TGA Seeds
Qleaner’s true beginnings are with its Jack’s Cleaner mother.
Jack’s Cleaner is a complex cross, which began by pairing
Pluton and Neville’s 1985 Super Sativa Seed Club (SSSC)
Northern Lights#5. Through multiple steps, Purple Haze and
Jack Herer were also introduced to the Jack’s Cleaner genetic
mix. The name Qleaner reflects the strong influence of Jack’s
Cleaner in its flavor and effects, but the Q comes from the
influence of the father, a west coast mix of Purple Urkle and
Space Queen.
Due to her short frame, Qleaner performs well indoors,
producing good yields in both soil and hydroponic set ups.
When hydro methods are used, this strain tends to experience a
fast growth spurt. In soil, Qleaner plants should be topped and
trained to maximize light, which greatly improves garden
yields. Short vegetative times in hydro will deliver yields of
about 2 ounces per site. In soil, 5 ounces per plant is average.
Plants budded at 24 inches finish at a height of less than 5 feet.
Topped Qleaner plants get very wide and have a great deal of
lower branching. This plant forms enormous fan leaves, which
should be removed from the lower branches lest they serve as
umbrellas shading light from peripheral bud sites. When left
untopped, the lower branches shoot up until they are almost
equal in height with the top cola.
Outdoors, Qleaner’s growth takes off fast. She looks like a
different plant when compared to her indoor cousins. At 42°
North latitude, Qleaner finishes by mid to late October. Longer
grow seasons would allow the plants to have extended
flowering time and grow larger.
The Qleaner has a thick musty grape scent while growing but
tends to keep its smells trapped unless a flower is manipulated.
As the plants progress, the leaves get an oily, leathery look and
take on purple tones when the nighttime temperatures dip. The
buds fill out nicely as plants near ripeness, and the leaves turn
so deeply purple that they appear nearly black by harvest time.
Qleaner buds are dense and crunchy to the touch due to the
thick layer of encrusted bulbous trichomes. When trimming,
black resin builds up on scissors and must be tasted to believe
the strong grape experience.
The first thing you notice with the Qleaner is the strong
candy grape flavor. Clone selection was guided by flavor, and
the unmistakable tastes of grape Kool-Aid dominate, with floral
fruity hints adding dimension. Almost a stimulant at the outset,
Qleaner comes on very fast with an initial clearheaded, clean
feeling buzz. For the first half hour, the high continues to build
until it starts moving down into the body. As such, this variety
is an exhilarating experience, adding a general sense of
giddiness to the atmosphere, but as the full potency kicks in,
watching TV may be about all you can handle. Getting a light
buzz may create an electric energy, but verconsumption often
leads to a strong tendency to couchlock. Subcool recommends
this variety for tinctures, which provide very good pain relief
when applied both externally and internally. Hints of grape
flavor carry through when glycerin is used as the base.
