Northern Spice (F1)

Week 6 of flower and bud growth and frost development continues. Slowly though… these F1s have taken a remarkable long time to enter flower and resultant stretch has been ridiculous. This is in direct contrast to one that we have growing outdoors which is developing far more typically/normal. What is growing is both lush and healthy but for an indoor cultivar, this cross might just be too unmanageable. The fim did nothing to break apical dominance and as a result we’ve been knocking down the canopy with hst and lst to avoid any light burning issues. Bud size is expected to be popcorn like, even at the tops and the nodal spacing is just too long to realize significant yields at harvest. Regardless, it is a strong and resilient genetic that doesn’t require nearly as much maintenance and feeding as the average strain. Probably a benefit of the NL genetics within er. Nice to see that at least some of that transferred as the rest of these plants appear very sativa dominant. I suspect a very extended flowering time based on current development - possibly up to 11/12 weeks of flower before we’re ready to chop. It’s all an unknown right now but other than that - these girls are lookn just fine👍👌 Strain details She’s a mix of a particularly strong Northern Lights, crossed with a Spicy Bitch sativa hybrid. The hope is that we’ll be able to combine the overtly narcotic effects in the NL and mellow it out somewhat with the quality daytime sativa effects found in the SB. Both strains feature numerous grower qualities. Both parents possessed vigour and resiliency, the SB particularly colourful in late flower. These beans were the product of a shotgun breeding run that presented an unexpected opportunity so there’s quite a bit of testing that should flow from the various F1’s we’ve produced.
