For our 5th anniversary we recreated our exotic, high-class indica-sativa hybrid “Yamuna” from the “Limited Collector’s
Edition”,
which was issued in our first year, and crossed it with our best Afghan
parent from seed stock collected in the 1980’s. The result is an
impressive stout plant oozing with resin that grows like an indica and
feels like a sativa. Ganesh is an excellent choice for closet
cultivation or a homebox due to it’s short stature and the even growth
pattern. Plants vegged for 3 weeks in soil reach a height of approx.
60cm when mature. To harvest a field of “baseball bat” type colas in
regular sized grow spaces we suggest vegging 4-5 weeks for organic
(soil) cultivation. Ganesh grows perfectly with little or no feeding in
quality soil. *
Our unique
combination of land race genetics injects a lot of vigour into this
strain and the thick shoots from mother plants provide quality cuttings
over an extended period. Due to the extreme
density
of the buds approx. 20-25% of the plants show some mold susceptibility
in the top third portion of the head bud in the last week of flowering.
Therefore, this strain is best grown in spaces with humidity control
(extraction fan, ventilation, night temp. above 20°C or 68F). You
should also water sparsely in the last week of flowering. Wait until
the plants have slightly droopy leaves and give them just enough for
their daily requirement. This is a tried and tested method for strains
with dense buds and very effective. A daily check of the top half or
top third portion of the head bud during this period lets you detect
mold early before it can cause any damage. Growing with clones, SCROG,
and pruned plants (indoor/outdoor) is not affected by a higher mold
susceptibility.
The
dense and crystalline buds have a rich, skunky smell that underlines
the top quality of the smoke.** A heavy-duty grinder is recommended for
these chunky buds! The taste evokes the times of the finest Himalayan
hash in the 1970’s - sweet and earthy with a chocolatey finish. Ganesh
combines the best of both worlds: it’s dense, glittery indica nuggets
have great ‘bag appeal’ and the sativa-dominant high leaves you
functional, social, yet relaxed. It’s a great smoke for fun activities
like a beach party; lying in your hammock and watching the sunlight
flash through the trees; sensual leisure or bodywork such as massage,
yoga, tai-chi; and all kinds of creativity.
