Genetic history
Euphoria is the product of two unique parent strains called Shark Shock and Royal Mock. Both parents are well known for their unique characteristics in terms of profile and genetics. Royal Mock has a good composition of beneficial cannabinoids which gives it good effects. It is also a desirable strain to grow because it gives rise to a very good yield which makes it a favorite among growers. Shark Shock is a legendary strain since the 1900s that is easy to grow and has a good composition of cannabinoids as well.
Euphoria is Indica-dominant because it has 20% Sativa characteristics and 80% Indica characteristics. This makes the strain display many Indica characteristics during the growing stage and in terms of effects. This is also influenced by the 1:1 CBD and THC ratio which offers a considerable entourage effect. This ratio between the cannabinoids coupled with the Indica-dominant effects makes the strain very unique. The plant has a very good yield and growing pattern thus making its cultivation very straightforward and economically beneficial.
Cultivation
When it comes to growing euphoria, there are simple things to look out for and take note of. Euphoria is an example of a beneficial plant that can be grown anywhere because of its strength and resilience. It is a very adaptable plant that can be grown in different types of environmental conditions. This is due to the resilient characteristics inherited from the parent strains. Euphoria can easily be grown indoors or outdoors with slight differences in the yield from both.
When grown indoors, euphoria can grow as high as 60-100cm. Euphoria is not a very huge plant and at this height when grown indoors, there is no risk of overcrowding. Within a period of 8 weeks, the plant grown indoor gives a return within 450-500g/m2. When grown outdoors, euphoria can grow as high as 120-180cm which is a considerable difference from when it is grown indoors. With some mild pruning and LST methods, outdoor euphoria can give returns between 8 and 9 weeks. These returns can rise to 450-500gr/plant.
During cultivation, euphoria is very easy to take care of as only a minimal level of pruning is required. The strain has a magnificent outlook during the flowering stage. A purple hue covers the plant as it approaches maturity while the buds become denser with trichomes. The plant is not bushy so it does not overcrowd the grow area making it very easy to maintain.
Effects
The effects of euphoria are largely mediated by the 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC present in the strain. The strain has 9% of THC which gives rise to euphoric characteristics but this is accompanied by the effects of CBD. CBD balances the euphoric effects of THC by offering relaxation and balance to the mind. This effect of CBD also continues long after the euphoric effects of THC have worn off making it ideal for relaxation.
Euphoria has beneficial effects suitable both for the day and night. During the day, euphoria offers an alert mind capable of being active during the day at an optimum level. At night, euphoria helps to remove disturbances that may cloud the mind and creates a platform for quality sleep. The effects of CBD that continue long after the effect of THC have worn off improve the quality of sleep and can help with insomnia. The blend of the THC and CBD effects in Euphoria is very unique making it a very special strain.
Flavor and aroma
The effects of flavor and aroma in cannabis strains depends on the composition of terpenes and flavonoids. Euphoria comes from two-parent strains with a very strong deposition of terpenes and cannabinoids. This gives a sweet and sugary berry feel to the strain that is the appeal of many. Euphoria has a very impressive aroma which makes the smoking or vaping experience more enjoyable.
The berry aroma of euphoria is one of the initial characteristics that attract the majority of users. It gives a certain type of soothing feel while you enjoy the high that comes from the smoke.
