Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes or Indica-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 22% – 28% (Highly potent) and CBD levels ranging from < 1% (Minimal). Known for its Citrus, Diesel, Earthy Skunk profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 3.5 – 4 feet (Medium/Compact) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; responds well to consistent Silica for stem strength..

This Indica-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) is of the Genetype: Bubba Skywalker x ML11. The Snake Eyes strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Snake Eyes in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Snake Eyes needs to maintain a target temperature of 75°F – 80°F 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. 60/40) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Snake Eyes needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Snake Eyes is 18/6 Cycle for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Snake Eyes will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 68°F – 77°F (Likes cooler nights to finish) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% RH is achieved, the Indica-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Bubba Skywalker x ML11 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 Cycle 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. Snake Eyes 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 (Excellent for Topping and LST due to "Kush" structure).

The most exciting phase, when growing Bubba Skywalker x ML11 is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Snake Eyes will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12 Cycle. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 72°F and 35% – 45% (Critical for resin preservation) 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 Snake Eyes 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. 60/40) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous vegetative growth; finishes in 9–10 weeks.

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Strategy
Because Snake Eyes is prized for its crystalline calyxes and resin production, it is a favorite for home growers interested in solventless extraction (hash/rosin). Its moderate height makes it ideal for indoor tents. To maximize the "frosted" look, dropping the temperatures in the final two weeks of flowering is recommended to bring out deeper colors and preserve the volatile terpene profile.
