In this sativa-dominant variety, breeder Subcool brings
together three elite strains from the TGA Library. The super
potent Apollo-13 mother, a Subcool personal favorite, is
combined with a pick of the litter male Jack the Ripper, itself a
combination of the primo Jacks Cleaner and Space Queen
strains. Considering the strength of these three strains, TGA
feels that this hybrid is a new dimension in three-way crosses.
The Third Dimension is a fast finisher indoors, reaching
ripeness in just under 8 weeks. The plant shown here was
grown in an organic super soil mix. This variety has nice lateral
branching and thrives when topped and allowed multiple
heads. Expect a classic morphology from this strain —an
evergreen profile with stems as strong as the parent branches.
She is a light eater, taking moderate feedings and growing well
without supports.
The Third Dimension plants express two phenotypes, one that
is more indica and one that is more sativa. The short indica
phenotype is well suited for SCROG (screen of green), because
her side branching makes a nice lower bud shelf. She shows
minimal stretching and finishes very fast, in just over 7 weeks.
This plant is worth cloning and has shown good success at
rooting. The less common sativa-dominant phenotype takes an
additional two weeks to finish, and springs up to over 5 feet
tall, but her soaring high is worth the extra wait. The
phenotypical variation in this strain makes her desirable to
growers who love both indicas and sativas.
As Third Dimension matures, her resin spreads even to fan
leaves, causing the small “sugar” leaves to curl together.
Bubble hash made from these leaves melts completely at the
touch of a flame. The plants’ green hues change into autumnal
shades as harvest approaches. The buds are chunky and hard,
with a sharp pointy shape. Cured buds are light green with
brilliant orange hairs and a sticky coat of resin.
The Third Dimension fills the grow room with the dank smell
of sour, overripe fruit. As the buds dry, the aromas and flavors
mellow to a tropical fruit tartness. The inhale has an infusion of
fruitiness that includes hints of mango, pineapple, coconut and
a bit of lemon. The exhale is very soft and mellow. When
smaller leaves are converted to bubble hash, it completely
melts when heat is applied.
Third Dimension’s buzz is a sparkle added to the mundane
day, making everything softer and funnier. In moderation, this
stone is clearheaded enough for daytime enjoyment; however,
this is the weed equivalent of a tropical cocktail—the light
fruity flavors can make you forget the potency, so it sometimes
too easy to overindulge. The Third Dimension may enhance
snacking, but is likely to rev up the imagination a bit too much
to encourage sleep.
