Discover the Wonder of the Power Plant

With its famous Buddha statue, the name Power Plant has become synonymous with certain types of cannabis. However, there is no evidence to suggest that the revered Buddha himself used cannabis; rather it is the popularity of certain strains of cannabis that has led to this association. The strain that is most well-known around the world is named St Anthony, after the place where it was found growing wild in the mountains.

St Anthony’s Power Plant, as it is known popularly, is named after this location and not the Buddha figure on the label. Thanks to the 80% sativas in the cannabis seed, users are put into a highly relaxed, energetic and uplifting high, which makes them alert and energized, but at the same time comfortable. What does Power Plant taste like? With a woodsy, peppery flavor, Power Plant cannabis Seeds has about 18% THC which gives a pleasant, uplifting and creative high which can be a little overpowering for those new to medicinal or recreational cannabis use.

South African strains of this high are called ‘imbositis’. In addition to its many amazing health benefits, the two in the plant has also been credited with being effective in stopping tooth decay and helping with tooth sensitivity, as well as increasing sex drive and mood. This has been shown to be particularly true in South Africa where marijuana is the most commonly used drug. Although the effects of smoking marijuana regularly can cause tooth sensitivity to increase, the buds will counteract this by numbing the taste buds so that they do not receive any ‘hit’ (taste) from the smoke. If you live in a cold climate or have sensitive teeth, it could benefit from a visit to your dentist before investing in Power Plant.

South African Power Plant cannabis seeds are not widely available outside of the medical industry, which has created an incredible demand in the medical sphere. It has become extremely popular with growers and breeders who want to make a profit from the powerful properties that the cannabis plant has to offer. However, due to its unique qualities and the large quantities needed to make it commercially viable, the cost of getting hold of them has caused a large hike in its prices at seed level. Due to this increase in prices, many users have had to look elsewhere in order to acquire them, and the result has been an increase in imported Power Plant weed seeds.

One of the reasons that South African cannabis seeds are so hard to find locally is due to their transit method. In order for them to reach the consumer they must be shipped via the famous Kalahari desert route. Once there, they are covered with a thick blanket of sands which limit the plant‘s ability to absorb moisture or carbon dioxide from the air and therefore prevent them from flowering. As a result, they have to be harvested much later in order to remain alive during the flowering period. This makes it difficult for enthusiasts to obtain them, hence the high prices you will pay if you do manage to locate them.

In order to increase the chances of South African cannabis varieties being able to tolerate extreme weather conditions, farmers have been resorting to transplanting them outside of their native ranges. In order to do this, the buds have to be grown in sterile environments, such as test tubes indoors. The process also increases the potential for the buds to contain more resin and thus increase their shelf life. In the absence of high temperatures and too much humidity, the buds will tend to wither and die, forcing growers to replace them with a new variety.

When it comes to resins, South African Power Plant cannabis seeds are renowned for their high content of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinols (THC). These two chemicals play a vital role in marijuana’s healing properties, but they also make the panicky. To discourage rodents and insects from seeking to break the bundle, farmers place repellents on the tops of the plants. As such, the buds are rarely left alone during the entire growing season. Although they are famous, many people refrain from cultivating the weed due to their aggressive nature.

Despite being highly potent, South African power plant cannabis seeds may not be suited for all climates. If you are looking to grow the cannabis outdoors, it is advisable to purchase them already grown in small pots, rather than transplanting them from outdoors. It is also wise to avoid the hybrid variety when growing indoors. The same rule applies to Sativa cannabis seeds, which tend to have very low growing temperatures and poor light qualities, making it difficult for them to tolerate dry conditions.
