Vanilla Sundae by T.H. Seeds

The breeder compares the nose to real Tahitian vanilla, and the flavour that follows is a lemon sundae with a hint of mint.

T.H. Seeds started from a Bay Area Birthday Cake cut, valued for creamy lemon cake flavour and sturdy side branching, and crossed it with a Banana Pudding F2 selection chosen for frame, strong branches and resistance to mildew and pests. The Banana Pudding plant was reversed to pollinate the Birthday Cake, so every seed in the pack is feminised.

Vanilla pod and sugar cane come first, then creamy lemon, a little banana candy and a cool trace of mint on the finish.

The breeder describes a mellow, enjoyable stone with a relaxing body effect and full flavour from first draw to last. Earlier breeder notes also report relief from everyday stress and minor aches.

A 60 percent sativa with a balanced frame, it stretches two to three times and shows real outdoor potential, with an October finish reported. Light foliage and good node spacing keep it simple to work, and the breeder suggests topping once or twice and a defoliation around weeks two to three of flower. Buds stay even in size from bottom to middle, dense and heavily frosted, yielding 500 to 600 g/m² in 8 to 9 weeks on plants of 120 to 160 cm.

T.H. Seeds has been breeding in Amsterdam since 1993; Robert C. Clarke described its forerunner, the C.I.A. information centre, as Europe's first seed shop.
