Spoetnik #1 is a versatile plant with excellent resistance to a wide variety of horticultural problems. She has compact rock hard buds, and offers an unusually cerebral stone for a pure Indica an uplifting, meditative awareness.
This variety is a superb spectacle. Her slow start may cause growers concerns. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she bursts forth around day 38 or 40 of the flowering cycle. Spoetnik #1 seems like she is reviving her engines, storing up everything she is fed for the countdown in the last 2 weeks of flowering, when she explodes with amazing power.
By harvest, the plants look oily, thanks to their heavy coating of glands. Her colas form into rockets: long and cylindrical.
She tastes like dark Corinthian grapes mixed with a mineral, astringent touch on the exhale. The effects of this pure Indica strain are surprisingly uplifting, with no physical crash at the end. The high is felt mostly on the top of the head and in the face.

Strain FAQ
How are grape-flavored strains special?
Grape-flavored strains benefit from the entourage effect, or cannabis compound synergy. The blend of terpenes combines with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to reportedly enhance the effects and grape flavour.
What makes most short-flowering strains Indica or Indica-dominant?
Shorter flowering times than Sativas make Indica strains or their hybrid progeny reportedly ideal for fast harvests. Indica strains have this trait due to the cold northern climates they evolved in.
Where do indica strains come from and how does this effect their development?
Indica strains come from the harsh Hindu Kush mountains on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. These plants are strong and durable because of the unforgiving climate they evolved in, which allows them to thrive even under poor conditions. They seem naturally equipped to manage tough terrain and hard times.
