Chronic is our most commercial variety, this medium height, not too dense plant is the perfect combination of very good yield and excellent quality. Smokers who appreciate high-quality and grow for themselves choose this plant for its combination of appearance and sweet smell. With its Indica genetic background Chronic can produce up to 600 g/m2 without losing that special connoisseur feeling. Grows a single huge central bud with few side branches. Topping of the plants to encourage the devlopment of multiple big side buds is possible, but the total yield can be a little less this way. A sweet smell develops while flowering and this aroma will be maintained in the finished weed, if it is dried and cured well before packaging. Putting the Chronic in plastic bags before it is thoroughly dry will destroy the subtle fragrance forever, making it mediocre weed. Out of all our strains, this is the best choice for growers who are tired of losing quality while increasing yield. Already a winner of the 3rd prize at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1994, this variety was improved in 2000. 1st prize at La Bella Flor Cup Spain 2003 (by Ezequiel) and 1st prize at Highlife Cup Spain 2004 (by Mundo Ganja, Alicante). 2nd prize Highlife Cup Spain 2004, category: Hydroponic (by Perenne Grow, Barcelona). Last award won by Chronic: 2nd prize El Punto Cup 2005, category: Outdoor, Málaga, Spain.
Strain FAQ
Do any particular terpenes contribute to the sweet flavour?
The terpene Pinene, recognised for its crisp, piney aroma, can reportedly sweeten a cannabis strain. Alpha- and beta-pinene add richness to the strain's multi-layered sweetness.
Why has the Cannabis Cup moved from Amsterdam?
The Cannabis Cup began in Amsterdam in 1988 and has now expanded to the US, Canada, and Jamaica. This global extension has followed the larger cannabis markets as cannabis legalisation changes throughout the world.
Can feminised cannabis strains create male flowers?
Feminised strains are designed to be nearly always female, yet nature can occasionally throw them curveballs. They may produce male flowers under extreme stress such as irregular light cycles or environmental pressure. This shows that even with thorough genetic selection, other factors are necessary to keep plants on track!
