Eclipse
Eclipse
Also known as: The Eclipse
Overview
Eclipse is a slightly sativa-dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created through a powerful cross of Bubble Gum 95 and Hindu Kush #12. Originally bred by Homegrown Fantaseeds, this strain emerged from the Amsterdam seed company's experimental breeding program that paired a Bubble Gum cut from '95 and a twelfth generation Hindu Kush plant to create an incredibly fruity and flavorful sativa dominant hybrid. Eclipse represents a unique genetic combination that appeals to cannabis enthusiasts seeking both the uplifting cerebral effects of sativa genetics and the physical relaxation associated with indica heritage. The strain exhibits indica-like structure while still retaining sativa growth patterns, making it particularly suitable for indoor cultivation where space considerations are important. Eclipse buds have small to medium-sized hairy pebble-shaped forest green nugs that are covered with dark olive green leaves and fiery orange furry hairs, with each nug having a fine layer of almost translucent trichomes and a thick layer of sweet sticky resin.

Growing Information
Eclipse can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks). This strain is a great choice for any home grower, especially one who wants to grow a sativa-dominant variety but for whom space is an issue. A SOG (Sea of Green) setup can help get the best out of this plant and manage growth while maximizing yield. Eclipse thrives in hydroponic setups and can be beautiful in organic soil grows, requiring a solid 8 weeks of growth before harvest readiness. The flowering period can be extended to 10 weeks if desired, but any longer is somewhat pointless as resin production peaks in the 8th week. This strain is especially stinky when it reaches maturity, so proper filtering with carbon filters is necessary. The strain is considered moderately challenging to grow and benefits from consistent environmental controls.
