How to grow Morning Glory
Taste
Seb's take
Afghani and Hawaiian landraces crossed with Skunk #1, proper old-world stock, and it shows in the resilience. Forest fruits, citrus and a touch of sandalwood spice on the nose; the high runs cerebral, uplifting, energetic and social. Compact at around a metre, forgiving of enthusiasm, and fast to flower.
Where it comes from
Barney's Farm made this a three-way cross between Afghani and Hawaiian landraces and Skunk #1, proper old-world stock, and the resilience shows for it. Cross landrace strains and you get a strong, hardy plant that asks little; add Skunk #1, and the record calls the result a little gem. It comes out sixty per cent sativa, a fast-flowering hybrid well suited to inexperienced growers and any setup. The name catches the bright, morning-appropriate lift the genetics deliver.
Nose & flavour
A full spread: forest fruits, floral and citrus lead, with lemon, sandalwood and a spicy note filling in behind. It is a complex nose, the fruit and citrus brightness cut with the woody sandalwood and a touch of spice. There is real range to it, in keeping with the landrace parentage. Bright and fruity up front, warm and spiced underneath, a profile that rewards attention.
The high
The effect runs cerebral, uplifting, energetic and social, the sixty per cent sativa keeping the head bright and the mood outward-facing. This is company for the daytime and for company itself, the energy sustained and the mind engaged. No creeping heaviness, just a clean, sociable lift. A morning-and-afternoon sort of experience, exactly as the name would have you expect.
Growing it
She stays compact at around a metre, 90 to 100cm indoors and out, and forms many side branches that stack long, dense buds as harvest nears. Flowering is fast at 60 to 65 days, and the landrace toughness makes her forgiving of enthusiasm and suited to any setup, which is a boon for a newer grower. Yields land at 550 g/m², with THC noted at 20% and CBD around 1.1%. A hardy, quick, accessible plant with real aromatic range. Standard care sees her through comfortably.
