The Top44 is a cannabis strain developed in Holland some years ago, it's mostly indica crossed with a skunk and something else, there are a lot off speculations what this 'else' might be, but for now, it's still unknown. The Top44 is an impressive fast flowering plant, I never heard of a strain that was faster, it has an flowering time from only 6 weeks (44 days), but gives big resinous buds in this short time period. AMAZING!
At first, the Top44 was popular under cash growers in Holland, later on the home growers did find the great ability of the strain too, it's able to switch between vegetative, and flowering, grow very fast, vegetative grow will mostly stop after one week after put into flowering. It will grow inside, and also outside, and it's an easy compact growing plant, it is easy to get in one off the many cannabis growshops, this may change because the Dutch law is getting harder for the bigger clone producers.
Because it is an compact growing plant, it's very good in a SOG setup, it gives one long cola, if you grow 4 plants the sq./feet.
I was 49 plants on soil, used are 4 liter containers and a 600 watt (Natrium) lamp, total space used in this case is 9 sq./feet, in this setup we normally grow only one week vegetative, this way we are able to get up to 6 crops a year.
At the growshow (sample setup in a growshop) from Nederlicht Growshop, we could see that the Top44 is doing very well, if it gets more space and time. If you plan to grow bigger plants rule one is, use big containers. This plant did give 350 grams off the finest buds. The high is really great, strong and euphoric alike and the indica part off this plant gives a relaxed feeling overall, smoke it and let flo your mind.
It has it's own taste and is very sweet, the buds are very smelly and sticky, it has red hairs after 6 weeks. So many growers like to keep them in flowering a bit longer to get an ultimate effect, the Top44 adds a lot off resin in those last days, it is easy to manicure, because of the good leaf/bud ratio. ~ Jock
There are a few around here that have the real Top44 from Holland that they got as a cutting from Jock. The seeds available from him are not the same as the cuttings he has. The seeds are from Paradise, a company without much reputation yet.. But they're getting around the net since WeedSeed picked them up. But its not a very popular strain except in Holland / the rest of Europe, as a commercial plant. ~ shabang
50+ grams/s.f. Spacing at only 2 per square foot in 48 days isn't too bad. I suspect that plant will do much better when I play with it just a little more. I'll agree that the 44 days is pushing it and the plant is better buzzing 4 or 5 days later but you can harvest at 44 and be satisfied with the buzz without much sacrifice in yield. It's a great buzzing social indica that grows fast and heavy. ~ flick
Indica stone, about a 6 out of 10, 10 being that yet-to-be-smoked perfect bud.... On the plus side, it has textbook "mini-baseball bat" buds, with virtually no bud leaves to snip out. Clones grow straight up with no branching, making the strain ideal for SOG, less so for ScrOG. Medium high yielding. These traits no doubt are behind its Dutch rep as a good commercial crop strain. Will I grow it again? Probably. ~ B420
