Indica 50 / Sativa 50 Origins: OG Kush x G-13 Haze Flowering: 70-80 days Kushadelic brings out the delicious psychedelic side of the Kush family. This strain is Soma’s cross of a California OG Kush and his special daddy haze. The haze father is a selection from Soma’s intensive work with hybrid hazes, a G-13 Haze / Neville’s Haze cross that has influenced many of his recent strains and beyond. Kushadelic is a 50/50 hybrid, blending the hazier qualities of the sativa with the indica voluptiousness and density of the Kush. This plant begins the vegetative phase with full, picture-perfect leaves that balance indica/sativa influences. As it progresses through flowering, the leaflets elongate to a more slender sativa appearance by finish. For most regions in the world, Kushadelic is an indoor variety, taking over 6 months from seed to finish outdoors, and a full 10 weeks in flowering under lights. Soma prefers organic soil methods with guano as fertilizer to bring out t...

Indica 70 / Sativa 30 Origins: White Widow x Northern Lights x Warlock Flowering: 60-67 days Harvest: late October Magus genetics likes to give its strains romantic names. in this case, the Exile is not a punishment, but more of an escape from circling thoughts and worries, a little mental vacation. The world “Exile” also sounds strong and isolated, which reflects this strain’s singularly deep, powerful indica stone. Exile is adaptable enough to grow well in any of the usual indoor setups. To a certain extent growers can control Exile’s branching to suit their cultivation style. Exile’s nodes develop at right angles to the stalk, proliferating medium branches on top of each other. This is true both of mature plants and cuttings, and especially likely in low to medium intensity light. Thus growers can alter Exile’s branching pattern by adjusting her light intensity. If a gardener wants columnar plants for a sea of green, the vegetative period should be shorter and the li...

Sativa 80 / Indica 20 Origins: Skunk Flowering: 63 days Harvest: late October In Greek, “euforia” means “having health”, as in physical health or an intense feeling of well-being. Fittingly, Dutch Passion’s Euforia is a very healthy, disease resistant plant. She grows strong with minimal tending indoors or out, and flourishes in Southern Europe and similar climates. She also of course provides the euphoric bliss that smokers want from primo cannabis. Indoors, Euforia is a performer that delivers on any stage, whether grown in soil, coco, or hydro, as a multi-branch or in a sea of green. She is a “half open” plant with widely spaced foliage, not bushy, and usually does not need branch supports even though her buds can get quite hefty. Because her branching and foliage is minimal, Euforia requires only the lightest of pruning for maximizing light and harvest. Careful growers start removing fan leaves slowly in week eight of flowering. She will stay strictly green unless sh...

Indica Dominant Origins: OG X Cherry Pie (Durban Poison X Granddaddy Purple) by Chris Simunek, High Times Magazine For the past few years, people in the cannabis world have been talking a lot about the strain known as Girl Scout Cookies. Cookie crosses have won or placed in several Cannabis Cups. Chances are your local pot merchant, whether he or she is working in a medical dispensary or for a delivery service, has something on the menu called Girl Scout Cookies. But the truth is that the genuine Girl Scout Cookies is quite hard to find. The breeders who created this famous strain — an outfit who call themselves the Cookie Family — do not advertise, and they do not enter Cannabis Cups. Their activities are strictly on a need-to-know basis. So when they contacted us here at HIGH TIMES with an offer to show us one of their rooms and tell us the true story of the GSC, we jumped at the opportunity. Fast-forward to Market Street in San Francisco sometime last summer. I’m ...

