Sensi Seed Bank
Mr. Nice was named in honor of Howard Marks, the Welsh
cannabis campaigner, author, and one-time hashish
entrepreneur. Marks became a folk legend after writing his
bestselling 2002 autobiography Mr. Nice, which tells the story
of his life as an international marijuana smuggler during the
1980s leading up to his DEA bust. In 2010, his story was made
into a movie out of the UK, which was also titled Mr. Nice.
Marks continues to write about marijuana and to advocate for
its legalization.
His namesake strain also starts with weed folklore. The Mr.
Nice mother is a G-13. G-13 is the rumored US government pot
from their Mississippi facility. An unknown technician rescued
a cutting from this facility, after which it was brought to
Holland. This 100% indica strain is an Afghani genotype. The
Mr. Nice father is Sensi Seed Bank’s Hash Plant, a cross that is
75% Hash Plant and 25% Northern Lights.
In Mr. Nice, these two power-hitters combine to deliver a
vigorous and iconic indica. Deep jade and short in stature,
these plants support heavy bud production with outstanding
resin levels on sturdy thick stems. Much like Mr. Nice himself,
the G-13xHP seed strain was big in the 1980s, when it earned
quite a reputation after its introduction. However, it was only
released as a limited edition at the time and soon became a
rare find. In 1999, Sensi brought this legendary cross back to
honor a living legend.
Mr. Nice forms a very large central cola, and its restrained
growing pattern allows it to grow admirably in a sea of green
setup without being overly crowded. Growers looking for a star
indica will enjoy the efficiency and vigor of these tough and
capable plants in the garden. Yields are admirable, even when
plants are kept small.
Indica connoisseurs will savor this variety’s mouth-watering
“double Afghani” bouquet. The dense bud clusters ripen into a
rich, spicy-sweet tang of raw resin glands, blended with dark,
earthy undertones. When sampling the stickiest nuggets, the
taste can convince people that they’re smoking a mix of
hashish and ganja. The potency of the stone may test people’s
limits with its knock-down Afghani body rush.
