Strain: Hurricane (Panama Punch x LA Confidential)

Recommended experience level: Intermediate

Female: Panama Punch (Panamanian Mean Green x Neville’s Haze)

About the mother:

Overview:

  • The Panama Punch has an intense tropical aroma, and the requisite spiciness of a haze. The taste is just as mouthwatering as the smell, a mixture of mango and black pepper that leaves a sweet twinge on your lips upon exhale.

Yield: high

  • 400-800g / 1000W

Flowering time:

  • 60-65 days.

Growth stature: Tall

  • The Panama Punch stretches more than most strains once flowering is induced due to her haze lineage. Grower’s with height restrictions should definitely top her, and potentially train branches laterally as she really likes to reach for the sky. Be sure to underprune heavily as she doesn’t produce well below the canopy. Larger than average internodal spacing.

Nugget type and density:

  • Long dense nuggets.

Unique strain traits and oddities of mother:

  • The aroma is so amazing that we regularly find our growers pausing to take a few deep breathes whilst watering them
  • Dark reddish purple stems are common. Don’t worry if you see darker stems with this strain, it is a genetic trait and not a deficiency or disease.

Why we chose her:

  • A flavor and aroma like no other along with heavy yields and vigorous growth.  One of the more grower friendly strains with haze in the lineage, she’s not near as finicky as most other haze crosses.

Traits to look for in ideal phenotype:

Desired traits from mother

  • Super vigorous vegetative growth
  • Unique aroma and flavor
  • Heavy yields
  • High resin production
  • High potency
  • Disease resistance
  • Stability, consistency, and repeatability
  • High medicinal value

Desired traits from pollen donor (LA Confidential)

  • Manageable height
  • Tight dense buds
  • Short flowering period
  • High resin production
  • High potency
  • Disease resistance
  • Stability, consistency, and repeatability
  • High medicinal value

Undesirable traits potentially inherited from parents

  • Lower than average yield (LA Confidential)
  • Slow vegetative growth (LA Confidential)
