Romulan Genetics Seeds Salty Pickle

Strain Overview
Salty Pickle seeds are a unique creation from Romulan Genetics, meticulously developed to combine speed, quality, and remarkable flavor profiles. This feminized photoperiod indica variety was bred from Gorilla Butter x Romulan, resulting in plants that deliver excellent performance in a short time frame. Designed for indoor harvests as early as 42 days, Salty Pickle seeds appeal to growers seeking quick turnaround without sacrificing visual appeal or aromatic complexity. Plants remain short and bushy, making them ideal for smaller spaces, and produce an average yield with dense, resin-rich buds.

Genetics and Breeding
The genetic foundation of Salty Pickle seeds is the combination of Gorilla Butter and Romulan, merging the bold, rich aromas of both parents into a distinctive cultivar. This breeding project focused on creating an exceptionally fast-finishing indica while maintaining the high standards of Romulan Genetics in plant structure, stability, and terpene expression. The careful selection process behind Salty Pickle seeds allows for phenotypic diversity that makes a pheno hunt especially rewarding.

Flowering Time and Growth Characteristics
Salty Pickle seeds produce plants that can finish flowering in as little as 42 days under optimized indoor conditions, with most phenotypes ready between days 49 and 56. Outdoor harvests typically occur from late September to October. With a compact, bush-like structure and a 1–2x stretch during flowering, this strain fits well into both smaller home gardens and tightly managed commercial grows. The plants show high cold resistance and above-average resistance to powdery mildew and botrytis, making them dependable for various climates and grow setups.

Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aromatic and flavor spectrum of Salty Pickle seeds is strikingly diverse. Some phenotypes express a fruit-forward profile with menthol undertones, offering a refreshing and sweet aroma. Others lean heavily into savory notes, exuding briny, pickled scents with earthy and spicy layers. This complexity delivers a sensory experience unlike typical indica cultivars, making it a standout in any collection.

Cultivation Tips
Romulan Genetics recommends allowing Salty Pickle seeds to reach sexual maturity before transitioning to flower for optimal performance. Stabilization through cloning is also suggested for growers aiming for consistency. Indoors, these plants excel under LED lighting in coco-based mediums, and their manageable size makes them easy to train and maintain. Due to the variability in terpene expression, a small pheno hunt is highly encouraged to find the perfect combination of speed, yield, and flavor.
