This weekend we’re adding to our collection of artist-inspired branded strains with Monet (Flo Z x Candy Cake). Like all our Artists Series branded strains, including Picasso (Chem Brûlée x Garlic Banger) and Dalí (Headbanger x Candy Cake), Monet is an instantly iconic cultivar with a true signature style like its namesake artist. This time, we’re paying homage to Claude Monet. Like the globally beloved French Impressionist, Monet’s namesake strain draws inspiration from the local landscape, trading the gardens of Giverny for the grows of Colorado. GDL’s Monet began as a breeding project to improve Flo, a beloved Colorado heirloom strain with a distinctive candied floral character that was far easier to love than it was to grow. The community’s efforts to preserve and enhance this piece of our cannabis heritage started with Flo Z (Flo’rado x Z) or “Colorado Flo,” but this cross’s garden performance and resin production still left much to be desired.
With Monet we have continued the worthy effort to preserve and improve Flo, crossing Flo Z with one of our go-to breeding aces, the resin producing powerhouse Candy Cake (Z Cake x Jungle Cake). The result is set to become the baseline for Flo’s elusive candied floral signature, with a licorice-inflected, sweet and flowery terp profile with excellent yields and resin structure that make this an exceptional smoke in any form or finish.
Monet’s flavor will be familiar to the many Front Range OGs who know and love the original Flo, boosting Flo’s unique blueberry licorice base with Z sweetness from both parents. This modernized take on a Colorado classic beloved by obsessive terp lovers and genetic collectors delivers a sweet, satisfying, palate-coating smoke that forms Flo’s characteristic soft, pillowy clouds. Its flowers boast a gorgeous, soft color that is brought out by its overwhelming resin levels and beautiful trichome coverage.Monet is an excellent daytime smoke, with a heady, euphoric high that lightens the soul and clears the mind. The specially commissioned, artist-created design on every Monet jar and box draws on the artist’s indelible impressionistic brushstroke to celebrate Flo’s (and GDL’s) Colorado roots.
