How to grow Sweet Tai
Taste
Seb's take
Super Tai crossed with Early Skunk to shorten the flowering time without losing the compact, resinous structure suited to indoor growing — and the trophy case backs the pedigree, with wins across Argentina and Spain. Tropical fruit and sweet spice on the nose, and the high is properly active and cerebral, energetic rather than heavy.
Where it comes from
Sweet Seeds crossed Super Tai with Early Skunk, the second parent brought in to shorten the flowering and tighten the structure without costing the resin — sativa character on an indoor-friendly frame. The trophy cabinet backs the pedigree: prizes across Argentina and Spain in 2006 and 2008, indoor, outdoor and hydroponic alike. Sativa-led at seventy percent, but civilised enough by the Skunk to grow indoors without taking over the room.
Nose & flavour
Tropical fruit leads the nose, sweet and bright, with a spiced edge from the Skunk side keeping it grounded. An exotic profile that leans to the fruit basket rather than the fuel tank. Sweet and sharp in turn, and characterful throughout — the sativa side shows in the aroma as plainly as in the effect.
The high
The high is a properly active one — cerebral, energetic, and inclined to get you moving rather than settle you down. Happy and euphoric with it, the sort of daytime lift a seventy-percent sativa promises and this one delivers. At ten to eighteen percent THC it stays sociable rather than overwhelming. Company for doing things, not for winding down.
Growing it
The Early Skunk cross earns its place in the garden: it pulls the flowering in to around sixty-three days and keeps the structure compact enough for indoor rows, no small feat for a sativa this dominant. Yields sit between 350 and 450 g/m² — honest rather than heavy. No height is set down in the record, so I won't attach one, but the breeder's talk of a compact frame suits the indoor grower short on ceiling.
