How to grow Cloud Walker
Taste
Seb's take
Punta Roja and Mendo Breath give this one a 70/30 sativa lean, tall and reaching by nature but weighted down with dense, resin-rich, often vividly coloured buds. Vanilla, sweet pineapple on the nose; the high is uplifting and euphoric before a relaxed, grounded finish. A name that suits the arc rather well.
Where it comes from
Green House Seeds crossed Punta Roja, a Colombian red, with Mendo Breath, landing at 70% sativa. The Punta Roja side pushes the height and the stretch and lends the vivid colouring, while the Mendo Breath side adds density to the flowers and warmth to the later stages of the high. A name that suits the arc of the thing rather well, as it happens.
Nose & flavour
Vanilla and sweetness up front, with pineapple lifting the top of it, a soft, dessert-leaning aroma rather than anything sharp. The Mendo Breath side shows in the creamy note. It is an inviting, rounded profile, and the resin-rich buds carry it well right through to the striking colours they take on late in flower.
The high
Exploratory at first, in the record's phrasing, uplifting and euphoric as the sativa dominance takes the lead, before the indica influence guides the landing into something relaxed and grounded. A high with a genuine shape to it, then, rising then settling, which is where the plant gets its name. Good for an evening that starts busy and ends still.
Growing it
A feminized plant at 25.9% THC, with a listed 0.6% CBD, so a strong one, worth approaching as you would a staircase in the dark. Flowering runs 63 to 70 days, roughly nine to ten weeks. Height is considerable, 170 to 200cm, so give her the headroom the sativa side demands. The record lists the yield per plant rather than per square metre, at 601 g/plant, and the buds come compact, resin-rich and often vividly coloured toward the end. A tall, handsome, generous plant for the grower with the space.
