Skywalker Feminized

Mazar, a landrace from the far north of Afghanistan, is the wellspring of many of the world's most outstanding indigenous Indica varieties. When grown in the fertile soil of its homeland, it can stretch vigorously, reaching 13 feet tall or more. It produces an immense yield of trichome-packed flowers with an immobilizing narcotic effect.

Blueberry, on the other hand, is known for its fragrant aroma and long-lasting euphoric effects. Like Mazar, its intensely resinous buds can also deliver a full-bodied stone. This strain is much admired for its colorful hues and carries immense bag appeal.

When Mazar and Blueberry are combined in a single strain, the reasonable expectation is that their offspring would exhibit mostly-Indica characteristics. However, one phenotype leaning towards the Sativa side emerged. Dubbed Skywalker, it delivers a profound euphoric buzz and a focused high. At the same time, it's powerful enough to knock out pain and lull users into complete relaxation followed by hours of restful sleep.

Homegrown Cannabis Co. provides Skywalker in quick-germinating feminized seed form. The resulting plant combines the best of the genetic forerunners – the lip-biting, fruity sweetness of Blueberry, a short stature, and the sturdiness and high-yield of Mazar. Not only is this strain great for recreational use – it's also straightforward to grow. The elimination of male chromosomes in these seeds makes it a convenient and cost-effective process that can provide heavy yields in optimum conditions.

Growing Skywalker from Feminized Seeds

Skywalker is hardy and resistant to mold and common diseases. It grows to about 3 feet indoors and less than 5 feet outside. Like its parents, the plant develops brawny branches and stems, along with a lush foliage of broad, vivid green leaves. Even as the colas reach peak weight and maturity, its sturdy limbs require no support. Just make sure you prune the inessential leaves and side branches for better airflow and light exposure.

This strain grows well in both soil and hydroponics, although growing in organic compost enhances the fragrance and flavor. It also needs a temperature between 70 and 79°F and a dry environment to flourish.

If growing outdoors, the ideal climate should be similar to locations around the Mediterranean, California, and Spain. In these known cannabis paradises, each plant can produce up to 17 ounces, and harvest should be ready by mid-October in the northern hemisphere or March in the southern hemisphere.

If outdoor conditions are not optimal or consistent, it's best to cultivate Skywalker indoors. Most growers prefer this route as it's easier for controlling critical grow elements such as temperature, humidity, and light for maximum bud and resin production. These factors are especially vital during the 9 to 10 weeks of flowering. This strain adapts very well to the Sea of Green (SOG), boosting the yield up to 1.31 ounces per square foot while also making the best use of limited space.

Fragrance and Flavor

Skywalker takes after Blueberry in terms of its aroma and flavor profile. It has the sweetness of a mixed berry fruit salad with a musky note lingering subtly in the background. Once lit up and inhaled, a hint of pine and a bit of spice can be noticed.

Effects

Although the genotype and effects are intensely Sativa, Skywalker can still induce a profoundly Indica stone. It's therefore best reserved for nighttime use or for whenever the schedule allows long hours of chill-out time.

A mellow buzz begins ebbing away at the temples after just a couple of tokes, before the intensity increases into a full-scale hazy euphoria. Almost instantaneously, positive thoughts push worries out of the mind, uplifting the mood.

After several minutes, a deep sense of physical calm spreads throughout the body, but it's unlikely to cause couch-lock as long as the dosage is well within reasonable limits. The pleasure of slothing around is undeniable, though, so don't think about accomplishing anything other than reposing while under its influence.

Seasoned consumers are well aware that the best time to use this type of strain is during the late afternoon or early evening. Accustomed to the influx of THC and already having built a degree of tolerance, there may be a delay in the sedating effects. Newbies, on the other hand, may fall to the depths of slumber much more quickly.

Medical

Skywalker is said to be brimful with healing properties. Its euphoric, bliss-inducing effects may calm the symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. Patients who have lost the desire to eat due to underlying conditions such as cancer, AIDS, or liver failure may benefit from its appetite-stimulating effect. Its antiemetic properties may also prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.

This strain is also said to be an effective painkiller. It has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that work together, potentially reducing discomfort caused by the likes of migraines, muscle spasms and arthritis.

After obliterating mental, emotional, and physical woes, its sedating property starts to manifest with heavy drowsiness. For this reason, Skywalker may also be useful for alleviating insomnia.

While this strain comes with many positives, there may be some unwanted side-effects, especially in high dosages. Dry eyes and cottonmouth are the most common, but it may also cause dizziness, heightened anxiety and paranoia.

Skywalker Feminized Seeds

Ideal for novice growers, these Skywalker feminized seeds grow into small, sturdy, high-yielding plants. An all-female batch also means that waiting for the gender pre-flowers and getting rid of males are out of the picture. If you're looking for a huge stash of relaxing buds perfect for nighttime usage, this hybrid must be at the top of the list. It has a lip-biting, fruity sweetness that quickly delivers a euphoric hit and a knock out physical stone. It may even ease pain, stress, anxiety, loss of appetite and insomnia.
