Strain Overview
Platinum Spoon seeds by Mass Medical Strains offer a rare and exciting opportunity to grow a sativa-dominant hybrid with immense genetic character and terpene diversity. Created through a thoughtful cross between the revered Dr. Grinspoon and the uniquely structured Platinum Laos, this cultivar was bred for complexity, beauty, and robust growth. Platinum Spoon seeds are available in regular form and produced in very limited quantities, making them a sought-after selection for cultivators interested in exploring dynamic phenotypes and flavor-rich profiles.
Genetic Background
The parentage of Platinum Spoon seeds showcases a sophisticated pairing of genetics. The mother, Dr. Grinspoon, comes from a 2019 seed stock by Barney’s Farm and is celebrated for its wild, heirloom-style sativa structure. Known for its lanky frame and unusual floral formations, this plant brings oldschool character to the cross. The father, Platinum Laos, is an original male developed by Mass Medical Strains from a combination of Laos Landrace and Platinum Punch. This unique male enhances sativa qualities while slightly accelerating flowering time, and adds subtle complexity without overwhelming the exotic nature of the Grinspoon. The result is a hybrid that maintains true sativa vigor with a contemporary edge.
Growth Characteristics
Platinum Spoon seeds grow into robust, high-yielding plants that exhibit strong vertical growth and substantial branching. Flowering times range from 8 to 11 weeks, depending on the specific phenotype, offering a broad window for exploration. Some plants express long, foxtailed buds in true sativa fashion, while others develop thick, spear-like colas resembling oversized baseball bats. This cultivar stretches significantly during early flowering, often reaching three times its vegetative height, which is ideal for training and topping methods. Despite the sativa influence, Platinum Spoon is surprisingly manageable in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments, making it a flexible choice for growers of all experience levels.
Aromatic Profile
Platinum Spoon seeds produce plants with a wide array of aromatic expressions. This strain is known for its intensely loud terpene profiles, with phenotypes exhibiting scents that range from cherry-pine funk to sharp metallic citrus. Additional aromas include classic haze, fermented fruit, and even more unusual notes such as candy sweetness and hints of spiced meat. Some variations feature strong berry tones or earthy incense qualities, ensuring no two plants smell exactly alike. This diversity in aroma makes Platinum Spoon seeds ideal for those seeking a unique and complex sensory experience with every harvest.
Flavor Profile
The flavor spectrum of Platinum Spoon is just as rich and varied as its aroma. On the inhale, growers may discover vibrant cherry and citrus tones, while the exhale may present deeper layers of pine, earth, or sour fruit. In certain phenotypes, candy sweetness or savory spices make unexpected but pleasant appearances. This dynamic flavor range reflects the strong genetic diversity within the strain, with each plant offering its own unique tasting notes. The smooth yet potent flavor profile, combined with the high terpene output, makes Platinum Spoon seeds especially attractive to those focused on taste and complexity.
