A potent, mold-resistant strain for growers in humid places
Bred by Green House Seeds, A.M.S. or Anti Mould Strain is the result of blending a Swiss Sativa with a Swiss Indica that hails from the Ticino region. As her name suggests, this hardy cannabis boasts incredible resistance to molds, making her an excellent option for cultivating in humid places. The marijuana variant produces an Indica phenotype and a Sativa pheno, with the former sharing higher yields.
Smoking A.M.S. buds in a joint or pipe releases a harmony of flavors that arouses the senses, including notes of citrus, mint, cedarwood, and sandalwood. Her flowers provide a T.H.C. content that typically averages around 19%, along with small amounts of CBD (0.17%) and CBN (0.14%). This strain’s cerebral effect is uplifting and thought-provoking, sending users into introspection and allowing them to view their lives from a bit of a distance. Ideal for evening consumption, she’s also calming and may induce drowsiness after a few hours. Additionally, the cannabinoids and terpenes that cover her nugs can bring relief to people battling chronic pain, poor appetite, stress, and insomnia.
While her buds are difficult to find, A.M.S.’s feminized seeds are widely available online. The plant can take a beating but is best suited to intermediate-level growers as she’s most prolific in ideal conditions. This strain rewards proper care with a copious harvest and impressive resin production. If you make cannabis extracts or concentrates, put this weed at the top of your must-grow list.

Although slightly Indica-leaning, A.M.S. grows tall like a Sativa, which is why she requires the care of growers with at least intermediate-level skill despite being a mold-resistant strain.
If you prefer to keep your A.M.S. short and stocky, you may pinch, prune, or employ low-stress training during the vegetative phase. You may also reduce the strain’s long and lanky growth by keeping thegrow lamps low and closer to the canopy, moving them up as the plants stretch. Note that cannabis varieties tend to get taller for weeks after the fruiting or 12/12 cycle begins, so it’s best tointroduce the budding phase earlier, ideally when the weed is one to two feet tall, to finish up with a smaller plant.
Cultivators may also put A.M.S. through the ScrOG (Screen of Green) setup. This will force the plant to grow branches through a horizontal mesh screen, which spreadsthe flowering sites around and maximizes the use of space. If this technique is not utilized, you may need to install a trellising system or attach the plant’s limbs to stakes so they don’t bend and break from the colas’ weight.
If the unrestricted height of A.M.S. is a non-issue, cultivators can use larger containers to grow bigger plants and achieve higher yields. Ensure at least 1 gallon of container space every week during the vegetative stage, and an abundant harvest awaits.
It is not known if A.M.S. is a heavy feeder. For this reason, it is better to err on the side of caution and refer to the manufacturer’s sample standard or feed chart unless you notice signs of nutrient burn or deficiency. Feedings throughout the plant’s growth will eventually result in the buildup of salts and minerals in the medium and plant cells. This will give the flowers a chemical taste but can be remedied by flushing out the substrate with plain water. Once most trichomes appear cloudy, growers can already start plucking the buds and prep them for drying.
A.M.S. is a generous yielder both indoors and out. When reared in a climate-controlled environment, growers can anticipatea harvest ranging from around 650 to 700 grams for every square meter. The strain spends 8 weeks fruiting, but you can wait until the 9th week to collect even more resinous and fragrant flowers. Outdoors,crop gathering rolls around late Septemberand can be as huge as 750 to 800 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
Will Screen of Green maximize the yield potential of A.M.S. plants or just act as support?
One common question among cannabis growers is whether or not the Screen of Green (ScrOG) technique will result in a bigger harvest. The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the type of strain being cultivated and the grower’s own level of experience. However, some general guidelines can be followed to maximize the potential yield. First and foremost, it is essential to select a sturdy trellis upon which the plants can climb. Next, the plants should be carefully pruned and trained to fill in the gaps in the screen. Finally, the screen’s height should be adjusted periodically to ensure that all buds are getting equal exposure to light. With a bit of patience and attention to detail, any grower can enjoy a bountiful harvest by using the ScrOG technique.
What grow techniques can I use to keep the naturally tall A.M.S. small?
When it comes to cannabis, there are two main types of growers – those who want big, bountiful plants, and those who prefer smaller, more compact ones. If you fall into the latter category, then you’ll need to use some specialized growing techniques to keep your tall cannabis strain from getting too big. One way to do this is by using a screen of green (SCROG) technique. This involves training the plant’s branches through a grid or wire mesh, which forces the plant to grow horizontally and stay relatively short. Another option is to grow your cannabis in a sea of green (S.O.G.) setup. This involves planting many small cannabis plants close together, encouraging them to stay short and stocky as they compete for light and space. Whichever method you choose, you can keep your tall cannabis strain under control and produce some quality buds in the process with a little effort.
How to know if A.M.S. is getting enough nutrients?
Proper nutrition is essential for cannabis plants. These plants tend to produce large, dense flowers that can be quite demanding of nutrients. If a plant is not getting enough nutrients, it will typically display one or more of the following signs: yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and small, pale flowers. Another way to tell if a plant is not getting enough nutrients is to check the soil. If the soil is dry and crumbly, it likely means that the plant is not getting enough water or nutrients. If you see any of these signs, it’s vital to take corrective action promptly. Otherwise, the plant may become severely stressed and produce sub-par flowers. Fortunately, you can take a few simple steps to ensure that your heavy-feeding cannabis plant gets the nutrients it needs. First, make sure to use a high-quality fertilizer designed for heavy feeders. Second, don’t forget to water regularly; cannabis plants love moisture and will usually need to be watered at least once per day during the vegetative stage. Finally, don’t be afraid to give your plants a little extra boost with some additional nutrients if needed. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your cannabis plant is satisfied and thriving.
