This is a fragrant, uplifting
sativa that delivers quality harvests indoor & outdoor. Special
attention was devoted to making this variety a low-maintenance plant
that finishes by mid-October in northern climates. Flowering sets in
quickly with most plants sexing within one week of switching to 12/12.
Another positive feature is the fast and profuse resin production
during early flowering that rewards your efforts right from the start.
8 Miles High has proven to be very reliable under various environmental
stress factors such as abrupt changes in light and temperature. Plants
can therefore be moved from indoor and planted out with no adverse
effects. This strain is easy to grow and has no special requirements.
It has shown good mold resistance and grows well in soil with no extra
feeding, making it a good choice for growers with little experience or
not much time on their hands.
The
indica-type females have minimum branching, medium tall growth, and are
excellent for small spaces or cultivation in close rows. The
sativa-leaning pheno can be grown as a multi-stem plant or trained if
this is your preferred method of cultivation. It has longer branching
due to the extended internodes and exhibits great potential as a big
producer outdoor. For a sea of green set-up in hydro both phenos can be
used. In hydro we recommend pruning the bottom branches on the
sativa-leaning females so that all energy is focused on the long
central cola.
8
Miles High has a great calyx-to-leaf ratio and slim leaves that make
trimming the buds a quick job. Resiny bud production throughout the
plant from top to bottom guarantees a quality harvest. The aromatic
properties of this strain are delightfully diverse and feature the rare
trait of strawberry fragrance. During flowering a slight brush against
the plants releases a wonderful sweetness with an earthy undertone.
This delicate aroma is followed by the more dominant piney freshness.
As the plants mature you can also detect whiffs of a sweet lemonade
scent. Cured buds retain the piney-minty smell but, in addition, there
is a variety of delicious aromas ranging from strawberry, melon,
to hash-candy.**
The
smoke has a fresh minty taste and lingering sweetness to it. 8 Miles
High lifts off straight to the head and triggers a lot of cerebral
activity
with flashes of insights and long episodes of trippy visuals when you
close your eyes and switch to auto pilot. This is a functional daytime
smoke, or a wake-up call to keep you on your feet partying at night.
The uplifting, almost euphoric, effect sets in once you reach maximum
altitude. This energetic sativa glides back down smoothly and leaves an
expansive feeling behind.
