Clementine by Crockett

When Crockett Family Farms dropped Clementine, they basically put the whole industry on notice that fruit-forward genetics were here to stay. By crossing their legendary Tangie with Lemon Skunk, Crockett managed to capture lightning in a bottle. This sativa-dominant beast quickly became a staple for hash makers and extract artists, even taking home the gold for Best Sativa Concentrate at the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup. It’s one of those rare cuts that doesn't just smell like fruit; it completely coats your palate with this intense, zesty, sweet orange peel flavor that lingers for hours.
In the garden, Clementine shows off that classic sativa vigor. She wants to get tall, so if you're running her indoors, you absolutely have to stay on top of your training. Seasoned growers on the boards always recommend heavy topping and a solid scrog setup to keep her canopy even. She thrives when you treat her right, aggressively pushing out long, spear-like colas that look deceptively light but pack on serious weight by harvest time. Give her a solid 9 to 10 weeks of flowering, keep the humidity in check, and she'll reward you with some of the stickiest, most aromatic flowers you’ll ever run.
The effects are exactly what you want from a top-tier sativa. It's an instant jolt of electric energy that gets your heart going and clears the mental fog. A lot of daytime smokers swear by it for getting stuff done or hitting the trail, since it completely avoids that heavy, lethargic crash you get from modern poly-hybrids. Between the unmatched bag appeal, the screaming loud citrus terps, and the soaring, uplifting high, Clementine remains a mandatory run for anyone hunting serious flavor.

Growing Clementine: what to expect
As a sativa-leaning plant, plan for a big stretch after the flip (often 100–200%) — flip earlier than feels natural and keep training options ready. Sativa-leaning plants also generally prefer a lighter feed than heavy indicas. Growers familiar with Tangie or Lemon Skunk will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
