Jordan of the Islands
In Greek and Roman mythology, Ambrosia is the name given to
the food of the gods. Perhaps this plant complements the menu
with a smoke worthy of this term’s general definition:
“something sweetly pleasing in taste or smell.” The Burmese
sativa mother of this plant came from Mighty Mite Seed
Company, and was voted the #1 People’s Choice in the 2002
Cannabis Culture Toker’s Bowl. The father, Jordan’s God Bud
strain, is a mostly indica plant that gained popularity because
of its powerful, desirable aroma and a flavor leaning toward
tropical sweetness.
Ambrosia grows well in a sea of green using hydro or soil
methods. Outdoors this plant does best in locales with long
days during the summer. Its growth habits meld together
aspects from both sides of the family tree, resulting in a plant
that reaches a happy medium in height, foliage and coloration.
Ambrosia is a fast, vigorous grower. She will become bushy if
there is room, but tends to not be very leafy, which makes
manicuring a little less painstaking. With average fertilizer use
and good garden conditions, Ambrosia produces a respectable
yield of buds that are dense, sticky and redolent of classic
mellow dank skunkiness.The leaves yellow and the hairs turn
strongly orange to clearly indicate ripe readiness.
Ambrosia’s smoke is appropriately sweet and complex, with
just enough skunk to keep it traditional. The Ambrosia buzz
stays on the sativa end of the spectrum, producing an awake,
up high that comes on fast and stays functional. This makes
Ambrosia a good all-day smoke.
