How to grow Kilimanjaro
Seb's take
A Kenyan landrace known locally as the elephant flattener, used historically for both ceremony and the hunt, a nickname that undersells nothing. Sweet, earthy citrus on the nose ahead of a happy, euphoric, calming high. Left outdoors she can top 2.5 metres, so give her the headroom.
Growing Kilimanjaro: what to expect
Feminized, so you'll not be sexing plants or evicting males. Photoperiod, so veg lasts exactly as long as you decide — see the vegetative stage on how long that ought to be.
Expect around 10 weeks in flower — textbook timing. Textbooks, for once, being useful: here's ours.
Tall, at 250 cm or better. Indoors that means training from early on; outdoors it means picking a spot the neighbours can't see over.
She produces respectably: 400 g/m² or thereabouts when treated well. Consistency is her selling point — feed her properly and she keeps her end of the bargain.
THC tests around 19%, which is strong by any sensible chart. Respect it accordingly.
Sweetness leads on the nose, and she doesn't whisper it.
Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
