Variegated Delight is a sativa-dominant strain that is a three-way cross of Gringo var Lemon, GPP Mango and Lemon Grape SWAG . Phenotypical variation is displayed via leaf types; smooth-edged single-bladed and webbed leaves along with serrated versions of these. Growers can expect high yields of high-THC flowers. While adapted to almost all climate types and conditions, variegated strains are best left in the hands of intermediate and experienced growers.

Approximately 30% of plants display yellow on green variegations while a smaller number of very light green/yellow seedlings are albinos that require grafting onto another plant due to viabilty issues regarding photosynthesis and lack of chlorophyl. Variegated plants require lighter feeding as they are much more susceptible to nute burns. As a result they grow more slowly.

Apart from these facts, plants can grow to be very tall outdoors, up to 250cm. The serrated-leaf examples show great vigour, while the SWAG-leafed ones have a remarkable resilience to both drought and heat. Growers can expect a more complex scent from the SWAG leaf plants. The majority of phenos will produce airy sativa buds with green and purple shades. Indoors, flowering takes 8 – 9 weeks with good yields of up to 550 gr/m2. Outdoors each plant can produce as much as 750 gr/plant with northern harvests ready in November while those in the southern hemisphere ready during May.

Serrated leaf-types have a fruity mojito flavour with a sweet lemon aroma and hints of mint. The smooth swag-leaf phenos have a rubber/ burned tyre quality with menthol and lime notes. THC content is up to 21% with 2% CBD. The effect is an uplifting, euphoric sativa yet balanced and never overwhelming, unlike some sativa strains.
