How to grow Serious 6
Taste
Seb's take
Six African and Canadian sativas combine in Serious 6 — best grown outdoors, since indoors she can turn temperamental under stress, expert growers only. Citrus, lemon, mango and tar on the nose, with pink pistils on half the crop turning purple by harvest. The high runs creative, focused and energetic throughout.
Where it comes from
Serious Seeds drew this one from African and Canadian genetics, a combination that grows tall and slender outdoors with full buds, few leaves and a particularly thick layer of crystals. Half the plants show pink pistils, and purple tends to creep into the flowers by the end of flowering. It is a plant with a distinctly wild streak in its heritage, and the breeder is candid that it grows best under natural light where that streak has room to behave.
Nose & flavour
Citrus and lemon lead, bright and sharp, with a tropical mango sweetness beneath and — the surprise of the set — a note of tar underneath the lot. The record calls the aroma unique and beyond comparison with other varieties, and that tar edge is a fair part of why. A profile that runs from the zesty to the almost savoury, and one that does not resemble much else on the shelf.
The high
Creative and focused throughout, with an energetic charge that keeps the whole experience on the front foot. It runs happy, with an aroused edge, and holds its clarity rather than tipping over into fog. This is daytime company — a lift that sharpens rather than settles, keeping the mind engaged and the body willing. The sort of high that gets things started rather than winding them down.
Growing it
A word of caution the breeder does not hide: flowering indoors is recommended for expert growers only, since a small share — 2 in 100 — can turn stress-sensitive to light and show hermaphroditic tendencies. Outdoors under natural light that trouble simply does not arise. Do not start seeds indoors before mid-April to avoid early flowering and revegging. Flowering runs 55 to 60 days for a generous 400 to 550 g/m², with THC listed only as high, so take that as unquantified. One for the seasoned hand, and best given the sky.
