Roughneck
Roughneck Strain Overview
Roughneck is a hybrid strain created by Centennial Seeds from crossing Jamaican Lambsbread and the Purple Rhino IBL. The result is a powerful Sativa-dominant hybrid that expresses beautiful purple hues and a delicious, somewhat savory bouquet. With its heavy Sativa influence, the effects are very strong and markedly stimulating. This strain emerged from the medical cannabis breeding movement of the early 2000s when Centennial Seeds was founded in August 2009 with the aim of developing and producing high quality cannabis seeds for medical purposes. The founder had been breeding and perfecting his seed production methods, early on recognising the value of preserving geographically isolated 'landrace' strains for use as breeding parents. Roughneck represents an intersection of classic cannabis genetics: Jamaican Lambsbread is thought to be a Sativa-dominant variety from Jamaica that Bob Marley popularized and is widely regarded as a Jamaican landrace-type sativa. The Purple Rhino parent provides an indica-dominant hybrid strain that is a cross between Mendocino Purps and White Rhino. However, there are documented issues with hermaphroditism in some phenotypes, with growers reporting problematic hermaphrodite tendencies that can compromise grows.

Roughneck Strain Growing Information
The plant is easy to grow and very productive. Flowering time: 9 - 10 weeks. However, growers should be aware that this strain has documented problems with hermaphroditism, with reports of extensive male flowers developing throughout the plant during flowering. Plants start out growing very well but problems begin occurring when flowering starts. Due to these genetic stability issues, even the breeder Ben at Centennial acknowledged it was an issue but still sells the seeds. Best grown by experienced cultivators who can monitor for and manage hermaphrodite development. Indoor cultivation is recommended for better environmental control.
