Spain’s Eva Female Seeds are a popular seed company who specialize in producing feminized seeds of their fantastic original strains. One of these aforementioned strains is High Level, a fascinating and unique mix of some very different genetics. One parent plant was a cross of Skunk, the Brad Pitt of the strain world, and Haze, everyone’s favorite sativa, while the other parent was an interesting African sativa landrace plant from Lesotho, in South Africa.
Thanks to the landrace influence, this is a great choice for an outdoor grow, especially when planted in a straight up soil set up. As always, the quality of your local soil before you plant, and amend it as necessary to ensure the best quality base for your plants; do a bit of research on potential additives such as perlite, blood meal and sand and your plants will thank you for it.
High Level does not easily fall prey to pests, and has a very high resistance to mold, which is good news if you’re growing outdoors in a warmer climate. Whether you’re growing indoors or outdoors, these plants require plenty of feeding, and once you’ve flipped them into flowering period, they’ll be ravenous. Don’t leave them hungry and you’ll be rewarded with increased growth and, of course, increased yields. If you’re not feeding enough, the leaves will drop and your plants will look sad, so watch out for a depressed looking crop. For the purest sativa-type high available from this strain, the breeders recommend that you harvest when the hairs have mostly turned white, which should be after 8 weeks of bloom. If your High Level crop is outdoors, be ready to harvest in the middle of October. The yield is average to good, but with this strain, quality, not quantity is the main focus and when you’ve cured your buds and smoked it for the first time, you’ll see that the dedication to quality has definitely paid off.
If you’ve got a few friends who consider themselves to be the kings of cannabis and complain because the old killer strains like Herijuana just don’t get them high anymore, you might want to share a few bong hits of this sweet smelling bud with them; they’ll be left wide eyed and very quiet before too long. Behind those glassy eyes their minds will be going wild in a frenzied mess of hyperactivity, and their bodies will soon follow suit too.
