New Varieties 2016

Cloud Nine

2Cloud Nine White AGE104

A brand new series bred for earliness and uniformity in the pack. Each colour is up to 7 days earlier than competing varieties and flower very uniformly across the crop, making them ideal to grow together. All three colours have smaller leaves and a more uniform habit making for a much more uniform end product. Cloud Nine Blue also has darker flower buds, giving a more attractive appearance than varieties with pale buds.
