Mother's Finest

Breeder: Sensi Seeds Location: indoor / outdoor Type: Sativa dominant (70%) Flowering: 50-70 days Height: 140-160 cm Yield: 120 grams

Another incredible hybrid with roots in the Jack Herer breeding program, this next-generation Sativa is one of Sensi's more recent creations. Upon release, Mother's Finest was an instant hit, winning first place for Sativa at the 2002 Cannabis Cup just a few months later. Mother's Finest is more a Hazey offshoot of the Herer line than a direct Jack-descendant. However, just like Jack Flash, Mother's Finest is best understood as a purposeful fine-tuning of Jack Herer’s multi-faceted gene pool.

Jack Herer sits right on the cusp of the Sativa-Indica divide, Jack Flash is a Skunk-heavy variant and Mother's Finest with her sweet-sour flavor rush and ecstatic cerebral high represents the Haze-dominant side of the family.

Naturally, the most Sativa-leaning examples of Mother's Finest will require the full flowering time, though this is still a considerably shorter period than comparable Haze hybrids. Mother's Finest gains height quickly when blooming, so growers with limited upward space should flower early. Like other mostly-Sativa hybrids, this strain can be put into 12/12 as rooted clones or small seedlings.

The divine sight and smell of Mother's Finest in full flower will delight any lover of cannabis, right up to the most dedicated Sativa worshiper. Her conical bud formation takes shape early in flowering as profuse sprays of long-haired calyxes sprint along the stem and branches to join up the clusters at each internode. In later weeks, the spear-shaped colas expand into impressive lime green stalactites of crystal-smothered bud. As her pistils darken, the calyxes of Mother's Finest swell and harden, maximizing the surface area available for resin glands to multiply. Some phenotypes display extra-vigorous production, forcing calyxes into miniature peaks at the top and sides of large buds, giving the main colas a wickedly horned look. Elements of musky, fruity skunk and earthy Afghanica are clearly detectable beneath the sharp pine-Haze aroma of Mother's Finest buds.

Shorter flowering times and heavier yields than other traditional Sativa strains make this an absolute must for any real sativa lover. Mother's Finest has a wonderfully sweet, pungent fruity taste and smell and delivers the finest uplifting cerebral high with a delightfully giggly edge.
