How to grow Wild Rose
Taste
Seb's take
Rosetta Stone crossed with Hog, an Indica/Sativa hybrid that gives away nothing for a month, then explains its whole argument in the last three weeks as the buds triple in size. Incense, fruit and citrus on the nose, with an uplifting, relaxed, euphoric high at 15-20% THC. Forgiving of enthusiasm, indoors especially.
Where it comes from
Sweet Seeds crossed Rosetta Stone with Hog to make this one, an Indian/sativa hybrid structure leaning sativa at 65% to 35% indica. The Hog side brings the heavier body; Rosetta Stone the lift and the shape. It is very well adapted to indoor cultivation, which is where its particular habit shows best — a plant that keeps its cards close for a month before showing its hand.
Nose & flavour
Incense leads, a resinous, faintly ceremonial note, with fruit and citrus brightening underneath. It is an aromatic, layered nose rather than a single-note one — the sweet fruit lifting the darker incense, citrus sharpening the finish. The scent builds as the buds fatten, which is late in this plant's case, so the room takes on the aroma most heavily in those closing weeks.
The high
Uplifting first, then relaxed, with a euphoric thread running the length of it — a bright, mood-forward experience that settles rather than sedates. The sativa lean keeps the head engaged while the Hog influence grounds the body enough to keep it comfortable. An agreeable, sociable sort of high, the kind that lifts the evening without deciding it for you. THC runs 15 to 20%.
Growing it
A feminized plant that gives away nothing for the first few weeks of bloom, then surprises you after the fourth week with explosive fattening — the buds can triple their size in the last three weeks, so patience is rewarded late rather than early. Flowering runs to 63 days, around nine weeks at a standard pace, yielding a solid 450 to 550 g/m². No height figure is logged, so I will not state one. Easy to cultivate, forgiving of enthusiasm — novice and initiated grower alike will be satisfied. THC 15 to 20%.
