Type and Genetics
Stromboli by Paradise Seeds has wild ancestors, originating from Afghanistan, that merged with a sativa-dominant phenotype from the famous Gorilla Glue (GG4) to create this strain.
Its sativa or indica factor will depend on the phenotype that germinates, as indicated by Paradise Seeds. Thus, individuals with the same genetic profile can develop in one way or another.
Growth
Stromboli Auto by Paradise Seeds is a strain intended for growers seeking a compact and controllable plant. Indoors, it won't exceed 100cm, being the right choice for places with limited space. The good news is that, thanks to its growth speed, 2 to 4 harvests can be yielded per year in outdoor plantations under plastic, with good weather conditions.
Aroma and Flavor
Stromboli's Aromas are complex and delicate, with detectable piney fragrance supplemented by fresh fruits. The sweet yet somewhat acidic flavor, with wild hints on the tongue and a slight aftertaste of pepper, give this autoflowering strain a unique character.
Effect
Given the potential to develop towards the indica or the sativa side, the effects of Paradise Seeds' Stromboli can vary depending on the phenotype. The sativa phenotypes are fantastic for an energy boost, to foster creativity and for leisure activities. The indica ones are perfect for resting, relaxation and enjoying in company.
Yield
The speed of autoflowering strains like Stromboli allows the harvest to be collected in just 10-11 weeks. After this period, they'll be ready for harvesting and transferring to the drying room, where their huge resin crystals can be admired more directly.
Flowering Indoors
With the necessary care, Stromboli starts flowering at five weeks, creating a bushy, short plant that branches to the sides. This strain can yield up to 550g/m2 in indoor cultivation.
Flowering Outdoors
Stromboli is designed for places with reduced spaces, but it can also grow outdoors, where its rapid growth allows for multiple harvests under the summer sun. When it's time to harvest outdoors, growers can expect up to 150g per plant.
Sativa/Indica Percentage
50% sativa — 50% indica
Cannabinoids
20% — 24% THC
La Huerta's Opinion
This plant has the capability to produce good buds, large and compact. However, these buds might be susceptible to fungus, so it's necessary to be mindful of potential increases in humidity. As it tends to branch more laterally, this plant is suitable for small cultivation using the SCROG or SOG technique.
