Quicksilver is a 60% sativa cross of Super Silver Haze and a strain called Mimosa. This easy to grow strain is relatively fast-flowering for a sativa-dominant plant and delivers very high yields as well as loads of THC.
Plants are medium-sized but very densely-packed with multiple branches bearing firm, compact buds. Indoors flowering takes 9 weeks or thereabouts with yields of 800 gr/m2. When grown outdoors harvests are even larger at up to 1000 gr/m2.
THC production is very high at 23% and the effect is typically sativa-style euphoria yet relaxed and at the same time creative.
Strain FAQ
Do strains listed as suitable for outdoor growth have resistance to pests and diseases?
Being out in the wild, outdoor cannabis strains face a barrage of environmental stressors, from bugs to fluctuating weather. This tough love from Mother Nature prompts them to ramp up their production of terpenes and cannabinoids, which serve as their shield against these threats. It's a fascinating survival strategy that not only makes the plants hardier but is also said to improve the aroma and flavor of the buds!
How do high-yielding strains make use of light?
They're champions at photosynthesis, efficiently converting available light into plant growth. This trait is said to be crucial for maximizing yields in both outdoor and indoor environments, where making the most of light can significantly impact plant development.
What does hybrid cannabis strain phenotypic variation mean?
Individual plants in a hybrid strain can vary in colour, height, and bud structure. Breeders can improve and stabilise desired traits by selecting certain phenotypes and thereby improve the strain.
Do High-THC strains require specific legal growing conditions?
High-THC strains are said to require extra care to reach their high THC level potential. To maximise THC expression, lighting, temperature, and nutrition must reportedly be perfect. Legal growers use a variety of ingenious methods to meet these markers and let each plant shine!
Why do some cannabis strains smell and taste spicy?
Specific terpenes give spicy cannabis strains their distinct scents and flavours. These chemical components create various characteristics that range from peppery to clove, cinnamon, and cumin, resembling culinary spices.
