Afternoon Delight
Afternoon Delight
Also known as: Afternoon Delite
Overview
Afternoon Delight, also known as "Afternoon Delite," is a hybrid marijuana strain created by Colorado Seed Inc. Noted for its small, dense nuggets and an aroma of pine and pungent terpenes, Afternoon Delight is described as an indica-dominant hybrid with a hazy aura that engulfs the mind and body. The strain boasts a complex genetic lineage that includes Banana Kush, Schrom, and Tangie, developed by Crocket Family Farms through meticulous crossbreeding. This strain's heritage is a tapestry of diverse cannabis genetics, combining elements from California Orange, Skunk #1, Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Thai strains. This rich background contributes to its classification as a sativa dominant hybrid, known for offering a relaxing and sedating experience to its users. However, there appears to be some confusion as multiple phenotypes exist, with Afternoon Delight #4 being a balanced hybrid strain created by crossing two hybrids: GMO and Trophy Wife. The strain was originally bred by Colorado Seed Inc. but was popularized by RYTHM. The visual allure of the Afternoon Delight strain is immediately evident, highlighted by its lime green buds adorned with white trichomes and amber brown hairs. These neon green nugs present a visually striking and appealing aspect that hints at the strain's high quality and potency.

Growing Information
The flowering time of Afternoon Delight is approximately eight to 10 weeks indoors. The strain flowers outdoors from mid-to-late October. Seeds for Afternoon Delight are hard to come by, which is why this can be a difficult plant to grow (you need to find a supplier first). The reason behind the difficulty in obtaining the seed is that the plant is not easy to grow and is recommended to those who have grown marijuana and understand the various issues that can arise. As it can be a finicky grower, it is important to pay Afternoon Delight plants a lot of attention by pruning regularly and topping to ensure that it grows in a smaller space (increasing the flowering potential). This plant grows best under the "screen of green" technique, which means installing a lattice above the canopy and weaving branches into it. For growers, expect a slower veg stage with the Afternoon Delight. However, once it begins flowering, its maturation should catch up, so its overall grow-to- harvest period is relatively standard. Difficulty level: Intermediate to advanced. Best suited for experienced growers due to its finicky nature and specific environmental requirements.
