The Ultimate

The Ultimate is an amazingly productive and remarkably resilient strain of mysterious origin. Try to unravel its mystery, and you're guaranteed to be blown away by the staggering yields and unforgettable effects.

Characteristics

The genetics of this feminized and well-balanced hybrid are kept under wraps, creating genuine intrigue among growers and consumers alike. The presence of musky notes in the strain's organoleptic profile suggests a connection to the Skunk family, and prudent growers will need to equip their indoor rooms with a heavy-duty carbon filter due to the strain's intense aroma during flowering. The Ultimate excels at fantastic outdoor productivity, where a single plant can yield up to 750 g (26 oz) of fragrant and dense buds. Indoor yields are equally impressive, ranging from 500-700 g/m² (18-25 oz). To approach these yield numbers, do not rush into flowering; maximize canopy formation by providing plants with high intensity LEDs on a 20/4 or 18/6 lighting regime. The Ultimate will stretch considerably during the first 3 weeks of the pre-flowering stage. Don't worry. Switching to a 12/12 will quickly fill the space between the nodes with heavy resinous buds capable of breaking branches with their weight. To minimize this risk, install lateral supports or use trellises to increase the area of the canopy exposed to light – this will have a positive effect on the yield and quality of the final product.

Flavor and Aroma

During flowering, The Ultimate has no trouble producing a wide organoleptic palette, exuding only two basic aromas – rich earth and piercing skunk. Dried and cured buds reveal the flavor of sweet tropical fruits while maintaining the same pungency. Thick and slightly harsh smoke reveals pine and citrus notes, accompanied by a subtle undertone of fuel.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The Ultimate exhibits versatile, balanced effects with a vibrant sativa uplift that brings a surge of creativity and sociability, later transitioning into a focused indica relaxation. It is a versatile and ultimate smoke for recreational activities with friends and prolific relaxation throughout the day. The strain effectively combats anxiety and depression, relieves pain and inflammation, and positively modulates overall emotional well-being, improving mood and resistance to stress.

Cultivation

It is possible to achieve the aforementioned yields with basic theoretical background or practical skills developed through at least one successful cycle. However, KADAMA experts claim that even beginners can achieve a rich harvest if they pay attention to the plant during the entire growing period and create the necessary conditions for its full development. For those who lack experience, we recommend organic cultivation and training techniques that do not involve extensive defoliation. Advanced growers can achieve great results with an inert substrate and hydroponic systems with strict control of pH and ppm (EC) levels. Apply LST, FIM, SoG/ScrOG to ensure that not a single photon of light is wasted and to stimulate the development of lateral branches. Monitor relative humidity indoors, as buds are particularly susceptible to mold during flowering. Install reliable ventilation coupled with a carbon filter, which will not only help control the environment, but will also eliminate the pungent skunky odor that is inevitable from the pre-flowering stage.

When grown outdoors, The Ultimate thrives in a warm, dry climate but will adapt to cooler conditions with a slight reduction in yield. Considering the intense aroma of the plants during flowering, ensure maximum camouflage by planting it in remote areas or consider the option of guerrilla growing.

FAQ

How long does it take for this strain to finish flowering?

Indoors, the flowering period lasts for up to 9 weeks. Outdoors, harvest time approaches mid-October.

What is the level of THC?

The average content of THC is around 20%, ensuring a potent and long-lasting effect.

What is the height of mature plants?

The Ultimate has a compact structure that is unusual for photoperiod strains, reaching up to 100 cm (39 inches) even under ideal outdoor conditions. This feature is highly valued by gardeners looking for a discreet growing and owners of modest grow boxes and tents.
