Right about now, you'll be wondering what exactly are F1 Fast Version strains? Well, these strains used to be known in English as "earlys" and were 1st generation light-dependent, regular strains crossed with pure Ruderalis. They were first launched 25 years ago by one of the first seed banks though nobody paid them much attention and they went almost unnoticed owing to their poor quality particularly their low cannabinoid content and their inferior taste and smell. Delicious Seeds has given these strains a new lease of life by using today's automatics which have improved greatly over the last few years especially in terms of their organoleptic characteristics. These F1 Fast Version strains are the result of crossing an F4 automatic with either light-dependent feminised or regular (it makes no difference) strains from Delicious Seeds’ catalogue. This shortens the flowering time while strengthening and accelerating the vegetative growth stage with respect to normal strains, making these super fast plants that reach the end of their life cycle in just 8 weeks. Ideal for an indoor winter crop or during the normal season in zones where the autumn tends to arrive very early to avoid the bad weather that can ruin our harvests.
To develop Delicious Candy, Delicious Seeds’ team crossed two of the best commercial genetics: Cheese, a unique female derived from Skunk x Kush which first appeared 1988-89 and which was cultivated somewhere in the Chiltern Hills by the squatter collective known as Exodus that was central to UK cannabis-related activity throughout the 90s. Its other parent is Caramelo, which is a spectacular selection of the best exotic Lavender Indica and Sativa phenotypes (Super Skunk – Big Skunk Korean – Afghani - Hawaiian). The result is an explosive strain on a number of different levels. The plants produce large branches with a large quantity of lateral shoots laden with buds. The calyx/leaf ratio is very good, making it very easy to manicure as well as keeping the buds better ventilated than other indicas with more foliage which means that it’s also more resistant to fungal diseases. The buds are covered in thousands of large glandular trichomes filled with a unique sweet cheese fragrance.
The taste has an acrid backnote, like yeast or cheese, with hints of liquorice and caramel. Delicious Candy will transport you to an initial euphoric state without being too cerebral which, as the minutes pass, will become very relaxing and pleasurable. It’s very suitable for prolonged medicinal usage as its effect will enable you to get stuff done during the day although it might be a bit too narcotic for nighttime use or for states of relaxation.
