Seb's take
A strain minor enough in its own right to have made cannabis history sideways — Jean Guy featured in the first ever cannabis advertisement to run in the New York Times. Citrus lemon and sweet pungency lead the nose; thick lateral branches carry heavy colas into a happy, talkative, energetic high. Quietly historic, and none the worse for it.
Where it comes from
House of the Great Gardener keep the parentage to themselves here; the record names no forebears, so I shall not guess at them. What it does record is a small footnote in cannabis history: Jean Guy featured in the first ever cannabis advertisement to run in the New York Times. Quietly historic, then, whatever her lineage. Some plants earn their place sideways.
Nose & flavour
Citrus and lemon lead, bright and clean, with a sweet edge and an earthy, pungent base beneath. A zesty nose with enough grounding to keep it serious. It does not travel discreetly. Fresh and lively, in the way the effects would suggest.
The high
Happy, uplifted and euphoric, energetic enough to keep you talkative and engaged, a sociable, forward sort of high. At twenty-five per cent THC there is real strength behind the cheer, so a measured hand serves best. Bright company for the daytime, provided you pace yourself.
Growing it
She grows quickly, throwing out thick lateral branches that carry heavy colas, a sturdy, productive structure that makes good use of its vigour. Flowering runs to around seventy days. No yield or height figure is recorded, so let the branching guide your spacing and support the colas as they fill. A robust plant, undemanding for the weight it produces. Train the laterals early and she rewards the effort.
