Ewok

Ewok: Furry and Fierce

Ewok seeds, ironically, grow into tall plants. The plants feature long leaves that hang downwards towards the bottom of the bush. The buds are dense and small and pack a powerful punch when first smoked. Looking closely at the plant, you can see spots of white that are resiny trichomes, and they cover the leaves and buds alike. The buds also have brown pistils growing from them, and those hairs will transfer to the harvested nuggets. The harvested nuggets are leafy and green with amber waves throughout. Breaking them apart releases that aroma we discussed earlier. One whiff and you know you grew yourself a great cannabis plant. The Ewok strain won the 2013 Seattle High Times Cannabis Cup, further cementing its legacy in the cannabis community. This popular strain has won numerous smaller awards in categories like “Best Hybrid” in states like California and Nevada. Its resume is fantastic, and if you’re looking for a solid strain to grow, then look no further. Ewok might just be the perfect strain for you to grow.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Ewok feminized seeds can be grown indoors or outdoors in a warm, sunny climate as long as they are handled by an experienced grower. An organic soil is the best medium for growing Ewok cannabis, regardless of whether you choose to grow indoors or outdoors. Outdoors seems to accommodate its height sufficiently as Ewok grows quite tall. A warm, sunny climate is preferred. It is popular for its lightning-quick flowering time, making it capable of high yields. Some growing experience is recommended since some pruning and nurturing are needed for this strain to reach its maximum potential.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Ewok marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by growers with prior experience. The desired temperature for this strain is between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Switching the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage and get you all the way to harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 40-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 55-65% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. Because this strain is susceptible to mold and mildew, lowering the humidity will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training (LST) and topping are the best methods for this particular strain of cannabis. Utilizing these methods will increase light exposure to all levels of the plant, ultimately increasing your yields come harvest time.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Ewok strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. Cultivated outdoors, this strain of cannabis is usually ready for harvest around the end of September to the beginning of October.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. Well-versed cultivators will agree that these yield numbers are pretty great, considering the difficulty surrounding this grow.

Dominant Terpenes in Ewok: Fruity Citrus and Pine 

The Ewok terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while pinene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Myrcene produces an earthy and herbal scent and flavor when found in cannabis plants.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Commonly found in pine needles, the pinene terpene gives cannabis its earthy and pine-like flavors.
• Caryophyllene: Peppery – Caryophyllene is found mostly in cinnamon, cloves, and cannabis plants.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Ewok: 

Cannabinoids play an important role in Ewok seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That euphoric, relaxed, and creative feeling you get when enjoying the Ewok strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user. 

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 19%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Ewok cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Ewok are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Ewok strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
