Manufacturer Information
Genetics & Origin of Desperado
Desperado is a joint project by T.H. Seeds and Symbiotic Genetics. One parent is Amarelo #9 from Symbiotic Genetics, the other a Pure Afghan from the house of T.H. Seeds. The breeder says more about the parents than about the cross itself: it describes Amarelo #9 as a vigorous, Sativa-dominant plant with notes of lemon, banana and piña colada that is valued above all as a hash strain. In its words, the Pure Afghan contributes plant, leaf and flower structure and brings good resistance to mould and pests. T.H. Seeds does not quantify how these traits are distributed in Desperado – the manufacturer states neither an Indica/Sativa ratio nor a THC value. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, and the edition is limited. Another limited edition from the breeder is Green Candy Apple.
Who Is Desperado For?
Desperado is aimed at experienced growers and at collectors of special genetics. It suits:
- Experienced growers who would like to grow a limited collaboration strain
- Lovers of citrus aromas with an earthy Afghan note
- Extract fans for whom high resin production matters
- Indoor growers who prefer medium-sized, well-branched plants
- Outdoor gardeners in warm, sunny locations
Desperado is less suitable if you want to plan with fixed figures for flowering time and yield – the breeder does not state them. You can find more crosses with an American background under US Genetics.
Growing Desperado: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
For growing under artificial light, T.H. Seeds describes vigorous, sturdy growth with good branching and even flower development; the plants stay medium-sized. As a photoperiod strain, Desperado only flowers after the switch to 12/12. The breeder does not state a flowering time in days or weeks – in the shop the strain is rated at 8 to 10 weeks, which is to be understood only as an approximation. The height in centimetres and the yield per square metre also remain open. So judge ripeness by the trichomes rather than by the calendar. The dense, resinous flowers benefit from good air movement in the final weeks. You will find the basics on climate and training in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, the manufacturer speaks of robust plants with good adaptability and recommends warm, sunny climate zones above all. T.H. Seeds does not give a harvest date, a height or a yield per plant. Whether Desperado ripens in time in your region therefore cannot be read from the breeder's information; a sheltered spot in full sun or a greenhouse provides additional security. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Desperado
T.H. Seeds describes the aroma as multi-layered: fruity citrus notes and exotic, sweet nuances lie over an earthy Afghan base with a light spiciness. For the parents, the breeder cites lemon, banana and piña colada for Amarelo #9 and a spicy, hashy aroma for the Pure Afghan. The manufacturer does not state a lab terpene profile. It describes the effect of Desperado as powerful and balanced – euphoric and mood-lifting, at the same time physically relaxing, calm and long-lasting. T.H. Seeds does not give a THC value but speaks of modern potency; so start with a small amount. How intense the effect is depends on dose and individual tolerance.
