How to grow Vanilla Kush
Seb's take
Afghani Kush and Kashmir combine for a nose of vanilla, lavender and sweet earth. The high moves from an uplifted, euphoric start into something happy and eventually properly sleepy — the sitting-down sort. She took second place at the 2009 High Times Cannabis Cup, a fine result for a runner-up.
Growing Vanilla Kush: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
Flowering runs the standard 8 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 100 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 600 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.
Breeder figures put THC around 22% — firmly in the strong band. The number speaks for itself; we'll not add adjectives to it.
Sweetness leads on the nose, and she doesn't whisper it.
The dominant note in the reviews is uplifting; daytime company, by most accounts.
