This cross turned out to be a stellar mating, I took the Empress male and pollinated a couple of Grapefruit/Mendo Purp cuts I had gotten in Oaksterdam. The offspring are some amazing plants in more than a couple ways.
They are hearty and simple, almost grow by themselves (like weeds). They have a great structure and can handle stress very well. Topping and LST work great.They have an above average yield of very kushy nuggets on what can get larger than normal kush plants, (from the Grapefruit), they have strong branches & large knuckles (where the branch meets the stem). Great trichome production and they are low odor, a little fruity smelling as they grow, but after a good cure, the Empress Kush potency is right there behind a very fruity, sweet taste with a powerful rush on the first exhale. Very easy on the throat when grown organically. Chemmando is done around day 65 of flowering.
The medical benefits range from Arthritis, Joint and Muscle pain and Fibromyalgia to Headaches, Depression and Anxiety. It helps with Appetite and Insomnia, very relaxing.
