Origins & Lineage
Developed by Flash Seeds, Number One is a hybrid strain that merges ruderalis and indica genetics. This careful hybridization was intended to enhance auto-flowering capabilities and improve resilience, drawing from classic landrace varieties and modern indica cultivars. It gained popularity in Europe in the early 2000s before achieving international recognition.
Growing
The inclusion of ruderalis genetics makes Number One notably resilient, particularly to lower temperatures and shorter daylight periods, making it suitable for outdoor cultivation. This hybridization also contributes to a reduced flowering time compared to traditional indicas. The strain is known for consistent yields and robust growth patterns, making it a favorite among cultivators.
