Shimo is the jewel resulting from the genetic cross of the popular RS11 with K-mintz, adding to our catalog a valuable lineage sought after by the most discerning collectors of cannabis genetics. Shimo seamlessly blends the unmistakable Zkittlez flavor with the powerful potency of Kush Mints and Sherbet.
Shimo, with its robust and balanced genetics, has a moderate flowering time of approximately 7 to 8 weeks indoors. In outdoor environments, it is usually ready for harvest in late September or early October, depending on local weather conditions.
Strain FAQ
How do early finishers handle environmental changes?
Strains finishing by early October are recognised for their weather resistance. They are said to be able to stay healthy and productive as the weather changes from late summer to autumn because of their robustness.
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.
Are feminized strains known for having consistent cannabinoid levels?
Yes, consistent cannabinoid profiles are to be expected with feminised strains. These plants are genetically adjusted for qualities like THC and CBD production, so a more uniform output can be expected. This benefits those who need exact cannabinoid levels for medical or recreational use.
Is the Hawaiian genetic influrence in this strain important?
The seclusion of the Hawaiian islands has produced cannabis strains with distinctive genetic lines, terpene profiles, and cannabinoid ratios. These genetic differences reflect Hawaii's unique climatic conditions, providing flavours and effects that are hard to recreate elsewhere.
What are some significant indica terpenes and their effects?
Indica strains can have terpenes like myrcene, which is is said to be a sedative, and linalool, which is said to calm. These create the "couch-lock" effect, making indica strains most desired for deep relaxation.
