Nirvana
The long statured Venus is 100% female, a new production
skunk developed with the commercial grower in mind. This
variety is sure to keep everyone happy with her active buzz,
sweet skunky smell and long, easy-to-clean buds.
Venus is a combination of a consistent, stable Pure Power
Plant and a strong Top 44 female that was forced to produce
male flowers using giberellic acid. The Pure Power Plant (PPP)
is one of the most well known and widely available commercial
strains in Europe. Developed in the late 1990s from South
African and Dutch strains, PPP proved to have terrific
flowering potential in the indoor garden scene and has become
a staple of Dutch growers. Coffeehouse patrons appreciate
PPP’s upbeat buzz and light pine-tree scent.
Top 44 is another wildly successful commercial plant that
displays minimal branching, a pungent skunkiness, and a
satisfyingly rapid grow cycle. Her easy-to-control growth has
made Top 44 desirable for indoor or balcony growers, and a
natural choice for sea of green setups.
The result of this union is an ideal indoor 50/50 hybrid that
yields dew-dusted buds after 8-10 weeks of flowering. Venus
grows well outdoors in Spain and Great Britain, where she
finishes in October. In indoor grows, modest heights of 3 feet
(1 m) can be expected when flowering is induced at 1 foot (30
cm).
While Venus naturally takes on the traditional candelabra
structure, Nirvana recommends pruning away her spindly
bottom branches and retaining her top five limbs, staking them
in a sea of green style, with 16 plants per square meter.
Indoors, hyrdoponics systems will deliver the best volume and
a more dense carpet of glands. Venus can handle a very high
EC and therefore should be pushed to achieve her full
potential. The cured Venus buds have a curious aroma that is
decidedly skunkish, and an agreeable level of potency that
reaches both body and mind in a soothing yet wakeful way—a
kind and balanced stone.
