How to grow Clementine
Taste
Seb's take
Tangie and Lemon Skunk gave this Californian its bold citrus identity, good enough to win Best Sativa Concentrate at the 2015 High Times Cup. Orange brightness and sharp lemon dominate the nose; the high is happy and relaxed, with an appetite that follows close behind. Mostly sativa in structure, and give her the headroom.
Where it comes from
Born in California from Tangie and Lemon Skunk, this one carries the bold citrus identity of both parents and did enough with it to win Best Sativa Concentrate at the 2015 High Times Cup. World Wide Cultivars keep the line. Seventy percent sativa, and the lineage explains the whole plant, two citrus-forward names crossed for exactly the result their names promise. A decorated cross, and it wears the award well.
Nose & flavour
Built around orange brightness and lemon sharpness, with citrus running the length of it, exactly as the parentage would lead you to expect. It is a clean, zesty nose, the kind that reads as a bowl of fruit rather than anything heavier. Vivid and bright, and the reason the plant collected its silverware in the first place.
The high
Happy and relaxed, with an appetite that follows close behind, so keep something to hand for afterwards. Mostly sativa in structure, but the effect settles into an easy, agreeable comfort rather than a race. A sociable, good-humoured turn, with the hunger being the one detail worth planning around.
Growing it
A feminized plant at 18 to 22% THC, with a listed 0.19% CBD. Flowering runs 56 to 70 days, roughly eight to ten weeks. Height reaches around 150cm in a mostly sativa structure, so give her the headroom, though she carries enough resilience for indoor, outdoor or greenhouse cultivation. Yields are modest at 305 to 397 g/m², which is the honest trade for the flavour and the pedigree. Grow her for the nose, not the weight, and she will not disappoint on that count.
