I also ran the Alien Tarantula by Franchise when I got them as Freebies.
Gotta say I was impressed. Incredible vigor. They held their own beside Dominions Figure Four crosses.
Looked similar grown, but during Veg the Alien tarantula were beasts. Huge leaves and thick stalks. Poster child for hybrid vigor, almost prehistoric looking. I felt like I had strangers in the grow with them there. Different from everything else visually.
Just as short and stout as the Kush crosses and quicker, several finishing at the 49 day mark, while the dominion went a week longer for the same size plant.
Taste wise, they reminded me of the old school hash we would get from overseas in the 80s. Gave me the munchies, too. Which is rare for me.
Excellent water hash, but not as tasty as the Figure Four crosses, Stashplant, and Koughdrop by Dominion, which were very similar plants at finish, structure wise. Be careful not to wash too long or you lose flavor though, because the Tarantula is spicy and earthy, and it sort of bleeds away with too much washing.
(I was looking for a solid indica, before I got the Pakistan Chitral Kush from those studs over at AOseeds in Spain.)
Not the strongest plants, but I initially thought they would be, as they were usually some of the frostiest plants in the canopy, but they gave a nice full body stone, dealing with pain and giving you a smile. The hash was delicious sprinkled on some flower, and made my old ass friends remember the bad old days of smuggled hash from Amsterdam.
And you get lots of hash from the Alien Tarantula. (Leave the Larf. The heck is wrong with you trimming that thing like a palm tree? Don't you know Larf is the best source for water hash?
)
After the debacle of missing out on the excellent Kosher Tangies I grew out without cloning, I still have the Tarantulas. Fool me once, as they say.
Can't imagine myself giving them all away. Not gonna happen.
