Cream Caramel Auto by Sweet Seeds

Sweet Seeds, Spain
Type: Indica-Dominant
Genetics: East Indian BlueBlack x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino
Potency: THC 19%

Spain’s Sweet Seeds, as the name might suggest, specializes in producing cannabis strains that are sweet, aromatic and tasty. The company has built a very good name for itself due to their careful quality assurance methods and excellent germination rates. The company is also notable for selling seeds in groups of 3, 5 or 10, which is good news for rookie growers wanting to test out their set up or for those who want some variation in their grow room but don’t have the room for 100 different plants. Cream Caramel Auto is a result of crossing Sweet Seeds’ best auto-flowering plant with Cream Caramel, which itself is an interesting hybrid of East Indian BlueBlack, Maple Leaf Indica and the famous White Rhino, created with the intention of exploiting the vigor of hybrids and bringing uniformity to the offspring.

Cream Caramel Auto plants are perfect for indoor growing, as their East Indian heritage keeps them fairly small and dense, with a large central bud. Unlike some auto variations, this plant not only shares the looks of its mother but also the behavior, with the exception that it tends to rush through the vegetative stage, and the auto-flowering process cuts total grow time down to around 70 to 75 days from seed to harvest. As with all auto strains, you need to be very much aware of the size of the plant in relation to the size of the pot it is in, and ensure that you transplant into a bigger container as soon as necessary. These plants will begin to flower between 20 and 30 days no matter what their size, so if their growth is stunted by a lack of room for the roots to grow, your final harvest will suffer as a result. Near to harvest time the plants will emit an earthy aroma and the buds will be literally covered in sticky resin, which is great for any grower to see. However, this does mean that you must be careful not to touch your eyes or face when you’re chopping and to wear gloves to avoid an unpleasantly strong contact high. This might sound fun if you’ve already had a joint or two, but it isn’t.

You can be sure that sparking up a Cream Caramel Auto bud will bring you a myriad of flavorsome sensations. The dried bud has a lovely oregano-like smell and the taste of molasses and caramel comes through distinctly upon further inspection. This strain also delivers a knock-out punch of a high: a breathtaking space-out stoned sensation, plus a near dissociative body feeling that must be experienced to be believed. Not for the faint of heart!

Jet Fuel by Sativa Tim

Sativa Tim, USA

Indica-Dominant

Genetics: Green Giant x Humboldt Select x Apollo 11

Coming from Sativa Tim, an independent American breeder, Jet Fuel is the result of several years of work to stabilize one of his favorite crosses. With a family tree which includes Green Giant from the Brothers Grimm, Humboldt Select, and Apollo 11, another Brothers Grimm strain, it’s easy to guess why this plant held such appeal for him.

An indica-dominant hybrid which nevertheless shows some sativa traits, such as leaves broken into seven distinct segments, Jet Fuel has only been tested in an indoor grow room up to this point. Its plants are sturdy and short with a strong structure. Light is a big issue with these plants so be sure that they don’t languish in the dark corners of your grow room. From seed to finishing should last around 2 months or less with a good amount of wattage. A healthy amount of nutrients will leave you much rewarded upon harvest, though the yield won’t be particularly heavy. This is a ‘quality rather than quantity’ plant, a connoisseur’s strain, whose buds are worth cultivating for their density and potency alone. Growing in an organic set up could enhance the taste even further, and make your Jet Fuel harvest something really special.

Jet Fuel was so named for its gaseous smoke with undertones of orange, and a taste that’s interestingly bold. The subsequent effect is a happy, giggly one that will probably leave you feeling a little scatterbrained, and is strong without being overpowering.

Deep Purple by Subcool

Subcool and Team Green Avengers, USA

Indica-Dominant

Genetics: Purple Urkle x Querkle

Potency: THC 17-18%

www.tgagenetics.com

Deep Purple by Subcool is an indica-dominant cross between his Purple Urkle and Querkle strains. Deep Purple was designed to lock down more of the Urkle dominant traits and bring out the musty grape taste that Purple Urkle is famous for. Deep Purple produces a wide range of female plants and not all of them actually produce colors; however, the females that do produce colors are highly prized by connoisseur growers and many consider them to be among the very best indica strains around.

Like many indicas, Deep Purple is a short, stocky plant that exhibits fairly slow upward growth. She offers a medium yield and can be grown indoors or outdoors, depending on your preference. Subcool recommends that growers give Deep Purple a long vegetative stage and carefully trim some of the shade leaves to allow light to shine on the flowers. These plants are quite hardy and can handle beginner errors, but experts love them because of the complex genetics and the challenges involved in growing purple strains. Expect a harvest window of 50 to 60 days and a decent, tasty yield.

Deep Purple has an uplifting, musty grape smell to it that gives this bud some great bag appeal. Subcool has created a delicious, grapey Kush plant with the soft purple coloration that comes with it. Expect a taste like grape snow cones that offers a strong, uplifting high  known to be an excellent anti-depressant and mood lifter. 

Adonai Kush by Kushman Massive Seeds

Kushman Massive Seeds, bred by Shiloh Massive

Indica-Dominant

Genetics: Silvertooth (Super Silver Haze x Sweet Tooth #3) x Russian Kush

Potency: THC 19%

www.kushmanveganics.com

Kyle Kushman and Shiloh Massive are the guys at the centre of the new wave of Earth-friendly styles of cannabis growing and, to this end, produce plant-based nutrients and plant food while educating about growing techniques based on ‘living systems’. For this strain, breeder Shiloh Massive has crossed his beloved Russian Kush plant with Silvertooth, which itself is a hybrid of Super Silver Haze and Sweet Tooth #3. This offspring has been inbred to the f6 generation and has been fully stabilized to reduce it to just one phenotype.

Adonai Kush has an impressive genetic back list, which makes it a remarkably fun and interesting plant to cultivate. Growers should be aware that because of the Super Silver Haze and Sweet Tooth #3 background via Silvertooth, this plant really yields an enormous amount of bud for an indica-dominant. Be aware that because of the big buds that appear on this plant, Adonai Kush will prefer a dryer finishing time to prevent mold from developing. Similarly, because of the high yield and heavy flowers, be sure to stake these plants well, especially if growing outdoors in a windy location. The sturdy Russian Kush genetics provide a lot of toughness and reliability to the plant, so Adonai Kush is very hardy and works great as a commercial grower's strain, or as some delicious head stash.

Expect a very lazy, lethargic stone from Adonai Kush, with a decent dose of the munchies coming on before too long.
