How to grow The Church
Taste
Seb's take
A Swiss strawberry sativa called Erdbeer crossed onto Super Skunk and Northern Lights by Dutch breeders, sticky and dense with a hint of purple through the orange hairs. Sweet, spice and sour on the nose; the high is social, relaxed and euphoric, resilient across a wide range of growing conditions.
Where it comes from
Green House trace The Church to a Swiss sativa called Erdbeer — Strawberry, in German — crossed by Dutch breeders onto Super Skunk and Northern Lights. Two heavyweight names lend the potency and the structure; the Swiss strawberry side brings something sweeter and more particular. Sixty percent indica in the balance. The buds come dense and sticky, light green with orange hairs and a faint tinge of purple. A well-composed hybrid with an unusual berry in its background.
Nose & flavour
The nose is sweet with a spiced edge and a sour lift — the Erdbeer strawberry showing through the Skunk pungency. Rich and layered, more confectionery than fuel, the sourness keeping the sweetness sharp. Sweet leads, spice grounds it, sour brightens. A characterful profile that gives away the strawberry sativa hiding in the lineage.
The high
At better than twenty percent THC the effect is a sociable, agreeable one — relaxed and euphoric, good company for a gathering rather than a quiet corner. The hybrid balance shows: lifted enough to stay lively, calm enough to stay comfortable. Cheerful, even-handed and dependable. Enough strength to be taken seriously, without ever tipping into the overwhelming.
Growing it
A generous, forgiving grow. Flowering is short at fifty-six days, and she resists mould, mildew and pests alike, thriving across a wide range of conditions. Height runs 100 to 150cm. The yield is the headline: up to 800 g/m², or nearer 700 by the breeder's own reckoning — heavy either way. Easy to manage and hard to disappoint. A dependable, high-output plant that forgives a less-than-perfect environment.
