GRINGO… Essex’s newest, most demanded clone only strain – this could be the next exodus cheese in terms
of popularity!!!
It’s been about for a few years now, naturally it’s taken this time to make itself known, being
passed amoungst scores and scores of Essex cannabis growers. It originally comes from the Mayland area of
Essex as far as i can work out, but its now made its way all over Essex & a few samples even further afeild, demanding
some very high prices for properly grown/dried and cured buds.
It’s meant to be a cheese/haze pheno, i dont know how true this is, i can beleive it though. This isnt stinky on the cheese level,
or even psycosis cheese… this stuff STINKS when growing! You get a very oldskool skunk smell even from veg, during flowering these lovely plants
go through a few changes in smell, from sweet to sweet and skunky, almost turning slightly sour, STRONG skunk/cheese smell, with a strong
wet PVA glue smell by week 9 of flower. By week 10 – 11 in soil the Gringo is ready for harvest. The first wiff is pure SKUNK
cheese pong, and then the pva glue background smell comes through as an undertone. If you dont rub the plant, it has a slight
apple smell. The overtone being major skunk cheese. When dried and cured it smells very pungently when ground up, skunky,
earthy, very strong liquorice sweet fruit smells.
In my educated opinion the Gringo is indica dominant plant (around 60%) but grows with a sativa style leaf, very bushey growth with great bud sites, even
the lower buds can put on some serious weight! The effect when mature is definatly indica
in the main. – This strain is good for medical use, it’s particually good for treating depression, appetite problems, chronic nerve pain
(internal nerve pain) muscle spasms and inflamation (good for arthritis, gout)
The clones root easily within the first week. Then the clones are placed under 250watt white/blue CFL for another week or so.
As soon as the root ball is established you get explosive growth in the vegative phase, when switching to 12/12 it takes around 1 week to respond
to the photoperiod change and doesnt stretch too much. It is a 10 week flower strain (in soil, organically) – it’s a big yeilder, hard
dense nuggets, lots of small super crystally bud leaves to make good trim from (hash, oil, bubble hash, cannabutter) but with a great
calyx to leaf ratio.
I beleive this new clone only strain could easily be a big hitter with everyone, even on the other side of the pond.
I love skunk, cheese, and all the oldskool road kill skunk smells, cat piss smells etc… this strain has abit of them all.
If you live in Essex, England and you smoke, you almost certainly would of heard of
the strain "Gringo!" This is a good strain for first timers as it can take the usual
mistakes – high temps, over watering (not underwatering) and is very good at resisting mold/mildew. The plants structure from
clone is extrmely robust, excellent branching, but DOES need some tying up at the end of flowering because this is
from clone (and the
(only registered users can se the link, login or register) will be too) it has inherenty weak stems for the weight of the buds. You can also grow these small -
root the clones, veg for a week and bang it onto 12/12, even with less than good grow conditions you’ll be pulling off more than
auto cannabis strains – over 35G when dry from each mature miniture plant. We reccomend a good 4 week vegative phase for best yeilds.
I’ve put this together to quickly document the new English clone only strain called "Gringo" which is a fast growing,
heavy yeilding very smelly cannabis strain. Now there is accurate information about the strain, its growth habbits, its large
potential and some pictures. I hope google will pick this up, and i hope people will be directed here for any "Gringo cannabis enquiries" –
apart from two other website forum threads asking about it, theres nothing online about this brilliant strain. Well.. Now there is!
Keep a look and listen out, this might be the next big thing!!
