Wappa cannabis strain special qualities
So why is Wappa so special? “From the start I had a feeling this plant was going to be a hit,” says Luc Krol, Paradise Seeds founder and Wappa’s breeder. “The overall character of the plant was just so strong. It was one of a new series of strains Paradise Seeds was releasing and I was really interested in exploring the potential of hybrids. From a breeder’s perspective they were very attractive because they allow you to really accentuate the strengths of individual sativa and indica genetics and produce a magnificent all-rounder. Wappa just came through the breeding process with such strength and vigor.”
In the grow room this means a plant that develops a nice bushy shape with big flowers forming on tiny stems. Often, the buds grow so fat that some branch support is needed in later growth stages to help support the weight. Mostly grown in the classic Christmas tree form, Wappa nevertheless responds well to Scrogging. “Taking out the middle stem will cause the offshoots to rapidly fill out and Wappa will quickly cover the space with lots of flowers and fewer leaves.”
What is the Wappa Effect?
Once harvested and cured, Wappa is notable for its strong but uplifting effect, bringing relaxation for body and mind alike, which also makes it a popular medical strain. Another defining characteristic is its incredibly sweet and fruity flavor. When breeding Wappa, Luc was keen to enhance the sweetness of this plant and very satisfied when he achieved it.
“I remember walking into a party with a bag of Wappa soon after it was released, “ says Luc. “It was such a lovely scent, so sweet, so fruity, and everybody just kind of stopped what they were doing and started to sniff the air. It was as if the fragrance lifted the atmosphere of the whole room. I remember thinking at the time, ‘oh yeah, that’s the Wappa effect!’).
