Plant Physiology: Holy Moly! grows slowly during the early vegetative stage while the plant is establishing its root system. It is easy to identify during this stage due to its unusual leaf crinkles. In flower, HM! explodes in growth, highlighting the sativa-leaning elements of its heritage. A flowered-out Holy Moly! plant features long, coral reef-shaped flowers. The flower’s trichome stalks are longer than typical stalks, making for extremely frosty colas. Holy Moly! occasionally has yellow, paint-like variegation, similar to that frequently seen in ChemDog varietals.
Due to its stretch and structure, HM! requires extensive support during late flower as buds pack on weight. During flush—when some cultivators reduce fertilizers to improve flavor and quality—the larger sun leaves fade to purple, while the middle and lower canopy fade to orange and yellow, boasting maroon stripes down the veins. In the Fig Farms garden, HM! yields on average 45 grams per square foot of canopy space. The finished flowers are gooey to the touch and have a very greasy resin, and the flower retains moisture well.
