DESCRIPTION
The Flowerbomb Kush is the winner of the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup with the
Green House Coffeeshop.
It is a very smelly, very tasty kush, with a very stoned effect.
The Flowerbomb Kush grows stretchier than most kushes, with long branches that compete
with the main cola.
The leaves are thick, overlapping, and very dark green, with black hues.
The plants can be fed medium EC levels, and perform well in hydroponics but in soil the flavour
and taste are even sweeter and fruitier.
The buds are irregular in shape, with extra-large calyxes forming towers and prone to foxtail.
The buds get very compact, and extremely dense.
The resin is extremely thick,
and extends to most of the leaves once the flowering is reaching the end.
The Flowerbomb Kush is not the heaviest producer, but it gives a unique quality.
The first flavour is earthy, mossy, very much like an OG kush, but immediately after the explosion of fruits invades the palate.
And it ends with a spicier side, almost edgy.
The effect is very strong, complex, with a fast
hitting body effect and a more creeper cerebral side.
A truly complex, inspiring experience.
A true Champion.

Strain FAQ
Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?
Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.
Why do legal indoor cannabis growers need strain-specific environments?
Indoor cultivation offers the potential to fulfil each cannabis strain's dream circumstances. By tailoring temperature, humidity, and illumination cycles to each strain, legal growers may achieve uniformity and quality that's impossible to match outside.
What terpenes are responsible for earthiness?
Along with myrcene, humulene adds a woody tone to the earthy scent, and it's intriguing that hops contain it. Beta-caryophyllene's spicy, peppery scent adds earthiness and reportedly interacts with the endocannabinoid system.
Do high-yielding strains resist pests and diseases?
On the one hand it is known that their increased biomass makes them vulnerable to pests and illnesses. However, on the other hand, breeding has enhanced their genetic resistance. New strains are being created all the time that promise high yields as well as good disease and pest resistance.
This strain has North American and Canadian genetics, did they create auto-flowering strains?
North American and Canadian breeders pioneered the use of Russian and Central Asian Cannabis ruderalis genetics in photoperiod strains. This crossbreeding has developed auto-flowering cultivars that flower depending on age rather than light exposure, a major development for shorter growing seasons.
