What is the Paramount strain?

Paramount is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

Paramount is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains Grease Monkey and The Menthol, resulting in a unique genetic profile that combines indica and sativa characteristics. Paramount first gained attention in the mid-2010s and has since become known for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's name reflects its premium quality and the exceptional experience it provides to users.

The appearance of Paramount buds is typically dense and resinous, with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance. The nugs are often medium to large in size, featuring a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that develop under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the dense flower structure. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's generous resin production, making it popular among concentrate producers.

Paramount is characterized by its complex terpene profile that creates a unique sensory experience. The strain is known for producing moderate to high yields when cultivated properly, and it has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental stimulation. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, Paramount has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among users who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor complexity.

How do you grow Paramount?

Paramount is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more 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 the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.

Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm under optimal conditions. Yield expectations are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant. Paramount responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and manage height.

Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the strain can be sensitive to environmental fluctuations. Proper nutrient management is important, particularly during the flowering phase when the plant's resin production increases significantly. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, especially given the strain's dense bud structure which can create microclimates prone to moisture retention.
