Great White Shark: The Peacemaker’s Punch

Oi! You’re not here for some quiet little number, are you? You want a certified monster—a proper, old-school Indica that hits like a knockout punch. If you’re chasing serious weight and a legendary body stone, you need to buy Great White Shark seeds in Australia. Nicknamed “The Peacemaker,” she delivers a heavy, couch-locking stone that’ll have you feeling like you just survived a tidal wave. She’s a beast in the tent, caked in resin, and smells of pure citrus-skunk funk. Simple. Brutal. Proper.

Quick Stats

Great White Shark is a heavy Indica-dominant hybrid (~70/30 Indica/Sativa) from a legendary cross of White Widow × Super Skunk × South Indian. She’s packing a solid 15–21% THC, with a noticeable 1% CBD content. She finishes in just 8–9 weeks of flower indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late March to early April in Australia. Expect indoors yields of ~500–600 g/m² and ~700+ g/plant outdoors. Matty’s tip: “She’s a big girl. Give her space, get the airflow right, and be ready for a massive yield of frosty, rock-hard nugs.”

The Legend

Hailing from the legendary Green House Seeds, Great White Shark first hit the scene in the mid-1990s and immediately made waves. A powerful blend of White Widow, Super Skunk, and a rare South Indian Indica, she quickly earned a reputation for her mind-bending potency and monster yields. Her genetics were so celebrated that she took home the High Times Cannabis Cup 1997 Best Bio and multiple cups at the Highlife Hemp Fair. Her calming yet euphoric stone earned her the nickname “The Peacemaker” in Europe, a fitting tribute to her ability to soothe both body and mind. Trimmers of the era called her “shark glue,” because her ridiculous resin production would clog up their scissors faster than almost any other strain.

Flavour & Aroma

On the nose: A pungent, skunky attack with a bright citrus kick right behind it. It’s a loud, old-school aroma that will fill your entire space. On the tongue: The inhale starts with a sweet, zesty citrus flavour before the musky, skunky notes take over on the mid-palate. On the exhale, a spicy, earthy finish lingers, wrapping up a seriously complex flavour profile.

Matty’s Take: “This is the kind of skunk funk that makes you smile. An old-school classic for a reason.”

Effects & What to Expect

First wave → A fast-acting euphoric lift. You’ll feel a clear-headed, happy buzz that sparks creativity and conversation. This is the Sativa side of her genetics at work, and it’s a great mood booster. Then it settles → A heavy, long-lasting Indica body stone takes over. A deep wave of relaxation washes through your limbs, easing tension and stress. Final vibe → A deep, blissful calm. She’s a pure night strain, built for chilling out on the couch with a good movie and a serious case of the munchies. This is a go-to for deep relaxation and a good night’s sleep.

How I Grow It (Matty’s Way)

Skill Level: Intermediate.

Great White Shark is a big yielder, but she needs a bit of attention. Her short, bushy structure makes her perfect for SCROG and SOG, so get your training gear ready. Topping and LST are your best mates here. She’s a heavy feeder, so don’t be afraid to ramp up the nutrients in mid-flower, but keep an eye out for any signs of burn. Her buds are incredibly dense and resinous, which means excellent air management is mandatory to prevent mould late flower.

Matty’s Feeding & pH Know-How: “She can handle a heavy feed, I run her at 1.6–2.0 EC in mid-to-late flower. Keep that pH locked in at 6.0–6.5 in soil and 5.8–6.2 in coco/hydro.”

