How to grow Ricky Bobby
Taste
Seb's take
Named, one assumes without irony, for a man who insisted on going fast — Ricky Bobby settles you down rather more than he ever did. San Fernando OG and Blue Dream underneath, apple and earthy sweetness on the nose beneath diesel and peanut-butter-cookie funk. The high is happy and euphoric first, relaxed after, at 18-25% THC.
Where it comes from
Named, one assumes without irony, for a man whose entire creed was going fast — though this settles you down rather more than he ever managed. Beneath the joke sits a serious pairing from World Wide Cultivars: San Fernando Valley OG Kush crossed with Blue Dream, two heavyweights of the west-coast catalogue. The SFV OG lends its dense, pungent power, Blue Dream its berry lift and reliable structure. A balanced 50/50 built on thoroughly proven stock.
Nose & flavour
The record gives a busy nose. Apple and earthy sweetness lead — bright fruit over a warm base — but behind them sits a louder, funkier background the notes are candid about: diesel, sour lemon, even a peanut-butter-cookie note. So the fruit is the greeting and the funk is the follow-through. A layered, slightly unruly profile that keeps you guessing, and rather more characterful than the sweet top note first suggests.
The high
The effect opens with a happy lift and eases into a smoother, relaxing finish — versatile enough for company or a quieter evening, in the record's framing. Happy and euphoric first, relaxed after. At a wide 18–25% THC the upper end asks for respect, so approach it as you would a staircase in the dark, but the character itself is even-handed and good-natured.
Growing it
A medium plant at roughly 150cm, flowering over 56 to 63 days, with a notably heavy yield — the record puts it at roughly 640 to 765 g/m², which is a serious return by any measure. The structure is reliable and the potency considerable at 18–25% THC. Nothing about her is described as temperamental; she gives back generously for sensible handling. A productive, well-built hybrid for a grower with the space to let that yield materialise, and the patience to trim it.
