The flavor mirrors the aroma with a pronounced citrus and earthy pine taste. Growers note that Jean Guy plants can stretch significantly during flowering, requiring some height management, but they reward with generous yields of dense, resinous buds after a flowering period of approximately 9 weeks.

Siberian Ruderalis
**Siberian Ruderalis** is a foundational landrace strain, not a modern hybrid. It is a pure, autoflowering *Cannabis ruderalis* subspecies native to the harsh climates of Siberia and Central/Eastern Europe. Its primary significance lies in its genetics, not its recreational potency. **Key Characteristics:** * **Autoflowering Trait:** Its most valuable genetic contribution. Flowers based on age (not light cycle), making it crucial for breeding modern autoflowering hybrids. * **Extreme Hardiness:** Evolved to survive short, cool summers with resilience to cold, pests, and mold. * **Low THC, Higher CBD:** Naturally very low in psychoactive THC but has a more balanced cannabinoid profile with notable CBD, making it non-intoxicating and historically used for fiber and folk remedies. * **Compact Structure:** Short, bushy plants with small, airy buds and narrow leaves. **Modern Use:** Rarely grown or consumed on its own. Its genetics are used almost exclusively by breeders to transfer the autoflowering trait and hardiness to high-THC *indica* and *sativa* varieties, creating the popular autoflowering strains available today.
