Sweet Island Feminized

Native to Vancouver Island, Canada, Sweet Island has spread its reach worldwide to become one of the most sought-after Sativa-dominant strains of all. This hybrid of legendary Skunk #1 and Sweet Pink Grapefruit has an aroma and flavor that will intoxicate your senses with sweet fruit. With a THC level of 19%, it delivers an upbeat and euphoric high followed by a mild body stone. Though it has less than 1% CBD, it has enormous therapeutic benefit. Aside from being an antidepressant and anxiolytic, it may also be used as an alternative for painkillers.  

Marijuana cultivators who already have a bit of gardening experience will find it easy to grow Sweet Island Fem. Beginners can also make this plant thrive with the help of some tips and tricks. This strain has a hardy personality, so an indoor or outdoor environment can both work. Its nutrient and watering requirements are not very meticulous. But above all, it has a swift period, especially compared to other Sativa-dominant varietals.

Unlike its ancestors Sweet Pink Grapefruit and Skunk, it is not an exceptionally high yielder. Regardless, its ambrosial dense buds more than make up for it. The beautiful long flowers are bright green and covered with pinkish orange hairs. Heavy trichome production give them the appearance of tiny snow cones. These features are sure to satisfy any pot enthusiast.

These feminized cultivars are suitable for either hydroponic or soil propagation. Organic soil is the better choice to magnify the terpene profile. The microorganisms it contains not only improve the ganja’s fragrance and flavor, but they also boost the plant’s immune system. On the other hand, growing in water will encourage more vigorous vegetation since the nutrients are delivered directly to the roots. 

If Sweet Island Fem is cultivated indoors, the flowering period will run for about 8 to 10 weeks. For outdoor cultivation, you can start gathering the buds in October.

To help Sweet Island Fem thrive indoors, provide a larger grow tent or a room with a high ceiling. But if you can’t, don’t worry because there is a way to control the plant’s height by maneuvering the stalks to extend laterally instead of vertically. This is the Screen of Green (SCROG) method. Combine it with pruning and topping, and you can even enhance bud production. With even light distribution and ample air circulation, you can expect a yield of approximately 300 grams per square meter (11 ounces).

For optimum results, maintain the temperature between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius (68 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit), and keep the relative humidity (RH) level at 40 to 50. A pH level of 5.5 to 6.5 is best for a hydroponic setup, while 6.0 to 7.0 is appropriate for soil.

Since Sweet Island Fem tends to grow tall, the great outdoors is an excellent place to cultivate it. However, make sure that the climate is suitable. This strain favors a warm, dry, and temperate environment similar to the Mediterranean. If exposed to adequate sunlight, each plant can reach about 120 cm (4 feet) in height and yield 200 grams of aromatic nugs. Usually, the harvesting period begins in the first week of October.

On the medicinal front, Sweet Island has a couple of things going for it that contribute to its immense benefits – the 19% THC level and the terpene profile. The synergistic combination of these can address a myriad of health concerns. With its antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, this strain may be an aid to users with generalized anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Simultaneously, its ability to improve focus could assist patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADD.

Moving on to this herb’s physical advantages, it exhibits long-lasting anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy. Patients who suffer from chronic pains like backaches, arthritis, migraines, muscle spasms, and nerve pains may find comfort in it. It also contains muscle-relaxing compounds to help dissolve tension and relieve fatigue.

Furthermore, its appetite-boosting impacts also give it value among users with eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia. It may be used as an alternative antiemetic drug for chemotherapy patients struggling with nausea and vomiting.

Despite having a delectably sweet flavor and containing an “average” THC level, Sweet Island can still overpower neophytes. It is recommended to leave higher doses to the veterans. Otherwise, adverse reactions like anxiety, paranoia, and headaches may transpire.

Apart from that, the side effects of moderate consumption are usually limited to cotton mouth and dry eyes. To ease these minor inconveniences, keep yourself hydrated and apply eye drops liberally.

As a 70% Sativa strain, Sweet Island fuels an energetic high. Just a few seconds after the first toke, the mind will receive a jolt of vitality. This effect will invigorate and motivate you to tackle your work tasks and household chores.

But if you would rather hang out with family and friends, then that’s fine, too. This strain makes such gatherings more enjoyable by melting away your worries and inhibitions and even inducing giggle fits. Mealtimes will also be more delightful when you get an attack of the munchies.

As the buzz fades, you will enter a calm and mellow state. You will not be couch-locked, and you will retain your mental agility. Because of these effects, you can smoke this weed any time of the day – in the morning or if you need a mid-afternoon shot in the arm.

If you think Sweet Island doesn’t smell anything like its name because of the presence of Skunk, you would be wrong. It has an aroma true to its Sweet Pink Grapefruit heritage, joined by mildly pungent and woodsy tones.

Once the buds are lit, your lungs will be filled with creamy and velvety smoke. It will taste like sugared fruit with a hint of skunkiness.

Are you looking to augment your stash with the likes of Sweet Island Fem? Try Green Crack x Core Fem. Famous rapper Snoop Dogg coined the name “Green Crack” for a strain with effects similar to the narcotic drug. It was then crossed with Core to produce an incredible Sativa hybrid with an 18% THC level. Its buds have citrus, pine, and wood flavors that are simply unforgettable. They also feature an invigorating high that will get you up and going in no time. It also is a powerful tool against depression and stress.

Or, how about Bruce Banner x Kali Mist Fem? Two superstar strains combined to create this gem of a hybrid. Tracing back its origins, this ganja carries OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel genes in its veins. The result is an absolute monster in terms of potency and general enjoyment. Leaning toward the Sativa side of the scale, it contains 21% THC, making it an effective treatment for everyday stress, anxiety, and depression. When it comes to the fragrance and flavor profile, this strain boasts an irresistible citrus fragrance with hints of diesel and earth.

But if you want an almost-pure Sativa, check out Neville’s Haze Fem. Marijuana enthusiasts will always be grateful to the King of Cannabis for creating it. By blending the genes of the Sativa Haze and the Indica Northern Lights #5, he crafted an energizing, motivating weed that can be grown successfully in a wide range of environments. This High Times Cannabis Cup awardee has 21% THC to alleviate depression, anxiety, and pain. Furthermore, it has a wonderful honey and lemon flavor that is the perfect tonic at the start of the day.

For a balanced high, however, you can’t go wrong with Skunk #1 Fem. Although its THC level at 17% is not particularly high by today’s standards, a little goes a long way. A puff or two will send you into a state of euphoria, melting worries away. You may experience some giggling fits and become a bit friendlier than usual. You will still have your wits about you, but at the same time, you will delve into a relaxed calmness that will set your mind at ease. Since its inception in the 1970s, it has proven to be a reliable go-to strain for medical applications and potent psychoactive effects.

Nevertheless, if you’ve had a rough day and just want something to knock you out, go for Gorilla Glue #4 Fem. This Cannabis Cup winner is known for its astronomical 27% level of THC. Parented by Chem Sis, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, GG4 has a sweet berry scent that lingers after a whiff of a deep woody, pine fragrance. It is highly sought-after for its ability to soothe stress, relieve pain, and induce sleep. This strain will start you off on a cerebral high and then leave you so relaxed that you’ll be gorilla-glued to the couch.

Because Sweet Island has been around for a long time, it has gathered a bunch of nicknames and aliases. It goes by the names Island Sweet Skunk, Sweet Island Skunk, and ISS.
