Grizzly

Qualities of Grizzly

Aroma

Super CBD, the mother of Grizzly, produces aromatic flowers that are rich in terpenes and flavonoids. This variety emits a delightful aroma of pine and fine wood, with subtle notes of tea tree and eucalyptus. Because of its mild but pleasant smell, this variety is excellent for producing hemp edibles.

Nightingale, the other parent of Grizzly, offers an intense and mouth-watering aroma of sweet and sour citrus. It also emits fruity notes of sweet blueberry, likely inherited from its Shishkaberry parent.

Notably, Grizzly produces a complex bouquet of pine, fresh soil, and cinnamon, with orange and hops notes. Some phenotypes may lean toward the pine and eucalyptus aroma of Super CBD, while others share the sweet berry and citrus bouquet of Nightingale. This terpene-rich cultivar also produces a variety of flavorful phenotypes.

Flavor

The complex aroma of Grizzly carries through in its flavor. This variety coats the mouth with sweet and sour notes of citrus, soil, and skunk. Some Nightingale-dominant phenotypes may produce the delicious flavors of sweet blueberry and orange. Conversely, Super CBD-dominant phenotypes often exhibit the subtle and savory flavors of pine and tea tree. This highly flavorful variety is an excellent choice for producing smokable hemp flowers and edibles.

Effects

Super CBD, the mother of Grizzly, delivers a pleasant and clearheaded effect. Because of its low THC level, users report that Super CBD is not psychoactive and does not inhibit one’s senses or mental alertness. Due to its relatively high CBD content, this variety may reduce pain and tension in the body and soothe the mind. Super CBD is an excellent choice for users who wish to remain alert and productive.

In contrast, Nightingale, the other parent of Grizzly, is a potent and narcotic Indica-dominant strain. Although this variety is high in CBD, some phenotypes may contain up to ten percent THC, which may cause a psychoactive effect. Users report that this variety offers a mellow, body-numbing sensation that some say provides relief from pain and stress. Experts recommend that users enjoy this cultivar at night due to its sleep-inducing high.

Concerning its effects, Grizzly is more akin to Super CBD than to Nightingale. Grizzly is very low in THC and does not produce a psychoactive effect. It delivers a calming and soothing high that leaves users feeling relaxed but lucid. Users reportedly enjoy this pleasant variety throughout the day because it does not inhibit one’s senses or produce undesirable effects such as paranoia or anxiety.

Structure 

Super CBD, the mother of Grizzly, is highly Sativa-dominant in its growth structure. Because Super CBD can reach a height of 12 feet or more in a single growing season, this variety may be best suited to outdoor cultivation. Super CBD produces long, thick branches with large internodal spacing. The substantial length of the branches makes this a viable strain for fiber production. Super CBD creates large colas of frosty buds that may turn purple late in the growing season.

In contrast, Nightingale, the other parent of Grizzly, is Indica-dominant in structure. This variety is of medium height, with tight internodal spacing and dense, resin-coated flowers. Because of its compact structure, Nightingale is highly popular among indoor and greenhouse growers.

Grizzly tends to resemble Super CBD in its growth structure. As a Sativa-dominant variety, Grizzly grows exceptionally tall, stretching considerably during the early flowering period. Grizzly develops large, thick branches with substantial internodal spacing. This hemp variety produces large, uniform colas with a minimal leaf-to-cola ratio. The buds are dense and frosty and may exhibit hues of lime green or purple depending on the climate in which they are grown.

Grizzly Potential Medical Applications

Grizzly is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other desirable hemp compounds. Studies have shown that these compounds may possess a multitude of therapeutic properties. Grizzly is particularly rich in CBD, a cannabinoid whose calming and soothing effects have made it popular among medical consumers. Users report that this strain may relieve pain, reduce stress, elevate the mood, and increase appetite. Grizzly is an excellent choice for medical users who wish to ease their pain but remain alert and clearheaded.

Growing Grizzly

Both Super CBD and Nightingale are hardy, easy-to-grow hemp varieties. Grizzly is also easy to cultivate and, like its parents, produces robust plants that grow vigorously. Grizzly seeds are extremely stable and viable, with a 97-percent germination rate and a feminization rate of 99.9 percent. As such, farmers can be confident knowing that nearly every seed will produce a potent, flavorful, and sexually stable female hemp plant.

Grizzly is resilient to most environmental stresses and has shown itself to be adaptable to a wide variety of climates. Its adaptability makes it a great choice for any farmer, especially those located in the southernmost United States. This cultivar thrives in organic, slightly alkaline soil but grows well in various growing mediums.

Grizzly proliferates during the vegetative period and matures quickly during flowering, making it viable for late-season planting. This variety may begin flowering when exposed to 13 or fewer hours of daylight. Grizzly offers an above-average yield and, with a three- to four-week vegetative growth period, it can produce an average of one pound of hemp buds per plant. When the vegetative growth period extends, Grizzly can yield even more hemp flowers. Importantly, farmers may need to stake the plants to support the weight of their massive colas.

Indoor Growing

Grizzly’s great height makes it best-suited to outdoor and greenhouse cultivation. This variety may require extensive training for farmers growing indoors to limit its stretch during the flowering period. High-stress and low-stress training methods, such as topping, fimming, and super cropping, may reduce the height and increase this variety’s yield.

Pest and Disease Control

Grizzly is highly resilient to most pests and diseases. Its minimal leaf-to-cola ratio makes it less prone to fungal diseases than are other hemp strains. This trait makes Grizzly an excellent choice for farmers in the Southern United States or high humidity areas. This variety is also resistant to worms and other pests. Due to its resilience to pests and diseases, pesticides and chemical additives are rarely necessary to grow this variety.
