How to grow Fat Bastard
Taste
Seb's take
Old-school skunk under a fruity top note, from a lineage that includes Goldmember and Monkey Spunk — names Bond villains would envy. At 30-38% THC this is a sipping strain, not a session one: euphoric lift first, relaxed finish after. An autoflower with even Indica-Sativa balance and little patience required from the grower.
Where it comes from
An autoflower with an even Indica-Sativa split and a lineage that reads like a rejected Bond script: Goldmember and Monkey Spunk crossed onto Ruderalis by World Wide Cultivars. Beneath the names sits a serious modern high-THC cross, the Goldmember and Monkey Spunk lines bringing the fruity-skunk character and the strength, the Ruderalis the automatic habit. Bold genetics, cheerfully named, and rather more capable than the branding suggests.
Nose & flavour
Old-school skunk sits under a fruity top note, an odd, effective pairing that brings a bit of age to a modern high-THC profile. The skunk gives it grip; the fruit keeps it from turning stale. Bold rather than messy, and honest about the era it borrows from, whatever the names above it imply.
The high
Euphoric lift first, relaxed finish after, a two-part arc that begins in the head and ends in the shoulders. At 30 to 38 percent this is firmly a sipping strain, not a session one; approach as you would a staircase in the dark. Potent, but not one-dimensional with it, the balance keeping the experience broader than the number alone.
Growing it
An autoflower, so no light-cycle flip and little patience required, a full run finishes across 56 to 70 days. She reaches roughly 150cm and gives back 397 to 610 g/m², a fair spread that rewards a steady environment at the top end. Forgiving enough to make the ride feel smooth, which is a kindness at this strength. Clean your scissors at harvest; the resin at 30-plus percent will not trim itself.
