A legendary commercial marijuana strain, this medium height, not too dense cannabis plant is the perfect combination of good yield and excellent quality. Marijuana smokers that know and grow; choose this plant for its combination of appearance and sweet smell. With its cannabis indica background the Chronic marijuana plant can produce up to 600 g/m2 of marijuana buds without losing that connoisseur feeling.

 Grows a single huge central bud with few side branches. Do not top plants to encourage multiple big buds, as this strain does not respond well. Mild, sweet smell develops while flowering, take care to dry thoroughly after harvest (before packaging) to maintain the subtle fragrance.
