How to grow Honey Rock
Seb's take
Super Widow crossed with Swazi Poison, named for a honeyed taste over buds hard enough to live up to the other half. The effect is a proper knockout, couch-locked and firmly the sitting-down sort — evening territory only. Dense, frosted and easy enough to grow, ready in around nine weeks.
Where it comes from
Sumo Seeds crossed Super Widow with Swazi Poison — a White Widow descendant paired with a South African sativa — and the record is candid about how she got her name: a honeyed taste over buds hard enough to live up to the rock. Sixty per cent indica, and the indica plainly runs the show. A blunt name for a blunt plant, and no false modesty about either half.
Nose & flavour
The record leans on one note above all — honey — carried on buds dense and hard enough to earn the second half of her name. A sweet, resinous nose from a plant built around its trichomes rather than its subtlety. What she lacks in listed complexity she makes up in sheer frosted presence.
The high
A proper knockout, by the record's own account — couch-locked and firmly the sitting-down sort, this is not a strain for the daylight hours. It keeps you settled all evening and asks nothing of you in return. You will not be needed elsewhere.
Growing it
Ready indoors in eight to nine weeks, though the record advises holding for the full nine to draw out her potential; outdoors, trimming begins in early October. She stays compact at 80 to 100cm with a high flower-to-leaf ratio, which makes for tidy, dense, heavily frosted buds and an easy trim. Yields run 450 to 575 g/m². Potency the record simply calls high. Stable and easy to grow — a good deal of reward for not much fuss.
