I thought some potential growers and smokers might use this report as there's very little info about this strain.
Name: Kerala Krush (Skunk #1 x Kerala)
Breeder: Flying Dutchman
Grown from: Regular seed
Grown how: Outdoor organically
Latitude: 45° N
Harvested: 21st October with 90% cloudy trichomes, some transparent and a touch of amber
Growing info: I germinated two freebie seeds with no problems by the end of May, but one plant was eaten by a cat. The other one was transplanted outdoor in late June after FIMming with success. In one month it's shown great vigour, but when it hit 3 feet vertical growth just stopped. As it's 87% sativa I was a little bit concerned, but on the other hand it started flowering by the end of August, when sativa traits became obvious: long, thin, light green leaves and lanky stem.
Unfortunately this strain is a pest magnet. The plant was eaten by every bug possible, even one top cola was lost and I had to practically trim four lower nodes (almost nothing was left there). She survived sprayed with tobacco juice, but caught mold after first October rains (although sprayed preventively with organic anti-fungal agent), so high humidity is a NO NO for this strain. This was handled by chopping off top cola, some smaller ones and spraying more with lactobacillus acidophilus, so she could have finished flowering.
In the end she was pulled after approximately 9 weeks of flowering, so quite fast for a sativa dominant strain), but yielded very little due to the problems experienced and poorly bred genetics. I believe this would be a good indoor choice if grower didn't mind low yield as the quality is there, smell is amazing and high is very nice.
Smell in early/middle flowering: Floral, zesty, lemony
Smell in late flowering and after harvest: Floral with strong lavender scent, lightly fruity with a musky udertone
Smell after drying: Cherry bubblegum (only this comes to my mind)
Smell after curing: Still don't know, but I expect this cherry scent to get even stronger
Taste: Smoked wood, sandal wood, heavy incense
High: Typical cerebral sativa, but with skunky amnesia "what whas I just thinking?" effect. Electric, uplifting, provoking big smile. This lasts around 1,5 hour up to 2 hours, but it might get better after a month or more of curing
Overall: Nice strain high wise, but with a lot of shitty traits, that make growing it quite difficult. Seeds are cheap though and if someone is interested in South Asian sativa genetics - Kerala in pure form needs 15-20 weeks to be ready - might give it a try.
