How to grow Dark Phoenix
Taste
Seb's take
Trainwreck crossed with Jack Herer for a 60% Sativa hybrid that stimulates the mind while keeping the body notably steady. Pine, lemon and earth on the nose; the high is uplifting and creative, relaxed rather than restless. Vigorous in growth, with strong side branches — a daytime strain, built for productivity rather than the sofa.
Where it comes from
Trainwreck crossed with Jack Herer, two names with real standing, put together by Green House Seeds into a 60 percent sativa hybrid. The Jack Herer half lends the clear, creative head; the Trainwreck lends the vigour. The record describes a plant that stimulates the mind while keeping the body steady, which is the balance both parents are known for. A well-bred daytime sativa with a distinguished pair behind it.
Nose & flavour
Pine and lemon lead, sharp, fresh and resinous, over a plain earthy base that grounds them. It is a clean, bright nose in the classic Jack Herer mould rather than anything sweet or fuel-heavy. Zesty at the top, earthy underneath, and unmistakably sativa in character.
The high
Uplifting and creative, relaxed rather than restless: a productive head that keeps the body comfortable underneath. The record marks her plainly as a daytime strain, built for getting things done rather than settling into the sofa. At a listed 24.6 percent THC there is real strength behind the clarity, so pace the first session accordingly.
Growing it
A tall one: roughly 170 to 200cm, with vigorous early stretch and strong side branches that rise to meet the main cola. Give her the headroom she plainly intends to use. Flowering runs fifty-six to seventy days, around sixty-three, and she can return up to 700g per plant. THC is a strong 24.6 percent. The vigour is an asset if you can house it, so train early to keep the canopy in check and let those side branches carry their share.
