Hyper Za

Hyper Za or Indica Dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 35% (Testing routinely hits this high mark) and CBD levels ranging from < 1% (Minimal). Known for its Candy-Gas / Pastry shop with a refinery next door profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium / Upright (Low-leaf frame makes it manageable) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate to Heavy (High THC potential requires robust feeding).

This Indica Dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is of the Genetype: Photoperiod, Feminized. The Hyper Za strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Hyper Za in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica Dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Hyper Za needs to maintain a target temperature of 75°F – 80°F (24°C – 27°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica Dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Hyper Za needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Hyper Za is 18/6 (Standard Vegetative) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Hyper Za will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 82°F (21°C – 28°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% RH is achieved, the Indica Dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Photoperiod, Feminized is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 (Photoperiod Trigger) for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Hyper Za is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered Excellent for SCROG or Topping (Upright, sturdy frame).

The most exciting phase, when growing Photoperiod, Feminized is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Hyper Za will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) (Drop to bring out purple hues) and 35% – 45% RH (Prevent bud rot in dense colas) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Hyper Za is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica Dominant Hybrid (approx. 75% Indica / 25% Sativa) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Fast flowering (55–60 days). Upright, low leaf-to-bud ratio.

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
Ease of Manicure: One of the standout features for hobbyists is the "low-leaf frame." You won't spend hours defoliating or trimming; the buds are "golf-ball" style and very distinct from the foliage.

The "Stretch": Expect a moderate stretch when flipping to 12/12. Because it has an upright growth habit, ensure you have vertical clearance or use a trellis net to spread the canopy.

Resin Warning: This strain "dumps" resin. If you enjoy making solventless hash (bubble hash/rosin) at home, this is a top-tier choice.

Aroma Control: The "Gas" profile is aggressive. Ensure your carbon filter is fresh before Phase 2.

Coloration: To maximize the "striking purple hues" mentioned by the breeder, aim for a 10-15 degree temperature drop during the "lights out" period in the final 2 weeks of flowering.
