Marsh-mellow, a novel hybrid, was originally bred by Lovin’ in Her Eyes, and isn’t available as feminized seeds. Before we delve into the genetics, we need to bring you up to speed with certain breeding terminology. The designation “F1” refers to the “First Filial Generation”, which is the progeny resulting from a cross between two genetically distinct parental plants. Marsh-mellow is derived from Marshmellow OG, classified as a Bx1 strain. This indicates that the F1 progeny has been backcrossed, denoted as “Bx”, with one of the original parent plants, thereby reinforcing certain desired traits. This particular cultivation of Marsh-mellow features a THC content of 17.5%.
Its genetic lineage can be traced to first-generation progenitors such as Chemdog, Triangle Kush, and Jetfuel Gelato, revealing the heritage of the motley terpenes Cannaseurs are in store for. The strain’s effects suggest a predominance of Indica genetics, possibly nearing 100%, as evidenced by its severe sedative properties.
A comparative analysis with Magic Marker reveals that Marsh-mellow possesses a similar olfactory profile, characterized by robust terpene notes of pine, diesel, licorice, and citrus. The floral structure is loosely arranged, displaying a light green coloration and an abundance of orange pistils. While trichomes on the surface are somewhat sparse, an inward inspection reveals a remarkable crystalline presence. Extensive trimming has unfortunately obscured the flower’s natural architecture, rendering detailed commentary on its original form unfeasible.
Upon combustion, Marsh-mellow yields a remarkably smooth toke, with an unexpectedly intense nutty butter flavor quickly becoming apparent. The resinous nature of the strain necessitates caution for those who prefer to smoke (rather than vaping or dabbing), as it may potentially lead to obstruction of smoking apparatuses. The initial physiological effects are characterized by an intense sensation of inebriation, cognitive impairment, lethargy, xerostomia (aka dry mouth) and pronounced sedation, culminating in a vast reduction in libido. It’s not recommended for social engagements nor date night, for that matter, but rather suited to solitary contemplation and stillness. Users are strongly advised against operating machinery due to the depth of sedation induced, comparable to the lethargy observed in sloths.
Despite the aforementioned effects, Marsh-mellow exhibits further therapeutic efficacy, notably in significantly stimulating appetite and alleviating pain, stress, and anxiety, without triggering paranoia. It is a perfect candidate for the production of medicinal extracts such as Rick Simpson (Cancer) Oil. Additionally, Marsh-mellow incites humorous flights of fancy, so be prepared to enjoy a goofy giggle, all to your ludicrously medicated self.
The product includes a 58% relative humidity (RH) terpene shield within its corked glass jar packaging. Maintaining moisture levels is central to preserving the terpenes and overall potency of the flower. These shields are designed to regulate moisture content within the container, thereby preventing degradation and the formation of dreaded mould.
