Maxi Gom by Grassomatic
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Maxi Gom is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Grassomatic, a Spanish breeder recognized for creating reliable, high-yielding autoflowering varieties. This cultivar combines the convenience of ruderalis genetics with the desirable traits of indica and sativa, aiming for increased plant size and enhanced organoleptic qualities compared to earlier autoflowers.
Appearance
Maxi Gom plants typically grow to heights between 70 to 110 cm indoors and up to 120 cm outdoors. The structure is semi-compact, characterized by a prominent central cola and several productive side branches. Moderate internode spacing facilitates airflow, while dense flowers form along the main stem. Buds are often chunky and conical, with calyxes swelling significantly near harvest. Trichome density is notably high for an autoflower, giving the mature buds a frosty sheen.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Maxi Gom is predominantly sweet, featuring ripe fruit notes layered over herbal and woody undertones. Common scent profiles include mango, sweet citrus, and melon, sometimes with a subtle peppery spice. Upon curing, a candy-like sweetness can become more pronounced. The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering sweet tropical fruit on the inhale with a bright citrus rind quality, followed by a gentle herbal-woody exhale and a lingering peppery-floral aftertaste.
Effects
Maxi Gom is reported to provide a balanced experience, inducing a sense of calm and promoting focus. Its effects are generally considered accessible, making it suitable for various users. The strain's balanced genetic profile contributes to a well-rounded impact that can be appreciated for both its relaxing and mentally clarifying qualities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages are not detailed, Maxi Gom is classified as moderate-to-strong for an autoflower of its generation, with THC levels ranging from 15-25% and CBD below 1%. The terpene profile commonly includes Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor, with Caryophyllene adding peppery notes, Limonene providing citrus, and Myrcene contributing to the fruity and herbal aspects.
Growing
As an autoflower, Maxi Gom flowers independently of light cycles, typically completing its lifecycle from seed to harvest in 65 to 80 days. It exhibits a friendly growth habit, tolerating minor cultivation errors. Indoor yields can range from 400 to 550 grams per square meter, with outdoor yields between 60 to 150 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plant structure is semi-compact, making it suitable for various growing environments, including smaller spaces.
Origins & Lineage
Maxi Gom was developed by Grassomatic, a Spanish breeder known for pioneering stable, high-yielding autoflowering strains. It is classified as a ruderalis/indica/sativa hybrid. The ruderalis component provides its autoflowering trait, while indica and sativa genetics contribute to its plant structure, yield, and organoleptic profile. While specific parentage is not publicly detailed, its characteristics are sometimes compared to productive European indica-sativa hybrids crossed with stabilized ruderalis lines.
