How to grow Medusa
Taste
Seb's take
Bred from Nirvana's well-regarded Misty, Medusa lives up to the name in one specific respect — she has an established habit of turning people to stone. Earthy, pungent sweetness with berry and wood on the nose; the high is relaxed, happy and euphoric, dizzying enough to leave the eyes dry. What she lacks in yield she makes up for in potency.
Where it comes from
Bred from Nirvana's well-regarded Misty, and living up to the name in one specific respect — she has an established habit of turning people to stone. It is a considered piece of breeding, Misty selected and worked into an excellent indoor plant that delivers quality over quantity. The record is candid: what she lacks in yield she more than makes up for in smell, flavour and potency.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and pungent, sweetened through, with berry and wood filling out the base — a full, savoury indica nose rather than a bright one. The sweetness and the fruit keep it from turning too heavy, but the earth and the pungency are firmly in charge. A characterful aroma that punches above her modest harvest.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, and dizzying enough to leave the eyes dry — a heavy indica effect that lives up to the mythological billing. It is a powerful, cerebral sort of stone that settles hard once it arrives. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark, and keep the evening clear.
Growing it
An indoor specialist. Flowering runs 63 to 77 days, with the record noting a bloom of eight to ten weeks under high-power lighting, and yields land between 400 and 500 g/m². THC is recorded at 14 percent. Height is not given, so I will not invent one. She grows best indoors, and prefers cooler climates when taken outside. Modest on yield by her makers' own admission, but generous where it counts — smell, flavour and strength.
