French Touch presents its first regular variety, Irie. Developed since many years by a breeder of the collective, Irie is a cross between kasper Diesel, a cross with NYC Diesel and Soma, and a clone of the Juanita Lagrimosa, a variety well known in Spain for its high content of CBD. Irie expresses two phenotypes, one more compact indica covered with resin (75 days) and a Sativa for which the resin takes a little more time to appear and is ready for harvest 10 days later but with a better performance.
The flavor of both phenotypes tends towards apple taste with a subtle hint of diesel. An enjoyable smoke full of flavors and very odorous, beware of neighbors!
Strain FAQ
Why do many people prefer strains with a medium-flowering time?
For those seeking yield and potency, 56–90-day-flowering seeds are said to be ideal. This timeframe reportedly allows the plant to completely express its genetic potential, providing a good turnaround without compromising harvest quality or quantity.
Genetically, how do strains that are ready to harvest by mid-October adapt?
These strains usually have faster maturation genes. They conclude by mid-October thanks to ruderalis' auto-flowering features and indica's shorter flowering periods.
Were Sativa strains ever used for anything other than getting high or medicine?
Sativas' capabilities go beyond just these two things. Their strong fibres have been used to make ropes, clothes, and paper. This shows just how varied and valuable the cannabis plant has been even before its more modern uses.
How does environment alter these strains' fuel-like aroma?
Those powerful gasoline aromas depend on the environmental conditions. Soil pH, nutrient mix, and drying method are all said to be able to change the terpene profile and gasoline aroma. It's reportedly a delicate balance that requires precision.
Has outdoor cannabis growing a lower carbon footprint than indoor?
Due to its low energy use for lights and HVAC systems, legal outdoor cannabis farming is environmentally friendly. This greener method reduces electricity use and the carbon footprint of growing cannabis.
