If Hollywood ever makes a movie about a cannabis seed company (and with Arnie on the case that might not be too far away) that company will be the Bulldog. It started life as an underground smokers’ den, which turned into the first ex-sex-shop coffeeshop in Amsterdam, and now comprises locations in several countries, a hotel, and stacks of branded merchandise – a real ‘rags to riches’ story. The Bulldog Seeds  produces its own strains, such as Bullshark, a hybrid of Green House’s Great White Shark and Skunk #5. The award-winning Great White Shark brings Super Skunk, South Indian and Brazilian genetics, which result in great yields and a very strong body stone, while the Skunk family, hailing from the original indica/sativa mix, needs no introduction and brings strength and potency to Bullshark.

A 70/30 indica/sativa mix, Bullshark is a simple and fast strain that’s suitable for growers of all different abilities, from the newest cultivator to the most skilled breeder. A double dose of Skunk genetics means that these plants give off the distinctive Skunk aroma, while the indica genetic ensure that they stay short and dense through their whole life span. Fat buds will grow along the main stalk as well as the secondary branches, meaning that towards the end of flowering you may need to give some extra support to the plant by staking or netting. Flowering occurs within 8 weeks, and a square yard of grow space will yield between 600 and 700 grams. Outdoors, if you’re growing in the Northern hemisphere, harvest will be around mid-October. When you’re drying these buds, the outside tends to dry faster than the inside and will appear to be crisping up after only a couple of days. However, the buds will not be properly aired out inside, so resist the temptation and leave them to cure until you’re sure that the whole bud is fully dry. If you give in and roll up some wet weed, it won’t burn and will leave a bad taste (literally) in your mouth.

A smooth smoke, Bullshark has the strong body effect and skunky sweet taste of its Great White Shark parent. A hint of fruitiness comes through that’s not very noticeable while the buds are growing, which is probably thanks to the Great White Shark parentage. The taste lingers delectably on your palate even as the creeping strength of the high takes over your whole body. This heaviness doesn’t tend to go away quickly either, so set yourself up for the night with some good entertainment and enjoy the feeling.
