Our newly genetically refined SADHU has great resin potential and is a favourite among growers looking for a hardy, easy to grow indica with a balanced high.
For an impression of the resiny ladies we have some new photos of several plants lined up here from an independant grow in coco substrate.

Sadhu develops chunky and compact buds. Some are not as tightly structured as in Hashberry. Which is why this grower commented he found Sadhu buds more suitable for bubble hash and more productive for resin extraction than Hashberry. But, on the other hand, few growers utilize buds for hash production and tend to use only the shake (manicured bud leaves).
A number of Sadhu plants will develop resin even on the fan leaves!
You can see an example of that on the photos. Therefore this strain provides a lot of quality shake for hash enthusiasts.

Is she difficult to manicure? I would say no. Calyx-leaf ratio is on average 60-40 with some plants topping at 80-20. This is a very good ratio for an indica. You can just chop off the leaf tips and leave the rest to dry. The THC-glands on the bud leaves are of course just as psychoactive as on the calyxes. Why waste prime bud material that you can smoke?

The aroma of Sadhu is complex and interesting. This strain shares some of the Kashmir land race genetics of Hashberry. But the aroma of both strains does differ. Sadhu has a unique aroma that reminds one of the scent of spices in an oriental-bazaar. A mildly sweet and flowery aroma is often accompanied in the aroma. The taste is something we never describe in the strain details because it depends on cultivation methods, curing, etc.
In fact, even the aroma is influenced by such factors...

More details on Sadhu can be found in our online catalog or at Seedboutique.com.

Hi ICMAG peoples Mandala Mike ! I actually have 2 Sadhu's specimens in blooming ! I bought thoses Hybrids (i have Hasberry also...)
My 2 Sadhu's females are very distinctives phenotypes (totally differents ) One is small whit thigh calyx and bushy ! The other one ask for space like crazy ! I ad to re-pot her twice so far ! The bushy one is very easy going compare to the other one who's twice the sized ! I will go whit my observation so far!?! (good and bad ) first Hasberry i put 5 seeds all sprouted 5 males first times it ever happen (i know its not my grow condition c'ause i used the same for years and i start H.L. afgani from reef. at same times 4 females on 5 seeds ... So i germ. my remains 5 seeds . I plant them as recommended in Mandala's web site ! direct into heart !
Positives : sprouted perfectly healty fat seeds ...
Super Rootsmass one of the most impressives i see ! (i grow in soil mix !
Very heavy tronc from beginnig (my big Sadhu's the size of the tronc is like a bottle cap
Also like the green of the plant very healty !
my blooming is pretty fast (o.k.i'm used to sativa's so any indica or hybrid is fast bloomer lol!)
The negatives points now : 5 seeds of Hashberry 5 males (very good sprout do)
hughes differances betwin my remains 2 femalles Sadhu ! ( even if the plant patern suggest without doubt its the same genetics no error here!) The big Sadhu's piss me off a bit asking for bigger pots like crazy ... or all the grow stop and bottom leafs are yellow ! So this one make me happy to have that decade of experienced ! Many could think in lack of azote but the roots needs space ! Look very promising on Sadhu's side great strains hope i'll be lucky whit the 5 hashberry remains ? happy grow Rodia! P.S Bottom line all the negatives points are because it was only 2 females out of 5 Sadhu's and 5 hashberry ! For the rest its healty strong plants!
