When it comes to cannabis cultivation, the flowering time is a crucial factor that significantly influences the quality, potency, and overall experience of the final product. While many strains typically flower in 7 to 9 weeks, Pepe Cannabis’ 11 Week Pink strain takes things a step further with an extended 11-week flowering period. This longer flowering time, combined with meticulous curing practices, results in a superior strain with enhanced flavour, aroma, and effects. Here’s how Pepe Cannabis elevates cannabis cultivation through its unique approach.
Understanding the Cannabis Flowering Process
Flowering is the stage in cannabis cultivation where the plants begin to produce buds. This process usually lasts between 7 to 9 weeks for most strains, but some cultivators, like Pepe Cannabis, allow their plants to flower for up to 11 weeks. This extended flowering time enables the buds to fully mature, resulting in more complex terpene profiles and increased cannabinoid content.
While flowering time is critical, the curing process that follows is equally important. At Pepe Cannabis, the buds are carefully dried and cured in a controlled environment to preserve the quality developed during the extended flowering stage. The result is a cannabis product that stands out in terms of flavour, smoothness, and potency.
Benefits of an Extended 11-Week Flowering Period
-
Enhanced Flavour and Aroma: Allowing the plants to flower for 11 weeks provides more time for terpenes—the compounds responsible for the strain's flavour and aroma—to develop fully. This results in richer, more robust flavour profiles that set 11 Week Pink apart from other strains.
-
Improved Potency: The longer flowering time allows cannabinoids like THC and CBD to reach their peak levels. This contributes to a more potent and consistent product that offers reliable effects with every use.
-
Richer Terpene Profiles: Extended flowering fosters a more diverse and complex mix of terpenes, enhancing both the aroma and therapeutic properties of the strain. For example, 11 Week Pink features terpenes like Limonene, Trans-Caryophyllene, Farnesene, and Humulene, which contribute to its unique sweet, diesel, earthy, and piney flavour.
-
More Developed Bud Structure: Buds from plants that flower longer tend to be denser and more resinous, which translates to a higher quality smoking experience. These fully matured buds offer a superior look, feel, and smoke that connoisseurs appreciate.
Pepe Cannabis’ 11 Week Pink Strain
Pepe Cannabis’ 11 Week Pink is an indica-dominant strain (90% indica, 10% sativa) created from Bubba Kush and Pink Kush. The extended flowering time plays a pivotal role in developing the strain’s signature effects—deep relaxation, stress relief, and a calming body high that makes it ideal for evening use.
-
Flavour Profile: The 11 Week Pink delivers a distinctive sweet, gassy funk, rounded out with earthy and piney notes. This complex profile is a direct result of the strain’s extended flowering period, which allows terpenes to mature and blend for a multi-layered sensory experience.
-
High Potency: With THC levels ranging from 24-33%, 11 Week Pink offers a powerful and long-lasting effect. The extended flowering helps maximize cannabinoid content, ensuring a strong and consistent high.
-
Classic Indica Effects: Known for its potent indica effects, 11 Week Pink is perfect for those looking to unwind, relieve stress, or aid with sleep. Its consistent and reliable effects make it a favourite among indica enthusiasts.
Meticulous Curing Process
After harvesting, 11 Week Pink undergoes a meticulous curing process that further enhances its quality. The buds are cured in 55-gallon barrels with a controlled environment of 55-62% relative humidity and 55-60°F. This careful curing helps preserve terpenes, stabilise cannabinoids, and ensure the perfect smoking experience at 10-12% moisture content every time.
Each bag of flower is hand-sorted, hand-packed, and includes a humidity pack to protect against terpene loss and maintain overall quality. This commitment to detail ensures that every batch of 11 Week Pink delivers an exceptional experience.
