Sex Panther

Sex Panther or Hybrid (Sativa-leaning or Balanced depending on phenotype) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 24% – 29% and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Pungent, Skunky, Gas, and Pine (Complex Sweet/Spicy finish) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium to Tall (Significant "stretch" during early flower) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Medium-High; benefits from heavy Cal-Mag in mid-flower.

This Hybrid (Sativa-leaning or Balanced depending on phenotype) is of the Genetype: Fire Crotch x Zoap. The Sex Panther strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Sex Panther in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Hybrid (Sativa-leaning or Balanced depending on phenotype) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Sex Panther 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 Hybrid (Sativa-leaning or Balanced depending on phenotype) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Sex Panther needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Sex Panther is 18/6 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Sex Panther 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 Hybrid (Sativa-leaning or Balanced depending on phenotype) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Fire Crotch x Zoap 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 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. Sex Panther 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 High; responds well to Topping, Scrog, and LST.

The most exciting phase, when growing Fire Crotch x Zoap is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Sex Panther will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12 (or 11/13 for resin push). Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 35% – 45% RH 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 Sex Panther 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 Hybrid (Sativa-leaning or Balanced depending on phenotype) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous lateral branching with dense, resinous "frosty" buds

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
The "Stretch": Because of the Sativa leaning in the Zoap/Fire Crotch lineage, Sex Panther can nearly double in size during the first 3 weeks of flowering. Ensure you have enough vertical clearance or use a Scrog (Screen of Green) to manage the canopy.

Aroma Control: This strain is "loud." By week 5 of flower, the skunky/diesel aroma becomes intense. A high-quality carbon filter is non-negotiable for indoor hobbyists.

Aesthetic: Look for the "Purple Pheno." Lowering your nighttime temperatures by about 10°F during the final two weeks of flower often triggers deep purple and indigo hues in the foliage.
