Spain’s Sweet Seeds pride themselves on the quality of their products and the way they make growing accessible to people of any budget; they sell seeds in packs of 3 and 5 as well as 10, so if you’ve only got a few bucks to spare then you’re not out of the game! They love to breed great lasting strains, and Psicodelicia (see-ko-del-ee-see-ah), which means psychedelic in Spanish, is not only tasty, but trippy to boot. Having got hold of a cutting of a mysterious crossbred plant from the U.S., the breeders at Sweet Seeds decided to mate this with a landrace sativa from the heart of Nepal that has an amazing aroma of ground coffee. The landrace genetics made the already great U.S. cutting go nice and wild, with hugely increased vigor and tolerance with a larger harvest at the end of it all.
Grown from clone, Psicodelicia roots fully in about a week thanks to the landrace genetics. From seed the strain loses none of this vitality and can reach 10 inches within just a few days if it’s given plenty of light. However, remember to keep the lights close to the seedling at all times, or they will stretch rather than grow properly formed, and that will result in a leggy plant that’s difficult to tend to. As a heavy sativa dominant strain, this plant will grow tall, but after a fairly short vegetative stage it should fill out well in the flowering stage and use all the space you’ve given it. It adapts well to different environments and resists both pests and diseases as well as stress. You shouldn’t need to use fertilizer as long as the soil is of good quality.
During the last two weeks of flowering the buds will suddenly become wrapped in resin that will make it very difficult to wait until they properly mature. If you’re growing this strain in a grow room, your plants will be finished in about 9 weeks and if you’ve treated them well, they will give you a harvest of around 500 grams per square yard of grow room. The landrace genetics make the plants go crazy outdoors, so in this instance you should be able to harvest 700 grams per plant at the end of September. You’ll be a popular cat all the way through the fall with a stash like that.
As the name might suggest, Psicodelicia is a very sativa-like high. It’s almost entirely cerebral with a little body tingle, but you won’t even notice what your legs are doing because your head will be on another planet, unable to recognize its surroundings and making futile attempts to form words that the creatures around it can understand.
