Grubbycup's Stash by Grubbycup Stash Seeds


Grubbycup Stash Seeds, USA
Indica-Dominant
Genetics: (White Rhino x Blueberry) x (Blackberry x Purple Lady)
Potency: THC 17%



The name of this strain couldn’t be more telling if it tried; bred by marijuana author Grubbycup, it’s come to be a favorite of his, and therefore always a big part of his stash. Working out of the USA, Grubbycup used a cross between a White Rhino, of Indian and Afghani indica and Brazilian sativa genetics, and a Blueberry plant for the father, and romantically introduced this to a Blackberry / Purple Lady cross. These parents not only exhibited potency and fruit flavors, but the thick buds and strong plant structure that Grubbycup wanted to harness.

The way the plant grows is actually its most notable feature; in later generations of seeds, a trait known as whorled phyllotaxis is common. In layman’s terms, this means that there are three or four branches per node, instead of the usual two. If your seeds are of an earlier generation, this may not occur, but you definitely will see fat leaves and tight floral clusters that can be grown as a single cola or multiples, depending on how you choose to prune the plant. Due to the busy branches, and despite the strength of the plant’s structure, you might find that in the flowering stages it starts to drop its arms somewhat under the weight of all those buds. If this occurs, simply stake to the branches to support them and keep an eye on them for the rest of the grow period. Netting can also be used to this effect, though it’s a little more complicated. Primarily grown indoors, Grubbycup’s Stash finishes in around 10 weeks and has many traits that make it suitable for a less experienced grower, including a high tolerance to bud rot and over-feeding of nutrients. However, even a toker who’s been growing their own for 40 years will appreciate the unique look of these plants and the ease with which they can be brought to harvest. It’s not a coincidence that these plants are the breeder’s favorites, and as the buds grow to their full size in their last weeks of flowering it will probably become your plant of choice, too.

This strain has a very strong effect straight off, but fades somewhat and gives way to a much more long-lasting stone that creeps up on you when you think the high is almost over. The flavor is clean and tasty and the smoke is mild, and though the effects are strongly felt, it’s heady enough that you can smoke this guy all day, if the fancy takes you.

  4. I've grown this strain, and it's always been one of my favorites. It's really 'creeper' smoke, and it also reduces vascular pain very effectively. It's a very good 'sex' weed, as well. A head rush with body overtones. It doesn't have that quick, fuelish rush, so it's more of a 'chick weed.' There's a nice sweet, fruity taste on the exhale. It's mellow and comes on slowly, but effectively. Good strain!
