Ministry of Cannabis
There has been a quest in recent years to tease out the
autoflowering characteristic from the Russian-born ruderalis
variant of cannabis. Autoflowering liberates growers from a
strict light schedule; however, ruderalis has a reputation for
otherwise mediocre qualities. The artful breeder must coax out
the autoflowering trait while maintaining the connoisseur
elements from the sativa and indica strains. Ministry of
Cannabis began their quest for a high quality autoflowering
plant with the Little Angel variety. They have continued this
program with the Angelmatic strain, an evolution of Little
Angel. Angelmatic improves on the stability and size of its
ruderalis-cross predecessor, with a slightly larger size and
better harvest. Ruderalis has been crossed into both sides of
Angelmatic’s family tree. The mother is a sativa-indicaruderalis hybrid with sativa dominance from regions in south
Russia and Europe. The father is also a three-way hybrid, but is
half-indica. The resulting cross is a bonsai strain that
autoflowers and finishes from seed to harvest in roughly 60
days.
Angelmatic is compact with light green cone buds dressed in
frosty white resin. The leaves are medium green with a
structure that balances the hybrid influences. This plant has
moderate branching that extends in a vertical rather than
horizontal direction. Angelmatic’s main stem is generally
double the size of the side branches, lending itself to a sea of
green approach. It can be pruned to the main branch and
deliver good chunky buds from its sturdy stem.
As a fast growing, compact plant, Angelmatic has vitality and
shows resistance to pests that will be appreciated indoors or
out. Ministry recommends cultivating Angelmatic in soil with a
generous supplement of nitrogen in its feeding regimen.
Outdoors, this plant still prefers a temperate climate. With
good light and normal temperatures, the buds form well, but if
basic growing conditions aren’t met, these dwarf-sized plants
will produce buds that are skimpy and loose, reducing yields.
Each plant can produce about an ounce indoors and two
ounces outdoors, with possible yields up to 3.5 ounces (100
grams) in full summer with a temperate climate.
The Angelmatic aroma is a sweet mix of flowers and candy,
and the flavor follows suit but adds a nice contrast of sourness
in the aftertaste. The effect is active and friendly, and comes on
slowly, taking a few minutes to fully register. This is a social
high, better for mellow activities than focused concentration.
Enjoy it with others over dinner, games, or just hanging out.
