Mother’s Finest
MOTHER’S FINEST STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
Genetics: Unknown hybrid containing Jack Herer, Haze, and an unknown Indica supposedly related to Juicy Fruit
Geographic Origin: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Seed Company/Clone: Sensi Seeds
Description: Released to high acclaim, Mother’s Finest is a very Hazey and Sativa-dominant strain effect, smell, and taste-wise, but still manages a short flowering time thanks to the addition of a secret unknown Indica with “maple leaf” traits. The taste and smell seem to model themselves after the Jack Herer and/or Haze in most cases, giving off a spicy and lemony bouquet.
History
Story:
Awards: 1st Place 2002 High Times Cannabis Cup – Sativa Category
Growing Information
Flowering Time: Depends on phenotype, most are between 60 and 65 days, but some Haze-dominant phenos can stretch out into the 90 day range. Jack Herer-dominant phenotypes tend to be in the 75 day range.
Preferred Growing Medium: Most phenotypes of this strain get rather tall and show Haze-dominant growth structure yet finish in a reasonable amount of time. There are some Indica-dominant phenos that work well for SOG, but otherwise this is more of a SCROG type plant that responds reasonably well to training.
Patient Expectations
Scent: Mentholated citrus and pine with a spicy lean, very much like Jack Herer itself.
Flavor: Much like the smell, it’s a citrus-dominant Haze taste with some spicy pine elements and a mentholated, cool quality.
Effects: Very cerebral and spacey, this strain definitely calls upon its Haze lineage with its effects package. Uplifting and somewhat energetic, it is a powerful strain that doesn’t leave mental processes unscathed — some distraction and spacing out is inevitable with this one. Lots of face and eye pressure occurs with this strain as well, making it appropriate for those suffering from ocular issues. Once the cerebral Sativa start died down, it got slightly relaxing and more sedate towards the end, uplifting mood and making for a smooth ride back to a normal state.

Preferred Growing Medium:
Patient Expectations
Scent: Uncanny, amazingly sweet grape Kool-Aid aroma that surpasses almost any of the Purple grape varieties
Flavor: Very sweet and enduring grape flavor that almost matches the smell, with a thick, expansive smoke
Effects: A fast starter, this strain hits the eyes and body very strongly, providing a sense of warmth and relaxation immediately. Almost disorienting, it leaves the user tied to a sitting position simply from its power. Major mood elevation follows quickly, melting away the problems of the day while the warm body effects help to sooth tense muscles.

Purple Voodoo
PURPLE VOODOO STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Hybrid
Genetics: Double Purple Doja x Urkle x Purple Cheese
Geographic Origin: California, USA
Seed Company/Clone: California Bean Bank
Description: A slow vegging plant due to the Urkle influence, it often finishes a deep shade of purple, but many plants finish as a very dark green. At times a good yielder, there is a lot of variation in phenotypes, so it required diligent selection to find a real winner.

Flowering Time: 65-70 days
Preferred Growing Medium:
Patient Expectations
Scent: Sweet and incense-heavy, it also has hashy/earthy elements that come out to varying degrees.
Flavor: Spicy, sweet, and pungent in its ideal form, at times it’s simply earthy with a hint of incense.
Effects: Not like a normal Purple strain in that the Sativa effects take the edge off of the normally narcotic effects. To start, it actually feels rather Sativa in nature, starting strongly with a package of head pressure fluctuations and a slightly excited, floaty body. The second half gets more sedate and relaxing on a base level, trending towards couchlock and even aiding sleep at higher dosages and depending on context. Appetite stimulation was a big part of this strain, and it otherwise provided a solid hybrid relaxation, both mentally and physically.

Romulan x Chemo
ROMULAN x CHEMO STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Indica-dominant hybrid
Genetics: Romulan x Chemo
Geographic Origin: California and British Columbia
Seed Company/Clone: Federation Seeds
Description: Romulan is thought to be an Afghani-dominant strain, known for its peppery aroma and strong, narcotic effect. UBC Chemo was supposedly developed by the Canadian government for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments. The combination of the two strains produces a very potent hybrid with great medicinal value.
History
Story: Romulan came to British Columbia by way of Romulan Joe, a biker from California who was a key member of the “Trinity” grow scene in the 1970′s. He passed the clone on to Federation Seeds, who grew it out on Vancouver Island, eventually crossing it with White Rhino and back-crossing those plants to the original clone over many generations to produce seed stock. Chemo was thought to be developed by the Canadian government as an aid for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Awards:
Growing Information
Flowering Time: 8-9 weeks, letting it go longer increases potency
Preferred Growing Medium: Romulan x Chemo is a short, branchy plant with woody stems that takes on a bonsai-like appearance. Not suitable for SOG applications, it grows best as a bush and produces a medium yield of round, golfball-like nugs.
Patient Expectations
Scent: Piney and hashy
Flavor: Much like the smell, it’s a musky blend of pine and more earthy elements
Effects: Highly sedative and narcotic, this strain is very potent, with both strong mental and physical effects. The mental effects are mostly present early on, bringing on an internal energy and a cloudy mindstate. Once that passes, it turns into a near-complete couchlock experience, with a very warm body, loose muscles, and heavy, red eyes. This strain is very medicinal for patients who need a sleep aid, muscle relaxant, appetite stimulant, and minor pain relief.
