California Wildfire produces big, bubbly, coke bottle-shaped calyxes on massive colas, bursting with that Chemdawg zing. This plant grows rapidly during the vegetative stage and will double in size after flipping, so timing is important if space is an issue. Once you’re into flowering, be sure to provide support for the massive, trichome-covered terminal colas, to include staking and a steady nutrient regimen. Preventative measures will help ensure that the unusually large, dense buds are free of powdery mildew, to which this plant has a minor susceptibility. The Chemdawg influence shines through in the smell, taste and effect of this new California classic. The sourness hits you instantly, accented by slight earthy undertones and a pungent citrus aftertaste. Not for the casual smoker due to its high THC content and powerful, almost hallucinogenic head high.
Strain FAQ
How is it seen as stealthier to use 12/12 photoperiod seeds?
Beginning with a 12/12 light schedule from seedling stage is said to be helpful in staying hidden. This method, called "12/12 from seed," reduces the vegetative phase, creating compact plants.
How long do indica-dominant strains flower compared to sativas?
The fastest flowering strains are indica-dominant, finishing in 45–60 days. This fast flowering phase helps legal growers get their plants to maturity quickly, reducing the time from seed to harvest.
Why are regular seeds seen as more exciting?
Regular seeds are seen as exciting because of their unpredictability. Each seed is a mystery of different phenotypes, potentially growing into plants with unique taste, scent, and many other factors.
Can late-October strains have various flavours?
Contrary to popular assumption, these fast-finishing strains have a wide range of terpene profiles, from earthy and piney to sweet and fruity, reportedly without sacrificing taste.
What role do sour strains play in cannabis diversity?
Sour strains have pioneered cannabis flavour diversity. They've encouraged breeders to develop strains with complex flavours and smells, beyond the typical flavours.
