Believe It Or Not by Sterquiliniis Seed Supply
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Believe It Or Not is a hybrid cultivar developed by Sterquiliniis Seed Supply, notable for its experimental breeding approach. It aims to integrate traits from ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics, resulting in a multifaceted strain. This creation is recognized for its compelling effects, aromas, and a significant terpene expression.
Appearance
Believe It Or Not plants exhibit a robust and symmetrical structure, indicative of their hybrid vigor. They typically develop a dense canopy with buds that are medium to large in size and noticeably sticky due to a generous coating of trichomes. The buds often display vivid green hues, sometimes interspersed with subtle purple or orange coloration, and appear almost frosted under magnification.
The plant's morphology balances sativa's more open structure with indica's dense bud formation, appealing to cultivators for both ease of trimming and yield potential.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Believe It Or Not is a complex blend characterized by earthy and spicy notes, complemented by subtle floral undertones. Expert reviews often note hints of pine, citrus, and a whisper of sweet berry within its fragrance. This aromatic profile is largely attributed to its rich terpene composition.
The flavor mirrors the aroma, delivering a smooth and gently complex taste experience. Spicy undertones seamlessly integrate with hints of sweetness, creating a palate that enhances the overall consumption, making it a recognized strain for stress relief.
Effects
This hybrid strain is reported to provide a balanced set of effects, combining physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation. Users may experience a sense of calm and focus, leading to a euphoric and creative state. The energetic properties are generally described as uplifting rather than overwhelming.
The combination of its genetic heritage and terpene profile contributes to a well-rounded experience that can be both mentally engaging and physically soothing, making it suitable for various consumption needs.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Believe It Or Not is distinguished by its significant terpene profile, with dominant compounds including linalool, caryophyllene, humulene, and myrcene. These terpenes are believed to be responsible for the strain's characteristic aroma, flavor, and therapeutic properties. Linalool, known for its floral scent, is thought to contribute to anti-anxiety benefits, while caryophyllene and humulene add spicy nuances and potential anti-inflammatory effects. Myrcene is associated with relaxation.
The cannabinoid profile typically features THC levels ranging from 18% to 22%, positioning it as moderately potent. CBD concentrations are generally low, often between 0.2% and 0.8%. This composition supports its psychoactive and creative effects, with the minor cannabinoids and terpenes potentially working synergistically via the entourage effect.
Growing
The genetic makeup of Believe It Or Not, incorporating ruderalis traits, contributes to an accelerated flowering time and robust growth patterns. Breeders have focused on developing a strain with adaptable genetic structure, ensuring reliable performance across various environments. Its hybrid vigor allows for ease of cultivation for both commercial growers and hobbyists.
Optimal indoor setups have been reported to yield approximately 500 grams per square meter. The plant's morphology, influenced by both indica and sativa genetics, results in dense buds and a manageable structure, appealing to cultivators seeking distinct and measurable performance characteristics.
Origins & Lineage
Believe It Or Not was developed by Sterquiliniis Seed Supply as an experimental creation, drawing from classical breeding techniques and modern hybridization methods. The strain's lineage is a deliberate fusion of ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics, estimated to comprise approximately 20% ruderalis, 40% indica, and 40% sativa traits.
This unique blend was envisioned to capture the hardiness of ruderalis, the relaxing effects of indica, and the uplifting properties of sativa, aiming for a multifaceted cultivar with compelling effects and aromas. It gained prominence through word-of-mouth and accolades for its terpene content and balanced cannabinoid profile.
