Wisconsin Flame

Wisconsin Genetics

Written by S.T.Oner, Cannabis Sativa vol.1

60% Sativa / 40% Indica

Genetics: Wisconsin landrace sativa (Kenosha) x Amsterdam Flame
THC: 22%

This 60/40 sativa-indica hybrid, produced by an unknown but very talented grower/breeder in Wisconsin, was created back in the heady days of 2006 and combines genetics from a landrace sativa, native to Wisconsin, and the indica-dominant Amsterdam Flame from Holland’s Paradise Seeds.

A plant for more experienced growers rather than novice cultivators, Wisconsin Flame grows best indoors in soil or hydro setups, particularly deep water culture grow ops, in which it enjoys a longer vegetative period and gives absolutely huge plants. Reaching a height of 5 to 6 feet, it is not suitable for ScrOG growing, but will flourish well if cuttings are vegetated for 2 to 3 weeks then flowered into full size plants. Humidity in the dark period should be lower than 50% to help prevent rot, and as it takes longer to ripen than many strains, microdeficiencies can be common. To combat this, provide a well balanced mix of absorbable nutrients, then flush during the last 10 days of flowering with 1/2 teaspoon of molasses per gallon of water. The resulting yield will be heavy and clean.

Due to the fairly balanced nature of this plant’s genetics, the smoke gives a high that affects both the head and the body, and relaxes both. The smoke is deliciously mango-like and fresh; this is one to sit down with and enjoy properly!
