How to grow Sandstorm
Seb's take
Two landraces meet here — a pure Pakistani indica and a Moroccan hashish-lineage cousin, generations in the making before either saw a breeder's hand. She is slow to finish and demands patience in veg, but the reward is resin enough to gum up your scissors. A heavy, high-strength indica through and through.
Where it comes from
A meeting of two landraces, this, a pure Pakistani indica crossed with a rare Moroccan line long used to produce hashish. Both were generations in the making before any breeder laid a hand on them, shaped by geography rather than a lab, and CannaBioGen have simply brought the two hash-country traditions together. The Pakistani side lends the density, the Moroccan the resin and the pedigree. As pure an indica heritage as one is likely to find.
Nose & flavour
The record declines to catalogue the nose in detail, so I will not invent one. Given the parentage, though, two hashish landraces of long standing, one would expect the deep, resinous, spiced character that hash-making stock is prized for. I will keep to what the page gives and leave it there: an old-world indica scent, and a heavy one by all the surrounding evidence.
The high
The record is spare on specifics, but the constitution tells the tale, a 100% indica of high strength, drawn from two heavy hashish landraces. That points firmly to a weighty, sedating settle rather than any sort of lift, the kind that draws you steadily towards the armchair. I will not embellish past the page: a deep, quiet indica, and plainly a potent one.
Growing it
A grow for the patient. She is a slow developer, wanting a minimum of thirty days in veg before she will reward you with a substantial harvest, and she flowers across 55 to 65 days after that. The trade for the wait is resin, and a great deal of it, she produces enough to demand your finest trimming scissors, so keep them clean and sharp. The record leaves the dimensions and yield unstated, and the potency simply as high, so I will not put numbers where it declines to. A resinous, old-world indica for a grower in no hurry.
