About Early Girl

Early Girl was bred by Sensi Seeds to deliver the earliest possible harvest without sacrificing quality. By crossing Afghani with Skunk #1 and selecting for the fastest-flowering specimens, Sensi created a strain that could finish in as little as 6-7 weeks indoors and survive early frosts outdoors. Early Girl produces a classic relaxing indica high with earthy, sweet aromas. While not as potent or flavorful as some later strains, it was instrumental in making early-harvest genetics available to northern climate growers.
