Lineage of Flo

Infamous cannabis breeder DJ Short helped launch the Dutch Passion coalition in 1998 with the help of his "Blue family." The family included famous strains like Blueberry, Blue Velvet, and Flo. With its sativa-leaning genetics, Flo quickly became known as the most charismatic of the strain siblings. Flo is a combination from Oaxacan Mexican sativa, Thai sativa, and Afghani indica strain. These landrace strains were cultivated by DJ Short to express their pure genetic origins.

Flo plants finish flowering between the end of September and early November. Flo plants generally mature fast, and plants quickly grow tall.

The strain's ability to be harvested at multiple times creates a flow of blooming buds, giving the strain its name. Flo is available through various online seed banks and through any other businesses that sell clones. Due to the strain's high availability as a clone, Flo has taken over regional markets in the US, including Denver

Flo flower can display a myriad of colors. The plants are marked with pink tones throughout the leaves and violet to blue-red flower leaves and calyxes. Buds have tighter structures and are coated with a healthy layer of crystallization.
