1024
Also known as: Ten Twenty Four
Overview
1024 is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) developed by Medical Seeds Co., a Spanish seed bank based in Barcelona that was established in 2005. The strain is characterized by its mysterious genetics, as the breeder has kept its parentage a closely guarded secret for security reasons, making it one of the most intriguing cannabis varieties in their catalog. This decision reflects Medical Seeds Co.'s methodical approach to breeding, focusing on quality over quantity with limited strain availability and careful attention to medicinal properties.
The strain earned recognition in the cannabis community, winning 1st Prize in the Extraction Category at the Spannabis Cup 2011 Barcelona and 2nd Prize in the Sativa Category at the Neuro Cup of the Pacific 2014 Chile. 1024 is particularly notable for its dual potency profile, combining high THC levels (typically 18-25%) with unusually high CBD content (up to 4%), making it appealing to both recreational and medical users. The buds are described as fluffy, neon green, popcorn-shaped nugs covered in wiry orange pistils and a thick coating of sandy white trichomes, breaking apart easily due to their sticky resin content.
The strain's complex terpene profile features terpinolene, caryophyllene, and pinene, contributing to its distinctive aroma and flavor characteristics. Users report a unique combination of sweet, spicy, fruity, and musky notes with hints of incense, green tea, and pepper. The plant adapts well to various cultivation methods including organic, coco coir, and hydroponic systems, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing.

Growing Information
1024 is considered suitable for growers of various experience levels, showing good resistance to common molds and mildews. Indoor cultivation requires 11-13 weeks flowering time (some sources indicate 75-80 days) with yields of approximately 600g per square meter. The strain performs well with 12/12 lighting from start and can accommodate up to 16 plants per square meter. Outdoor cultivation results in plants reaching heights of 1.5-3.5 meters, with harvest typically occurring in mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere and mid-April in the Southern Hemisphere. Outdoor yields can reach 600-1000g per plant. The strain adapts excellently to all growing systems including organic soil, coco coir, and hydroponic setups. Plants benefit from proper support such as trellising due to elongated bud structure. Optimal growing conditions can push THC levels above 23%.
