How to grow American Beauty
Seb's take
Berry, mango and tropical fruit on the nose, with a lineage that name-drops Cinderella 99 and Black Cherry Soda along the way — American Beauty keeps some things to itself, but not the flavour. The high is a cheerful, giggly, hungry sort of business, uplifted and euphoric rather than sedate. Resin-heavy buds that will gum up your scissors come harvest.
Growing American Beauty: what to expect
Feminized, so you'll not be sexing plants or evicting males. Photoperiod, so veg lasts exactly as long as you decide — see the vegetative stage on how long that ought to be.
Expect around 9 weeks in flower — textbook timing. Textbooks, for once, being useful: here's ours.
A heavy producer at 500 – 900 g/m². Plan your drying space before harvest week rather than during it — she will test the dimensions of the thing.
Potency sits in the milder band — 17% THC on the breeder's sheet. No embellishment from us; the figure is the figure.
The nose is fruit-led, and generous about it.
The dominant note in the reviews is uplifting; daytime company, by most accounts.
