Beasty by T.H. Seeds

Garlic, petrol and chem funk from a plant that pours out resin: the name is fair warning.

T.H. Seeds built it on Gemelo, a GMO, Pomelo and Gelatti Kushmints hybrid the breeder rates for heavy production, dense buds, Kush gas and fat resin heads, then brought in Pure Afghan for extra punch. The pairing is aimed squarely at collectors of savoury, gassy flowers and at hash makers.

The breeder's notes run from intense petrol and Chemdog to cookies, with the GMO side adding garlic, mushroom and onion.

This one belongs to the end of the day: the breeder describes heavy couch lock and recommends it for sleep. Medical users report it for evening pain relief and rest.

Despite a 65% sativa split it grows tall and sparse, with good internode spacing, few leaves and about three weeks of stretch once flowering begins, reaching 110 to 160 cm. The breeder gives 9 to 10 weeks of bloom and 550 to 650 g/m², tops it once or twice to widen the canopy, and rates it well for hash. The buds are dense, sticky and easy to trim, and the breeder says the gassy nose peaks after a slow dry of 10 to 14 days and a further ten days in the jar. Growers report good resistance to mould and pests.

Since 1993 T.H. Seeds has worked out of Amsterdam, growing from the C.I.A. information centre into what Robert C. Clarke called Europe's first seed shop.
