Skywalker Seeds from Dutch Passion

Nice potency. Nice flavor. Coucklocky. You can really end the day smoking this gear. I grew from seed, but there is a bit of variability making this good to pick a mother from. I had one that had exceptional fruity flavor.

100% germination. All seedlings were healthy, uniform and vigorous. I flow …continued

I grew Skywalker from seed in an organic soiless mix. Very uniform and vigorous growth from all plants. Very dense and bushy with many branches. Some leaf blades were as wide as my hand. Flowering brought some variations. I had an exact 50/50 ratio of males to females but one female grew one or two …continued

Skywalker is a Dutch Passion strain derived from crossing one of the most potent Sativa/Indica hybrids I have ever smoked (Mazar), and the tastiest Indica I have ever smoked (Blueberry). The seeds came direct from the “Seeds of Passion” on the Utrechtstraat in A’dam.

First, and foremost: I would suggest that new growers do not attempt to start on these genetics.. The plant went “hermie,” or hermaphroditic around 40 days of flowering. I was forced to pick pollen sacs out of the buds on a regular basis until I harvested it 26 days later. This created a small number of seeds, however I was shooting for sensimillia. My inexperience, combined with the misfortune of a hermaphrodite, led to a smaller yield than this plant will produce under ideal circumstances. An experienced grower could easily double my yield of 83 grams/plant!

Due to Skywalker’s mostly indica heritage, height won’t be a problem for most growers. But this strain, with the proper topping/FIMing/Training, is an ideal one for microgrowers!

As you can see in the photos, I had trained the plant using LST. (Low Stress Training, or tying it down.) I had minimal vertical space, and didn’t want a plant that grew too tall. To assist in this, I topped the plant around 20 days into the vegetative cycle at the 4th node, to allow for her “arms” to reach the same height as the main-stem cola. As you can see, it worked wonders.

Unlike most growers I used Compact Fluorescent (CF) lighting, as opposed to HID (MH/HPS). Many growers will tell you that CF’s are far less effective than HID’s, however this grower was concerned my about the stealth/security of the grow rather than the efficiency. Even so, the plant thickened up quite nicely, producing nice round buds. The largest was seven inches tall and 4 inches wide (about 21 grams).

As the plant matured, it produced white pistils that would change colors to variable pink and purplish hues. Even further along, they turned a dark red-orange. I must say, this is the “hairiest” cannabis I have ever seen! In addition to that, this plant carries a great potential for creating “bag-appeal” from cold temperatures. Near the cool-air intake, the leaves and stems turned purple. Cold nighttime temperatures late in flowering would definitely enhance the beauty of this already gorgeous strain!

The odor was almost non-existent, in the traditionally skunky-sense. No smell during the vegetative cycle unless you rubbed the leaves. In flowering, it had more of a pungent, earthy odor that was easily taken care of with proper carbon filtration of the exhaust.

I harvested this plant using a 100x loupe microscope to view the trichome colors. 10% amber, 70% cloudy, 20% almost clear. This harvest timing allows for a very heady high that settles into a solid couch-lock feeling over time. It works great for muscle pain and migraines, while allowing you to have a high thought count at the same time! I could sum it all up in one sentence: Perfect for the med-user that still wants the feeling of a high-quality sativa high. The taste of the smoke is just like the smell, earthy, but it finishes with a fruity/solventy aftertaste. A seasoned smoker could easily make a Friday night feel like a Saturday morning with a few tokes of these buds! (If you catch my drift.)

“My back pain feels better, I’m hungry, I wonder how many people have farted while I was talking to them?” – A sentence uttered by me about 15 minutes after toking my first sample.

All in all, a very beautiful, temper mental strain. A VERY potent and balanced high. I suggest this strain to anyone and everyone with a bit of experience growing under their belt!

OK I’ve Been Growing Skywalker Since November and Been Smoking it Sinse January and the thing that I like about Skywalker is I still get fucking Stoned off of 3 or 4 hits even after smoking it for 6 months now and I’d Say I have a Really high tolerance.

I Mainly Grew 2 Phenos of Skywalker the lem …continued

I am so impressed by this plant…my report is fashioned off my experience with this wonderful strain so far, and tasting/watching my friend’s ,whom I was given this wonderful lady through, finished product…we all luv it… they tried CB-4, Green Spirit, and Skywalker..they had SAGE but killed it ; …continued

Let me just begin by saying that *nothing* this strain provided could justify the price tag. That isn’t to say that the results weren’t good, but anyone looking for ‘the best bud’ should look elsewhere.

I germinated four seeds (all popped after 48 hours or so under moist paper towels) and vegged …continued

Cuttings rooted extremely quickly in rockwool and when transferred into the main setup settled in impeccably.
The skywalker grew rampantly from day one; to bare monstrous buds. Massive main colas (up to 35g when dried!) with side branches a little smaller but still as bouffe as a frothy meringue. …continued
