Wilson
Also known as: Wilson Zero, Wilson! Zero
Overview
Wilson is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Los Angeles breeder Edgar "Masonic Smoker" Peña, created through a complex genetic cross of (Papaya x Banana OG) x Tropicana Cookies. Originally available as a clone-only selection, Wilson gained cult status for its exotic tropical fruit flavors and balanced effects before seed versions became available. The strain exhibits a perfect 50/50 indica/sativa balance, offering both energizing and relaxing properties that make it versatile for various occasions. Wilson is characterized by dense, triangle-shaped buds with emerald green coloration, covered in thin yellow-orange hairs and a thick coating of frosty, golden-amber crystal trichomes. The strain's remarkable resin production and vibrant appearance have made it highly sought after by both growers and concentrate producers. Its genetic lineage combines the creamy banana notes of Banana OG, the tropical funk of Papaya, and the citrusy, energizing traits of Tropicana Cookies, resulting in a complex flavor profile that includes notes of cheese, apricot, sage, mango, and citrus with subtle diesel undertones.

Growing Information
Wilson is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for cultivators with some experience. The strain has a remarkably fast flowering time of 6-7 weeks (42-49 days), making it ideal for multiple harvests per season. Plants typically reach 2-5 feet in height both indoors and outdoors, with a bushy, branched structure and strong lateral growth. Indoor yields average around 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 400 grams each. Wilson thrives in temperate climates and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain requires proper ventilation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and heavy resin production. Two common phenotypes exist: a pinkish-purple variant with spicy cookie aromas and a brighter green phenotype with more pronounced fruit flavors. Regular pruning is recommended to ensure proper light and air circulation to lower growing nodes.