65% Sativa / 35% Indica Origins: Colombian, Mexican, Thai & Afghani Flowering: 56-63 days Harvest: mid/late October Yield: 350 – 500 gr/m2 A truly classic strain, AK-47 has been around since the early 1990s. This sativa dominant hybrid was reworked and stabilized by Serious Seeds in 1999. Since then, AK-47 has won multiple Cannabis Cups and awards, and her genetics have been used to create crosses by many cannabis breeders. A relatively small but influential seed company, Serious Seeds provide product to many of the Amsterdam coffeeshops. Thanks to this, as well as their penchant for creating varieties that blow others out of the waster, their strains have been much sought after. AK-47 is one of their most infamous strains, and for good reason; as well as being a complete knockout high, it is parent to many modern strains, including the auto flowering Cetme from Pit Bully Seeds and Serious Seeds’ own White Russian . AK-47 is a complex mix of Colombian, M...

65% Sativa / 35% Indica Genetics: Colombian Gold x Thai x Mexican x Afghani Flowering: 48-63 days Harvest: October Height: medium Yield: 400 – 500 g/m² in SOG Since it’s first introduction in the 1990s, AK cannabis genetics have been increasingly popular among both marijuana growers and users. Nirvana’s version of this plant, the AK-48, is known for it’s potency and an extremely quick finishing time. While it’ll usually be ready for harvest around 9 weeks, when grown in optimal conditions, this plant can finish in as little as 48 days. Although AK-48 is an indica dominant hybrid genetically, it has retained most of the a sativa qualities when it comes to smell, taste, and especially the high. These plants produce hard, dense buds that are covered in trichomes and have a very pungent aroma When it comes to growing AK-48, it is a very hardy plant which makes it a great choice for beginners. On the other hand, experienced growers can push this plant, making it ...

Sativa 60 / Indica 40 Origins: Killing Garberville x Seattle Big Bud x Mendocino Hash Plant Flowering: 60-63 days Harvest: mid October Heavy Duty Fruity has a major kick, whether your shtick is yield, flavor or stoniness. A nearly even mix of sativa and indica , this plant derives its heritage from the U.S. West Coast marijuana belt, mixing strains from Northern California’s sweet spots with a daddy from the more temperate and wet Pacific Northwest. T.H. Seeds thnks medicine Man for introducing this strain to them. Heavy Duty Fruity can be grown indoors or out, but is especially recommended for the hydroponics gardener.

Excellent yields can also be expected from outdoor plants, which will be ready in the last half of October when grown in Holland’s latitude. This variety...

Indica Origins: Skunk #1 Cheese variant x Blueberry Flowering: 60-70 days Harvest: late October Barney’s Farm Blue Cheese crosses the popular UK Cheese strain with the perennially popular Blueberry. Cheese is thought to be a distinctive Skunk #1 variant known for its pungent, intense flavors as much as for its immensely enjoyable and easygoing buzz. This strain came up in the UK, where it got a reputation as kind bud, but was only available in clone form. Then Big Buddha backcrossed it in the mid-2000s to create seeds, which opened up breeding possibilities. Here, Cheese is crossed with an indica -dominant Blueberry father, a strain known for its flavors and its purple-blue coloration. When selectively crossed, these two distinct tasting and widely recognized varieties have resulted in an incredibly fragrant and easy to grow strain. Barney’s Farm Blue Cheese likes to shoot up long and straight, forming a thick main stem. The side branching is significant and forms a stro...

Indica 75 / Sativa 25 Origins: NZ Skunk x NYC Diesel Flowering: 50-60 days Harvest: early September In the late 1980s the skunk invasion landed on New Zealand’s shores. This short-flowering, heavy-yielding variety added a whole new dimension to growing in New Zealand, which at that stage was limited to outdoor guerilla groves of big sativas. Smaller indica-dominant plants meant less chance of detection by air; earlier flowering meant valuable crops were in before drug enforcement agencies spotted them, and the novelty of the skunk stone meant prices for the herb were higher than for the traditional sativas. hence many haze / sativa growers around that time gave up their long-flowering types of indica , stabilizing unique strains of new Zealand (“kiwi”) skunk. Kiwiskunk is a cross of one of these skunks with a NYC Diesel, adding something extra when it comes to taste. All the classic skunk qualities are here: short and stocky plants, high calyx-to-leaf ratio, full fat bu...
