How to grow Sweet Special F1 Fast version
Taste
Seb's take
Hog and Grapefruit sit somewhere back in the family tree, lending a sweet aroma closer to fruit jellies than to anything botanical. This fast version trades on hybrid vigour alone, producing big, resin-covered buds in a handful of weeks rather than the usual long wait.
Where it comes from
Sweet Seeds bill this as a fast version of Sweet Special, and the interesting genetics sit further back: Hog and Grapefruit both feature in the ancestry, an unlikely pair whose contribution is chiefly to the flavour. This edition trades on hybrid vigour and a shortened flowering time above all, keeping the aroma of the original while getting there faster. Indica-led at sixty percent, with enough sativa to keep it lively.
Nose & flavour
The nose leans firmly confectionery — a sweetness the breeder likens to boiled sweets or fruit jellies rather than anything botanical. Grapefruit sits somewhere behind it, lending a citrus lift, while the sweetness carries the front. A dessert of an aroma, and an inherited one at that.
The high
The record keeps quiet on the effect, and I won't fill the silence with guesswork. What the numbers say is enough to warrant respect — eighteen to twenty-three percent THC is no small figure — so approach as you would a staircase in the dark until you know its measure. The plant will tell you the rest.
Growing it
A fast version through and through: flowering in around forty-nine days, with big, resin-covered buds arriving in a handful of weeks rather than the usual long wait. Hybrid vigour drives the growth, so she comes up strong and even. Yields land between 400 and 550 g/m². No height is recorded, so I leave that blank rather than guess — but expect vigour to show in the frame as well as the pace.
