Giant Crusader

Giant Crusader is an indica/sativa variety from TerpyZ X KalySeeds and can be cultivated outdoors and in the greenhouse (where the plants will need a flowering time of ±70 days). TerpyZ X KalySeeds' Giant Crusader is a THC dominant variety and is/was never available as feminized seeds.

TerpyZ X KalySeeds' Giant Crusader Description

Strain Description: Giant Crusader is a Crusader Kush backcrossed to Giant Pur Pur, increasing the Single Leaflet occurrence. The selected Crusader Kush has shown some subtle variegations, great hybrid vigour, serrated Lanceolate （single Leaflet） leaves, typical for Giant Pur Pur and Hazey Terpenes. The Giant Pur Pur F5 was selected out of a population with Haze Terpenes, large-sized single leaflet plants and extreme vigour.

Crusader Kush is a cross of Giant Pur Pur （GPP）, which is a vigorous and large growing single leaflet strain with serrated leaf edges with AD 17, which stays a bit smaller also with smaller non-serrated single leaflet leaves. Giant Pur Pur is the result of Crossing a Single Leaflet （Lanceolate） Landrace Strain originating from the Russian Chinese border region “Amur” with our Indian Summer Duckfoot Strain （Blueberry F1 x 80´s Purple Passion x Mexican Sativa Landrace）. Selected for the Single Leaflet trait over many generations, whilst maintaining old-school flavours. AD17 is a single leaflet strain, that comes from the SWAG-Strain gene pool, carrying Berry, Fruity, Fuel and Haze aroma types.

Morphology & Growth: Giant Pur Pur with hybrid vigour and a range of Leaf morphologies. The plants resemble common herbs or weeds like stinging nettle, Basil, Lemon Balm or Mint and even carry variegations, which in our strain test were plenty but mostly subtle ~30%. The single leaflet trait is recessive and was rarely present in the Crusader Kush Generation. Resulting in a Duckfoot and SWAG Hybrid Line. By crossing it again with a Giant Pur Pur line, we have increased the rate of serrated Single leaflet progeny. Yet, SWAG Leaves, un-serrated Single leaflet, Duckfoot, and Mint Leaf types will be present. The branches of Giant Crusader are full of thick, chunky, and frosty buds with purple hues. The internodes are medium lengthened and the plant will branch out moderately.

Aromas & Flavours: Our test plants predominantly developed Honey, Hash, Wood, Haze and Berry Aromas, as selected for in the parental lines. Other Terpene profiles are to be expected

Effects: Hybrid

Cultivation: Easy to cultivate and hardy to almost any known plant issues. Cold night temperatures have been handled well. In outdoor cultivation, not much fertiliser is required, be careful, not all plants will tolerate heavy feeding.
