How to grow Excalibur
Taste
Seb's take
Amnesia crossed with Diesel, named for a blade that, like this strain's central cola, tends to dominate whatever surrounds it. Sweet and distinctly citrus on the nose, true to its Sativa lineage. Adaptable enough to grow in soil, coco, or hydro without preference.
Where it comes from
Eva Seeds crossed Amnesia with Diesel into a clearly sativa-dominant plant, and named it for a legendary blade — apt enough, since her huge central cola tends to dominate everything around it, much as the sword did its scabbard. The record names both parents plainly: Amnesia for the soaring sativa lift, Diesel for the fuel-edged backbone. A productive cross, indoors or out, and notable for a high THC share within its band.
Nose & flavour
The record describes a very sweet variety with a distinctive citrus smell, and I will leave the nose there rather than invent notes around it. Sweet and citrus-forward — bright and clean, true to the sativa lean of the lineage.
The high
No effect profile is recorded, and I will not guess at one. What the descent tells you is honest enough: a clearly sativa-dominant cross of Amnesia and Diesel, which points toward the bright, cerebral end of the spectrum rather than the armchair — but I will leave the particulars to the grower rather than overstate them.
Growing it
A manageable 80 to 100cm, flowering in 60 to 65 days for a generous 400 to 600 g/m². Her signature is that huge central bud, ringed by branches of very compact flowers — a striking structure that rewards a little support as she fills out. Adaptable to a fault: she will grow in soil, coco or hydroponics without preference, indoors or out. Productive and forgiving of the medium you choose, which makes her an easy plant to fit into whatever system you already run.
