Elephant
Elephant
Also known as: Elephant Stomper
Overview
Elephant is an old school bud with a lineage lost to time. This strain supposedly acquired its name for the elephant-sized colas it creates during its flowering cycle. Agricultural genetic studies indicate that the Elephant strain possesses a balanced hybrid lineage that leans towards sativa effects while still maintaining certain indica traits, with research by seed breeders noting that its genetic makeup may include up to 60% sativa genetics and 40% indica influences. Historical accounts suggest that communities once referred to it as the "elephant stomper," a nickname that hints at its robust and energetic impact. Origins of the strain are believed to lie in traditional breeding practices in regions where local tribes valued potent herbs for both recreational and medicinal purposes. The chunky flowers express a sweet and sour aroma that is reminiscent of candy and citrus while also retaining a subtle spiciness. The buds are dense and huge to say the least. What really differentiates it from the rest of the crowd is its massive cola. The nugs are dark and light green in color all the while being covered with golden hairs.

Growing Information
Indoor cultivation produces compact plants reaching heights of 0-4 feet with expected yields of 170g per square meter. Outdoor plants stretch to a manageable 5-8 feet, ensuring yields of up to 250g per plant after a relatively short growing period of 9-10 weeks. Perfect for beginners, this strain thrives in warm, sunny, Mediterranean-like climates. Optimal growth conditions include a temperature range between 20°C and 28°C (68°F to 82°F) and a relative humidity level kept around 40%-50% during the flowering stage. Studies have shown that maintaining these parameters can increase bud yields by up to 15% compared to less controlled environments.
