Astaphanos
Also known as: Astafanos
Astaphanos Strain Overview
Astaphanos is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Gnostic Seeds, bred through a complex lineage of elite genetics. This strain is the result of crossing Chemtrails (Chem 91' x Green Ribbon BX) with Gorilla Wreck (GG4 x Arcata Trainwreck BXIII). Named after one of the mysterious Archon Demons in Gnostic mythology, Astaphanos brings together potency and terpene content to provide a true connoisseur experience. The Chemtrails mother plant was gifted to Gnostic Seeds in 2014 as part of a limited release from Exotic Genetix, selected for its Chem 91' dominant characteristics, then bred with pollen from their Gorilla Wreck stud to preserve the amazing specimen for future generations of growers.
This strain represents a convergence of legendary genetics, combining the cerebral euphoria and diesel aromas of the Chem 91 lineage with the balanced effects of Green Ribbon and the potent, resinous qualities of Gorilla Wreck. Astaphanos grows best as a multi-topped bush and stays in the medium height range, making it suitable for various cultivation setups. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks) and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Growers can expect large harvests of citrus and pine-scented flowers with great color combinations, reflecting the diverse terpene profile inherited from its distinguished parent strains.
