The Force Levitation Stephen Hawking Kush X Blue Magoo
Stephen Hawking Kush × Blue Magoo
The Force - Levitation is a boutique indica hybrid resulting from a cross between Stephen Hawking Kush and Blue Magoo. It aims to combine therapeutic potential with classic kush flavors, offering a balanced experience that can soothe without complete sedation.
Appearance
Buds are typically medium-dense, often forming golf-ball to egg-shaped flowers. Cooler temperatures during late flowering can encourage the development of lavender and deep blue hues, particularly on the sugar leaf margins. Pistils range from light tangerine to amber, set against a backdrop of silver-white trichomes. The overall appearance can vary from emerald green to deep blue-green, often with striking color contrast when properly dried.
The calyx-to-leaf ratio is generally favorable, making for efficient trimming. Flowers tend to be sticky to the touch, with prominent trichome heads visible under magnification. Average top-cola dry weight in optimized indoor conditions typically falls between 2 to 6 grams per main cola.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a strong blueberry jam core, complemented by notes of grape candy and a subtle vanilla cream. Underlying this are earthy kush tones, hints of pine needles, and a faint peppery spice. As the flowers cure, secondary aromas of floral lavender and fresh-cut wood may emerge. Some phenotypes exhibit brighter, lemon-zest notes. Grinding intensifies the fruity notes, revealing a hashy, incense-like base.
On the inhale, flavors often lead with blueberry preserves and sugared violet, followed by pine resin and kush spice, creating a smooth, creamy mid-palate. The exhale consolidates into peppery, earthy notes with a cushioned hash finish. A sweet aftertaste may linger, sometimes with a faint anise or grape-peel bitterness.
Effects
The Force - Levitation is noted for its capacity to soothe without causing heavy sedation at moderate doses, though it can offer significant couch-lock potential when consumed in larger amounts. Its nickname, Levitation, hints at an experience that is both uplifting and grounding. It is reported to promote a sense of calm and can also foster creativity and focus.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Total terpene content typically ranges from 1.5 to 3.0 percent. Common terpenes include Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Alpha-Pinene, and Linalool. The cannabinoid profile can vary, with phenotypes potentially falling into THC-dominant, balanced THC:CBD, or CBD-leaning categories. THC levels can range from approximately 14-22% in THC-dominant types, while CBD can be present in significant amounts in other phenotypes, often alongside more modest THC levels. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are usually present in smaller quantities.
Growing
This hybrid is expected to grow into a medium-height plant with moderate stretching during flowering. It typically exhibits sturdy lateral branching and develops dense, resinous colas. Growers may need to monitor for magnesium sensitivity and a predisposition toward powdery mildew, especially in high-humidity environments, which are traits inherited from the Blue Magoo parentage. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, aiding in efficient trimming.
Flowering time is not explicitly stated but is generally moderate for indica hybrids. Yields are considered moderate to good, with optimized indoor conditions commonly producing 2 to 6 grams per top for well-trained plants. Attention to airflow and defoliation is important for managing potential issues like popcorn formation.
Origins & Lineage
The Force - Levitation is a hybrid cross of Stephen Hawking Kush and Blue Magoo. Stephen Hawking Kush is known for its CBD-rich genetics, often stemming from crosses involving Harle-Tsu and kush-leaning indica varieties. Blue Magoo, an Oregon-bred cultivar, is typically traced back to DJ Short Blueberry and a William's Wonder descendant, contributing berry-dessert aromas and resin production.
This cross was developed to combine the desirable terpene profile and resin coverage of Blue Magoo with the therapeutic potential and balanced cannabinoid ratios often found in Stephen Hawking Kush. The intention is to create a strain with enhanced flavor complexity and a nuanced psychoactive experience.
