Top 44 was specifically developed to be fast-growing. It takes around 7 to 8 weeks to fully mature and stays compact, emitting a strong skunky scent. This strain is highly productive, making it suitable for both commercial and novice growers. It also thrives outdoors in any climate, particularly on sunny balconies and terraces.
Nirvana created this hybrid by crossing Skunk #1 with Viking, their finest Afghani strain. The outcome is a short and sturdy plant that can withstand various conditions. It flourishes outdoors and is especially beneficial for growers with shorter summers, as it can be harvested quickly in any climate.
Due to its indica dominance, Top 44 maintains a low and bushy growth structure, making it perfect for training techniques like topping and low-stress training. It is an excellent choice for indoor growers with limited vertical space, as well as outdoor balconies. Additionally, it requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal option for first-time growers. This hybrid performs exceptionally well when grown closely together in a Sea of Green method and is easy to manage due to its compact size.
Once in the flowering stage, Top 44 doubles in height and produces abundant side branches, along with a central cola. Its short spacing between nodes and dense, golf ball-sized buds make it easy to trim and maintain a uniform shape. This fast-flowering hybrid can yield up to 500 grams per square meter and boasts a THC content of 15%-20%. Its blooming aroma is a potent combination of earthy, skunky dankness that lingers in the air and fills a room with dense smoke.
Top 44 offers a more calming and therapeutic effect compared to a cerebral high. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a well-balanced high, providing clarity and motivation. Over time, its physical effects become more prominent, making it an ideal strain for stress relief and relaxation.
The flavor profile of Top 44 is deep, bold, and earthy, with a classic floral skunk funk that is difficult to describe. Fans of Kush hybrids will appreciate its unique taste. Medical patients may find this strain beneficial for stress relief, therapeutic purposes, insomnia, and appetite stimulation.
With its rapid flowering time, Top 44 is one of the fastest hybrids available, earning its reputation as Nirvana's top girl. It is a perfect choice for commercial growers who desire quick turnaround times and high yields, making it ideal for a Sea of Green cultivation method.
