How to grow Chronic
Flowering 56 - 63 days 
Yield 350 – 600 g/m² Taste
Seb's take
A three-way heritage cross of Northern Light, Skunk and AK47, on the market since 1994 and near enough an even split between sativa and indica. Earthy, pungent skunk with a sweet, spiced-herbal edge on the nose; the high is happy, giggly, uplifted, relaxed and euphoric in turn. A name that has earned its place, rather than bought it.
Where it comes from
Serious Seeds have kept this one on the market since 1994, and it has stayed there on merit. The lineage is a heritage cross of Northern Light, Skunk and AK47, three names that need no introduction, blended to sit near enough evenly between sativa and indica. A name that has earned its place rather than bought it, and the record notes a CBD level of 5% alongside the potency, which is more than most of its vintage carry.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and pungent, with the skunk showing plainly, and a sweetness underneath softening the sharper edges. A spiced, herbal note rounds the whole thing off. It is a classic Skunk-descended aroma, loud and unashamed, the kind that tells you exactly what you are holding before you have lit anything.
The high
A well-balanced arc that moves through happy, giggly and uplifted before settling toward relaxed, euphoric throughout. The near-even split between sativa and indica shows in how it holds both a lift and a settle at once, neither one running away with the evening. Agreeable, sociable, and rather more even-handed than most of its era managed.
Growing it
A feminized plant flowering in 56 to 63 days, call it eight or nine weeks, which is prompt. The record lists the THC only as high without a figure, so take the pedigree and the CBD of 5% as the measure rather than a number I would have to invent. Yields run across a wide band, 350 to 600 g/m², which points to a plant responsive to how it is grown, generous when treated well. A dependable, long-serving strain that has outlasted most of its contemporaries for good reason.
