El Patron: The daughter of AMG and Shiva
Buying cannabis seeds can be uncharted territory. Unless you've tried the variety before, you can't know what exactly you're getting yourself into. However, there are several ways to determine the quality of a cannabis strain without having it in front of you. One factor to consider is whether the variety has won any reputable awards. El Patron is one such award winner. She won first place for "Common Weed Cultured in Soil" at the Highlife Cup - judged by a verified panel of cannabis experts, this award is a real seal of quality.
El Patron comes from crossing the parent varieties AMG and Shiva. AMG (Amnesia Mac Ganja) is a sativa-dominant hybrid with a THC content of 22% and stimulating effects. Shiva, on the other hand, is an indica strain that offers a therapeutic high in addition to a taste of cardamom. By crossing these strains, our breeders created a balanced hybrid that consists of 60% sativa and 40% indica genes. El Patron is full of THC and fruity terpenes.
Effects, taste and aroma
Some smokers love a sativa kick, while others appreciate a body-focused indica high. El Patron is located exactly in the ideal midpoint between the two extremes. It offers both effects in almost perfect balance. After vaping or smoking her flowers, you will notice the initial cerebral high kicking in. Your neurons are stimulated, which is why you become more alert and creative thoughts rise to the surface. Ultimately, this effect transitions into a calming body high that stimulates thought and reflection. Because of these diverse effects, with El Patron you are dealing with a strain that is suitable for any time of day. She makes a good sociable specimen for parties, but is also a perfect candidate for moments of solitude.
El Patron is a favorite among cannabis chefs. Her flowers produce a powerful flavor and smell of citrus and Kush. Together, these flavors are great in cakes, brownies and other sweet recipes.
Grow El Patron
El Patron is not fussy. It grows exceptionally well indoors and outdoors. In terms of growth pattern, her indica genetics come to the fore. It remains relatively small and produces abundant lateral growth. Growers can tame their wild nature through capping and LST. Regardless of whether they are grown indoors or under the sun, the plants deliver medium-high yields.
