Seb's take
White Russian crossed with Ruderalis for a hardy autoflower with a genuine cherry-tart character — sweet, earthy and berry-laden, with a golden cherry aftertaste that lingers. The high is relaxed, focused and creative, indica-dominant but not overbearing with it. Easy to grow and easier still to hide among other plants.
Where it comes from
An autoflowering take on the original White Russian, made by crossing that strain with ruderalis. The pairing hands down an unusually high THC level alongside real resistance to disease and rough weather, which is rather the point of bringing ruderalis into any line. What you get is a compact, hardy plant with the White Russian character preserved and its temperament considerably improved. A dependable choice for the novice grower, and forgiving of the sort of mistakes a first season tends to produce.
Nose & flavour
The standout is a genuine cherry-tart character, sweet and fruity, with berry and candy notes and an earthy floor beneath. A mouth-watering combination of fruity and floral terpenes leaves a golden cherry aftertaste sitting on the tongue well after the exhale. It pairs, by the record's own account, rather well with fruity coffees and juices. A distinctive nose, and an unusually pretty one for a plant this rugged.
The high
Indica-dominant, yet not the least bit overbearing about it. The effect runs relaxed, focused and creative, which is a more useful combination than the genetics might suggest. It settles the body without fogging the mind, leaving enough clarity to actually do something with the calm. An agreeable, workable sort of high, and one that keeps better company with a task than most 70 percent indicas manage.
Growing it
A compact autoflower at 60 to 80cm, which makes her easy to tuck away and easier still to camouflage among other plants, as the record notes. She finishes in a brisk 56 days and returns a solid 400 to 500 g/m² indoors. The genetics are 70 percent indica, 30 percent sativa, with THC at 20 percent. Resistant to disease and adverse weather, she does well both indoors and out, and asks very little of whoever is minding her. A tidy, low-drama plant for a first grow.
