Genetics & Origin of Yikes
For Yikes, Exotic Genetix brought together two respected US lines. Lemon Cherry Gelato served as the mother plant and Falcon-9 as the pollen donor – as a reversal, to be precise. That means: a female plant was induced to form pollen, so that the cross produces feminised seeds. The breeder writes that the cross was developed specifically to combine the outstanding traits of both elite lines; it does not spell out what these are in detail. Exotic Genetix simply calls Yikes a hybrid; beyond that, it is given as Indica-dominant. The breeder does not state values for THC and CBD. The seeds are photoperiod, so flowering only begins after the light cycle is switched to 12/12. You will also find a Lemon Cherry Gelato as a strain in its own right in our range.
Who Is Yikes For?
Yikes is a cross for friends of modern US genetics with a manageable flowering time. It suits:
- Fans of Gelato crosses from American breeders
- Collectors of strains from the Exotic Genetix catalogue
- Indoor growers who plan for around 8 to 9 weeks of flowering
- Lovers of sweet, fruity aromas with a citrus note
- Growers who would like to pick a favourite from six feminised seeds
If you need documented figures for THC and yield before buying, you will not find them here – the breeder does not state them. You can find more Indica-leaning strains under Indica strains.
Growing Yikes: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
The flowering time of Yikes is given as 55 to 65 days, which is around 8 to 9 weeks after the switch to 12/12; in the shop the strain is accordingly rated at 8 to 10 weeks. Exotic Genetix does not state a growth height in centimetres, a yield in g/m² or tips on training. As a photoperiod strain, Yikes can be adapted to the available space through the length of the vegetative phase. Because hardly any growing data is documented, it is worth watching for differences in growth and ripening when you have several plants and judging readiness for harvest by the trichomes. A carbon filter keeps the smell under control during flowering. You will find the basics on climate and light in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Yikes is rated for growing both indoors and outdoors; in the shop, harvest outdoors is classified for October. The breeder does not state a more precise date, a growth height or a yield per plant. For a harvest in October you need a sunny, sheltered spot where the flowers stay dry in autumn. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Yikes
The aroma of Yikes is described as sweet and fruity, accompanied by a citrus note. Individual terpenes or a lab terpene profile are not given. Exotic Genetix itself does not describe flavour or effect in any detail and does not state a THC value either; we therefore do not add any estimates. Yikes is given as an Indica-dominant hybrid – what that means for the effect in detail is not documented. There may also be differences in scent and strength between individual plants. When trying it for the first time, start with a small amount and wait to see how the strain affects you. How intense the effect is depends on phenotype, harvest time, dose and personal tolerance.
Note: Effect information is based on manufacturer data and user experience and does not constitute medical advice.
