Dr. Grinspoon
Dr. Grinspoon is one of those marijuana strains that have an interesting story to it. It all started with Dr. Lester Grinspoon an Associate Professor at Harvard. The doctor was researching on marijuana to show how harmful it can be to human use. He later realized that there was no extensive information that showed marijuana was harmful. This led him to be the biggest activist who wanted the legalization of marijuana. It seems people found it fit to name of the strains after him. The actual lineage of the strain is unknown and the same thing goes for the breeder. All we know is that it is 100% pure sativa.
Being sativa dominant, the users will expect to experience some effect to their mental state. Of course in a good way. It can kick in quite well with a ferocious intensity like you have never experienced before. The reason is because of its high potent nature with a THC level of 20%. You have to take it easy when smoking this strain for the first time. Just like the doctor, you will start having better focus and introspection when you get to smoke this strain.
Most of those who have used it explain that you start feeling that your mood is uplifted and feel happier. This euphoric feeling is part of what makes people like the strain so much. Most users also feel that they have a clear head for thinking properly and heightened senses to make them better. You might also notice that your friend would start being chatty in no time.
The fragrance of the strain should keep you wanting even more of it. It has a gentle distinct floral scent and lemon. If it smells good, then it should be tasting good too. It has a pleasant taste that should keep you smoking it whenever possible. It also has a tangy aftertaste, which should be delightful for any person who needs a joint of this strain.
Growing this strain will need a bit of expertise. It is not like the other strains that would be easy. You have to know what to do at each stage. You can grow the strain indoors and outdoors. Most people prefer to grow the strain in greenhouses where the control of conditions is possible. The plant can grow to be quite tall, so just make sure you have enough space to accommodate it. It should end up producing tiny spherical green buds covered with crystals.
The plant is not the easiest to flower. You might be used to some of the strains that take only 8 weeks to flower. It is not same for this strain. It can take an average of 12 to 14 weeks to flower. The yield can be anywhere from moderate to high. It all depends on how you can handle the plants.
