Great White Shark

The name of this strain speaks for itself. The associations of a feared sea monster are well justified, as the Great White Shark is just as fast in attack, potent in effect, incredibly resilient in cultivation and staggering in its natural energy, skillfully directed by the experienced breeders at the KADAMA seed shop.

Genetics and Characteristics

Great White Shark, also known as Peacemaker, is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (80/20) hybrid with a moderately high THC level of 16-18%, which is closely related to the care provided by the grower. Since its appearance in the early 90s, the popularity of this strain has risen like a tsunami, carrying the Shark straight to dizzying success and numerous awards at international cups and competitions. The breeding of the Great White Shark is the result of complex multilinear crossings, spanning continents and legendary genetic families. Think about it; the branches of the family tree are intertwined in a complex genetic composition: from the enchanting Super Skunk to ancient indica and sativa landraces native to Brazil and southern India.

The dominance of indica is evident in the compactness of the plant and a flowering period of 9-10 weeks, with outdoor harvests ready in the first decade of October. Medium-sized indoor plants produce up to 800 g/m² (28 oz) of high-quality buds. Outdoors, a single plant can generously gift a caring grower with a kilo (35 oz) [!] of pyramid-shaped, fragrant, resin-soaked buds.

Flavor and Aroma

The organoleptic bouquet is refined and classy, with pronounced notes of citrus, woody and floral aromas, pungent skunk, as well as spices, herbs and a distinct earthiness. The smoke is soft, smooth, and slightly peppery on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The onset is swift and intense, beginning with a brief cerebral burst that rises rapidly to a peak before turning into a prolonged stone that leaves users in a relaxed, almost meditative state. Medical cannabis users will find Great White Shark effective in relieving stress, depression, anxiety, nervous tension, migraines and chronic fatigue associated with a general decline in energy balance.

Cultivation

These compact, low-maintenance plants have an insatiable appetite and require regular feeding. If you're a novice grower, opt for organic cultivation using ready-made nutrient-rich soil mixes with the addition of perlite, vermiculite, and mycorrhiza. Professionals achieve the best results with hydroponic and aeroponic systems.

The strain thrives both indoors and outdoors, but its potential unfolds much more fully indoors. For effective training, KADAMA experts recommend using techniques such as LST, tying, moderate defoliation during the vegetative phase and more intensive pruning during flowering. SoG and ScrOG improve both the quality and quantity of the yield. The optimal pot capacity is at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons). Use full-spectrum LEDs to illuminate your garden with an 18/6 lighting regime for the vegetative stage, switching to 12/12 for the start of flowering.

FAQ

What is the height of a mature plant?

Indoors – 120-130 cm (47-51 inches), outdoors – 150-190 cm (59-75 inches).

What is the primary terpene profile?

Myrcene, geraniol, pinene, and caryophyllene.

What are the possible side effects of using this strain?

Do not panic! Drink your favorite beverage to prevent dehydration (dry mouth). Red eyes can be treated with regular eye drops. Users with low THC tolerance may experience increased heart rate, which can be managed with deep and controlled breathing. Drink more fluids, try to stay active, don't isolate yourself, and the Great White will surely loosen its grip.
