We recommend growing this hybrid in a Sea of Green and to keep the vegetative time short. This will ensure plants will grow low and uniform, with an abundance of frosted, rock hard golf ball sized nugs.

Outdoor
When planted outdoors from Spring time onwards, and planted into a 50-100 liter (13-26 gallon) container, Matanuska Feminized can produce yields of 750 grams+ (26.5 oz) per plant.

A highly resistant cultivar that can battle strong winds, cold nights and low temperatures with ease. She will not stretch much once the timers are changed to 12/12 and will finish on average around 120 cm (47 inches) in height.

Fungal resistance

However, her effects are more euphoric yet chilled. Matanuska Feminized is an easy to trim strain that will grow buds so dense they will make a loud thud when dropped.

The buds become rock hard and there is one main central cola surrounded by thick budded side branches. A great choice for growers with limited space as she will generally finish around 120 cm (47 inches) tall.

Training

We recommend training this strain and applying low stress technique (LST), topping and pruning to get an enhanced yield and to change the final canopy shape and structure.

Smell, taste and effect

The effects of this strain are long-lasting and a wonderful combination of calming, with an upbeat euphoric element.

Be warned, she is well known for a creeper high that will reveal itself to you after the first 20 minutes or so. She is not too heavy body and with the right amount of energy and focus to make the experience ideal for social scenarios, daytime use, as well as a great selection for medical patients.

One of the things that makes this strain so special is the terpene profile, which is extremely fruity, with a chocolate edge. When smoking, the combination becomes one big flavor fest, that is similar to eating a bowl of fresh fruits, sweets, and a handful of chocolates. A unique flavor profile for those looking for something different.
