Strain Report – Critical 707
Strain Overview: A very high producing strain with huge colas producing 500+ grams per metre square, an easy to grow strain that is quick to produce, flowering in 45-50 days. This strain is fairly fungi resistant and can be harvested between mid and late September. Be prepared to support the buds as they get big quickly.
The moral of this story is you cannot leave your crop unattended during the flowering and drying periods
For all of the outdoor growers out there harvest time can bring the best of times after all that hard work of the past 8 months, the rewards can be fantastic. All the flowers are harvested ready for drying and the fruits of everyone’s labors are ready to be sampled to see the final results. The growers out there amongst you will all know far too well how much of a nightmare Botrytis can be, it can ruin a crop completely within a matter of a few days if left unchecked. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it is a mold that develops on leaves and buds, which spreads extremely rapidly, in the right conditions.
LOST COAST OG
This signature OG is a great example of what California has become famous for. We crossed heirloom genetics (Pakistani Kush and Lemon Thai) from seeds brought to California 40 years with the legendary Chemdawg #4 to provide a distinct taste and high. Medically, Lost Coast OG has become renowned for its superior treatment of chronic pain, migraines, depression and a host of other medical conditions. One of California’s most potent and sought-after strains.
MASTODON KUSH
This F1 cross of two heavy indicas produce large dense buds, which are all covered in resin all the way down the stem, making it a great hash maker’s strain. The large fan leaves give her a shallow canopy, so it’s best suited to topping and works well in a sea of green of SCROG method.
CRITICAL SOUR DIESEL
A very high producing strain with huge colas producing 500+ grams per metre square, an easy to grow strain that is quick to produce, flowering in 45-50 days. This strain is fairly fungi resistant and can be harvested between mid and late September.
SOUR LEMON OG
This sativa-dominant OG variation grows vigorously in the vegetative stage, continuing into an explosive development of infrastructure in the first few weeks of flowering. Be patient, these soft, hairy buds will evolve into large, bubbly, castle-shaped colas in the final two weeks. You’ll also notice an increase in pungency and resin production toward the end, giving it that glossy, “wet” look. They love to be trellised, and nitrogen, calcium and magnesium will ensure a strong finish.
SHERBET DIP – Feminized
We have taken the best pheno of Sunset Sherbet we could find in Humboldt County and have crossed it with the best yielding Amnesia in our Basque country catalogue producing a Sherbet that yields.
The lemon of the Amnesia really complements the Sherbet tones giving a smell that is both citrusy and sweet at the same time, like having a bag of lemon sherbert at your fingertips. Adding the Amnesia into the mix has increased the yield of the Sherbet and increased the branch and stem strength removing the Cookie lineage weakness.
MANDARIN MIMOSA
We have taken one of California’s rising stars Mimosa and crossed it with one the most fragrant Mandarin high CBD rich strains we have, the terpene profile is insane and the smell of this plant is almost addictive. The results are well worth the wait, the smell literally makes your mouth water!
CRITICAL STRAWBERRY BANANA
We have taken the acclaimed Critical Bilbao from the Basque region of northern Spain and crossed it with the fruity award winning Strawberry Banana from Northern California. This cross gives the amazing production of huge cola’s from the trait of the Critical but has added the sweetness and fruity flavours of the Strawberry Banana thereby giving an ultimate plant for any grower with a sweet tooth.
BLUEBERRY GELATO – FEMINIZED
We have crossed our famous Blueberry Headband with the best Bay Area version of Gelato to create a lovely fruity blend of the best of Northern Californian genetics. Unlike regular Cookies based strains from which the Gelato is based which can be very brittle and unable to take the weight of their own buds the Blueberry Headband adds strength and vigor to the cross creating much denser and larger buds that won’t snap branches for a past time.
LOST COAST OG
This signature OG is a great example of what California has become famous for. We crossed heirloom genetics (Pakistani Kush and Lemon Thai) from seeds brought to California 40 years with the legendary Chemdawg #4 to provide a distinct taste and high. One puff and you will see why so many people around the world are so obsessed with anything OG.
LEMON DIESEL
This indica-heavy OG cross was created by backcrossing an early OG x 3 into our California Sour (Mexican Sativa x Afghan) mother. The result is a pungent, diesel-dominated beauty with immense potency and flavor. Infrastructure development is relatively symmetrical, allowing for three or four separate terminal colas, even in tight spaces. Well-suited to sea of…
GRAPEFRUIT KRUSH
This F1 cross of two classic California flavors has evolved to create this immaculate new flavor which is a great blend of two new-school genetics, though growing very moderately throughout the vegetative state, this strain does not accelerate dramatically when flipped. Tie-down methods suit this plant well, giving you a greater yield per square foot,…
BLACK BERRY OG
We have created this strain by crossing the best Black Domina available with Very Berry and our own Lost Coast OG Kush, this plant produces large colas with a super intense sweet berry flavor with a sweet smelling aroma that varies from fruit and berries to a sweet candy. This lady offers tight internal stacking…
CHEESY HEADBAND
The Headband within this cross is super high yielder, known for its vigorous veg growth and tight internodal stacking that will produce long, large colas. Headband crossed with the Cheese produces the best from both the USA and the UK, both big yielders but now with that unmistakable smell and taste that only that one…
BUBBA 76
More than two decades separate these two indica legends, brought together here for the first time. Bubba 76 produces large, rock-hard buds from top to bottom, making even the smaller pieces substantial enough to trim. Tying down the branches will produce multiple terminal colas, greatly expanding your potential yield. Be sure to provide plenty of…
ROYAL PURPLE KUSH AUTO
Vigorous vegetative growth allows for a hearty infrastructure, resulting in multiple large, fragrant, THC-encrusted “castle” colas. You can veg it longer than most plants, as it only stretches about 15-25% after entering the flowering cycle. You can enhance the plant’s purple coloring by dropping the temperature or feeding with gradually colder water in the last…
G13 X BLUEBERRY HEADBAND
We’ve taken the legend that is G13 and crossed it with our own Blueberry Headband and in doing so have produced one hell of a plant, This super high yielder, known for its vigorous veg growth and tight internodal stacking will produce long, large colas. Blueberry Headband has heavy diesel overtones with sweet berry undertones, but…
TRINITY KUSH
This short, stout plant produces well in small spaces. The single cola growth pattern makes it a good choice for sea of green and vertical grow systems. Due to its large fan leaves, the canopy closes quickly and should be kept short, with plenty of room underneath for air to move. This allows the plant…
BUBBA CHEESE AUTO
