of a
winning streak in which she picked up a good few awards, Soft Secrets named
Bubblegum their plant of the year and since then she's been very popular with
growers. Her acidic, strawberry bubblegum flavour can be better appreciated by
using a vaporizer than by smoking her. She's a very productive plant with a
sweet flavour meaning you can be generous with the fertilizer and be rewarded
with abundant harvests. It's the only Serious Seeds cannabis seeds strain that
isn't an F1, which is why the bank recommends a little more patience during the
first stages, whereas in actual fact the plant poses no problems for beginners.
One of her phenotypes is branched and the other, the more interesting of the
two, has a central bud. Pruning can be used if you want to limit the height. Her
generous foliage produces copious transpiration, meaning it resists the red
spider mite better than most. There's no need to worry about over-watering her,
for a good harvest give her as much as she wants.
Grown outdoors she's
harvested at the start of October. She withstands humidity well and gives good
bud yields without too much work. She a predominantly Indica plant, with a touch
of Sativa which makes her lighter, so she doesn't knock you out with her buzz.
Normal.
Kandahar - Ministry of Cannabis
Grow Report. I got 2
bags of Kandahar in September in combination with the cooltube that I have just
installed in my DarkRoom cupboard. I germinated 10 cannabis seeds and after 5
days I got 10 little plants. I planned to grow 6 of them, so I gave the other 4
to my sister-in-law. After a few days I put the 6 sisters into big pots of about
9 litres, and started to fertilize them directly with Biocanna Terra Vega, this
time skipping a root stimulator. This plant is an authentic super Indica strain
and produces the fattest leaves I've euer touched. I was already excited at this
stage just thinking about all the sugar in the big leaves, which would soon
become the bricks for building fat heavy buds. In less than 4 weeks the plants
were ready to flower, so I switched to 12/12. The first pistils appeared after
12 days, and the first resin crystals after 19 days. After that, the flowering
accelerated and the little buds were covered in resin by the 4th week. After the
first month, the flowering process became more regular and the growth and
ripening of the buds progressed at a much more regular rhythm. I cut them on day
59, when about 60% of the pistils were brown. I like (and this is my personal
opinion) to harvest Indicas a few days early, so the effect is less lethargic.
In any case, I started to smoke it after 5 days, and the effect was similar to
drinking a young wine. When it's properly dried and cured, after a month this
strain comes into its own. I don't recommend it to inexperienced smokers,
because this is serious shit; I think the THC content is even higher than what
the producer declared (or maybe I'm a great grower).
I found Kandahar's aroma
really nice, it's an earthy, warm smoke with a walnut aftertaste. Despite
cutting one or two or maybe even 3 buds along the way, I jumped with joy when it
came to weighing my bumper crop (average yield was more than 80 g per plant).
Feminised.
Bonkers - Next Generation Seed Company
The Bonkers cannabis seeds strain is a favourite in Canadian British Columbia.
Originally bred as an outdoor strain on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, this
strain brings together many of the main selection criteria to create the
ultimate outdoor plant. The amount of resin is astounding on this strain and
even appears on the fan leaves, making it a hash producers dream, the whole
plant can be used with hardly any waste. Designed to be mould¬resistant in the
rainy outdoor weather. Fruity and smooth tasting buds.
For the past 5 years,
Next Generation Seed Company has selectively bred this new hybrid in an attempt
to stabilize their favourite features. Big yields are a must in breeding the
ultimate outdoor plant and this one has what it takes to fill the bags. Even the
lower branches are big with fist size buds. Bonkers has some auto-flowering
characteristics that are brought out if the plants are grown in containers or
are at all root bound. An inexperienced grower may find it difficult to keep a
mother vegetative for a Jong time. Just remember if you want to keep a mother
vegetative or keep her until the next outdoor season, you'll need to keep her
nitrogen levels up, blocking the tendency to auto-flower. With cuttings,
sometimes it's easier to clone the fresh tips and wait until another round of
fresh tips come through from these rooted cuttings. She clones easily as she's a
softer tissued plant that roots without any problems.
In the last
few years at NGSC they've grown a few rounds of Bonkers with amazing results.
Very fast flowering, the flowers form in 6-7 weeks and the buds are huge.
Excellent for Sea of Green growers. In future generations of breeding, this
plant will be selected for greater bud density and less foliage. This strain is
leafier than many other strains, working on the theory that the abundance of
smaller leaves provides direct energy to the flowers creating much fatter buds
in return. Normal.