📅 Grow Log: Inside the Tent

Phase/Week	Key Action/Status	Matty’s Tip
Weeks 1–2 (Seedling)	PPFD 250–350 • VPD 0.8–0.9 kPa • EC 0.4–0.6 • pH 6.0–6.5 soil / 5.8–6.2 coco.	Let the pot dry to the first knuckle—overwatering here slows root strike. I like a ring-water 2–3 cm off the stem to make her “hunt.”
Weeks 3–4 (Veg)	Stretch starts (expect 1.2–1.6× by flip) • PPFD 450–600 • VPD 1.0–1.1 • EC 1.1–1.4.	Top at node 4–5 and lay branches out early. Set SCROG net at 20–25 cm above the pot—fill ~70% before flower so the “shark fins” have room.
Flower Weeks 1–2 (Set)	Bud set + terp tickle • PPFD 650–750 • VPD 1.1–1.2 • EC 1.5–1.7.	Timing quirk: she drinks Ca/Mg right now—add 0.3–0.5 mL/L Cal-Mag or bump base with a Ca-forward profile. Light leaf taco = raise fixture 5–8 cm.
Flower Weeks 3–5 (Bulk)	Colas densify • RH 42–48% • PPFD 750–900 • DLI 38–45 • EC 1.7–2.0.	In coastal QLD, watch RH spikes during wet season—she’ll need dehu support to avoid mould. Drop N ~15–20% from week 4 to dodge harshness; she’ll punish late-N with dark, clawed fans. Run 30–60 air-changes/hr—if the tent smells outside, you’re under-extracting.
Flower Weeks 6–7 (Finish)	Cloudy → 10–15% amber • VPD 1.0–1.1 • EC 0.8–1.2 (fade).	Leaf temps 0.5–1.0 °C below ambient sharpens that skunky-citrus snap. I wait for calyx swell after pistil recede—chopping a week early costs weight and flavour.

🔬 Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)

• Terpenes: Myrcene 0.5–1.2%, Limonene 0.3–0.8%, Caryophyllene 0.2–0.7%, Humulene 0.1–0.3% (skunk–citrus–earth stack).
• Lighting: PPFD 650–800 (veg), 800–950 (flower bulk), 900–1050 (late flower); DLI 30–35 (veg), 38–48 (flower). With CO₂ 1200–1400 ppm, target 950–1100 PPFD late.
• Feeding: EC 0.4–0.6 (seedling), 1.1–1.4 (veg), 1.7–2.0 (bulk), 0.8–1.2 (finish); runoff pH 6.2–6.6 soil / 5.7–6.1 coco. Reduce N 15–20% from flower week 4.
• Training: SCROG net height 20–25 cm; fill 65–75% pre-flower; 6–10 mains in 60×60 cm tents, 10–14 mains in 120×60 cm. Lollipop to the first net square during flower week 2.
• Climate: Day 24–27 °C / Night 18–21 °C (veg/early); late flower 22–25 °C; VPD 0.8–1.0 (seedling), 1.0–1.2 (veg), 1.1–1.3 (early flower), 1.0–1.1 (late). RH late flower 42–48%.
• Air Management: 30–60 air-changes/hr. Fan CFM ≈ (tent volume in m³ × 35–70). Use a carbon filter rated 20–30% above fan CFM; replace pre-filter sleeve each run.
• Pests: High-risk: spider mites, whitefly. IPM: weekly underside leaf checks (30–60× scope), sticky cards 1/0.1 m², dryback windows 24–36 h in coco to deter fungus gnats.
• Harvest Cues: Pistils 90% receded + swollen calyx tips = she’s ready to go.
• Red Flags: RH >55% after week 5 = botrytis risk; sweet diesel note fading mid-run often = over-N. Leaf canoe + glossy sheen = PPFD too high or VPD too low.

Matty’s Note: “If your filter can’t keep up by week 5, you’re under-extracting—fix the air before you chase nutrients. Smell is the early warning siren.”

🚫 Mythbusting

Myth: “She’s just another White Widow cross.”
Truth (Matty): “Not a chance. Her unique terpene stack and higher CBD content make her a standout. She’s in the same family, but she’s her own beast.”

Myth: “Big yielders sacrifice potency.”
Truth (Matty): “Nah. This one’s proof you can have both. She hits like a hammer and delivers a bulk haul at the end of the run.”

Myth: “Great White Shark is too smelly for indoors.”
Truth (Matty): “True if you’re lazy. But with a proper carbon filter and sealed room, the only thing that’s getting out is the good times. She is loud, though—you’ve been warned.”

Myth: “ONA gel can cover her smell.”
Truth (Matty): “Not a chance. That stuff just creates a floral-diesel mix that smells worse. Only a carbon filter keeps this shark caged.”
