Top 44

With no apparent bravado, Top 44 stands as a masterpiece and an embodiment of Dutch mastery that is unjustly disregarded by growers and stoners alike. Created in collaboration with European and American breeders and the dedicated KADAMA team, T44 stands as a beacon of peaceful indica in the tumultuous ocean of the modern cannabis industry.

Genetics and Characteristics

Top 44, also known as T44, is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (80/20) hybrid with a high THC content of 18-20%. Resulting from a cross of Skunk #1 and Viking, T44 combines the best traits and characteristics of Afghan, Mexican and Colombian landraces, ensuring not only the highest quality, durability, and resilience in cultivation, but also the best flavor and aroma appreciated by fans of indica hybrids.

These seeds produce compact plants with sturdy branches and short internodes that form dense, pyramidal, and sticky buds highlighted by flashes of bright orange stigmas. The flowering stage lasts for 6-7 weeks, yielding 450-500 g/m² (16-18 oz) indoors. Outdoor cultivation will reward the meticulous gardener with a crop of fragrant, resin-soaked buds that reach an impressive half-kilo (18 oz) in the second decade of September.

Flavor and Aroma

Indica connoisseurs accustomed to traditional earthy, spicy and hashy notes will be surprised by the extra sweet undertones of burnt caramel, bold skunk highlights and chords of herbs and fuel. The pleasant aftertaste includes a distinctly refreshing citrus sensation on the palate.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Top 44 delivers a long-lasting euphoria, preceded by invigorating sativa high and followed by a rich and slow indica stone. This is the perfect evening strain to unwind after a hard day's work and find inspiration for creative projects.

Users of cannabis for medicinal purposes will find the broad terpene and cannabinoid profile highly beneficial to their health. Its "entourage effect" effortlessly relieves pain and inflammation, alleviates stress, anxiety, depression, attention deficit syndrome, PTSD, and insomnia.

Cultivation

T44 is one of the easiest strains to grow, which is why it's so popular with experienced growers and beginners alike. With its compact structure, it fits perfectly in a modest grow tent or is the best choice for discreet outdoor growing.

When growing indoors, provide the plant with a 15-20-liter (4-5.3-gallon) pot and nutrient-rich soil supplemented with drainage components (perlite, vermiculite, zeolite). Beginners will get the best results in terms of aroma, flavor, and yield by using organics. Advanced growers will enjoy the unparalleled ease of growing in hydroponic and aeroponic systems. Constant monitoring of relative humidity, pH, and ppm levels of nutrient solution and runoff water is a must at all stages of plant development.

The presence of Skunk genetics emphasizes the need to install a reliable ventilation system equipped with a heavy-duty carbon filter. Do your best to keep your hobby discreet, as the plant will smell a lot during flowering.

T44 is highly adaptable to all types of training techniques and canopy manipulations. Our recommendations include LST, FIM, topping and tying during the vegetative phase, as well as super-cropping, maintaining an open plant structure, using stakes or trellises (ScrOG) during flowering. For lighting, we strongly recommend full-spectrum LED panels that accurately mimic natural sunlight.
