Sweet Mary… We are going to be straight to the point with our description of Sweetopia. The reason you will choose this exotic strain is if you are a connoisseur who places taste and aroma at the top of your wish list. Yes, this mostly indica plant is powerful (THC levels tip the scales at above 23%), yes it pumps resin as if its life depends on it and yes it is a good yielder. Nevertheless the quality that makes it stand proud is the smooth combination of fruit terpenes which bring all the zing of a fresh fruit salad into this extraordinarily tasty strain experience.
Lineage
Sweetopia is a combination of two premium indica strains. The first is a selected Citral which, is characterized by a citrusy profile but with a Kush hashiness. The second element in this cross is Thin Mint, a phenotype of the popular GSC (aka Girl Scout Cookies) which is known for its minty sweetness.
Aromas and Flavours
For those growers who love their terpenes, this is an exotic strain which will have the connoisseur’s nose twitching at its unique and extremely rich terpene profile. Expect the full spectrum of citrus scents to reveal themselves in the Sweetopia aroma. It’s incredibly intense and alive with the tangy scent of lemons, limes and clementines.
The taste is an intense experience of resinous Kush, but mixed with the sweetness of lemons and clementine oranges. It begins with a citrusy tingle on the tongue which stimulates the salivary glands and causes the mouth the water. However there are further flavor layers to explore – a hint of red berries and a resinous hashy earthiness, fused with waves of gassy diesel. This is a taste experience which lingers in the mouth, much to the delight of the flavor connoisseur.
Cultivation
Difficulty Level: Easy / Medium
Indoors:
This is an indica which does nearly all its growing in the veg stage and very little stretching once it hits flowering. Consequently growers should aim to fill the grow space as much as possible before switching to 12/12. A bit of pruning is recommended to cultivate big buds along main branches. The other tip is to be patient as this plant may seem ready before time, but letting it go the full 65 days will pay huge dividends unlocking the full potential of its terpenes and potency.
Outdoors:
Sweetopia is a medium sized plant which behaves very much like a traditional indica and will fulfil its potential in Mediterranean and dry heat climates. In cooler and more humid regions its short size and bushy structure means that attention to good air circulation is necessary.
Yield and Presentation
Growers will observe that this plant displays some interesting characteristics when it comes to the formation and development of its super dense buds. An initial white coat (formed by the abundancy of resin) turns into a beautiful color show as flowers mature. Wrapped in of reds, pinks, ambers and yellows, with streaks of violet, this multi-colored candy effect is crying out for its own Instagram profile.
Indoor Yield: 600g per m²
Outdoor Yield: 900g per plant
