Nirvana Seed Bank
Chrystal is a child of celebrity parents, destined for her own
renown. The Chrystal mother derives from the legendary White
Widow strain. White Widow set the standard for “White”
strains. Nirvana’s White Widow is a tall plant with delicate
arms and moderately compact copiously resinous buds.
To breed Chrystal, Nirvana backcrossed White Widow with
famed daddy Northern Lights. This Northern Lights leans to
the sativa side with a powerful, energetic, and very social buzz.
As would be expected, this marriage produced a plant with a
lot of good genetics. Chrystal is a fine indoor plant, whether
the garden is a soil or hydro system. Soil-based gardens bring
out more complex flavors and aromas, while hydro setups
deliver more commercial-style buds that are compact and easy
to trim, but diminish this plant in the smell department.
This F1 hybrid grows quite aggressively, so growth should be
controlled. Toward the end of flowering, all branches have to
be staked and supported. Fortunately, the high budto-leaf ratio
from her Northern Lights father makes Chrystal a pretty easy
plant to manicure. When placed into flowering at 16 inches (40
cm), Chrystal can easily reach 3 feet (1 m) at maturity. Her
growth structure makes sea of green an efficient choice,
although Nirvana has seen greenhouse gardens where Chrystal
was grown as a multi-branched plant. These greenhouse ladies
reach 6 feet (2 m) in height and yield 750 grams of quality
grass per plant.
Chrystal’s sticky buds have noticeable kerosene overtones – a
clean but pungent lawnmower whiff. The effects are quick
hitting, producing an all-around high that can be felt in both
body and mind. In other words, the stone reflects the balance,
acceleration, and power of Chrystal’s parentage. Chrystal took
first place in the Dutch Highlife Cup, 2002.
