Desserts of the Silk Road Strain Overview
Desserts of the Silk Road is a relatively rare cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix, known for creating unique and flavorful cultivars. The strain's name references the historical Silk Road trade routes that connected East and West, suggesting a blend of diverse genetic influences. It was created by crossing two notable parent strains, resulting in a hybrid that combines desirable traits from both indica and sativa lineages.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep purple and forest green hues, often accented with vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training).

Desserts of the Silk Road Strain Growing Information
Desserts of the Silk Road is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during late flowering to enhance coloration.
