Type and Genetics
To obtain the feminized strain Caramelo Early Version from Delicious Seeds, the award-winning Caramelo was backcrossed with a Ruderalis strain to shorten its flowering phase indoors and outdoors, while maintaining the strain's distinctive effects and flavor.
Fast Flowering, Early Version, Quick, or simply Fast Genetics are identified as strains created from crossing an autoflowering and a photodependent phenotype. This combination results in a strain that shortens the harvesting time by one to two weeks compared to regular strains.
Fast Version strains also have several advantages resulting from these timeframes, such as less usage of material and energy resources, fewer fungal and insect pest issues, and other qualities highly valued by growers in cold climates or those seeking to benefit from its ease of cultivation.
