Early Special is a modern, auto-flowering cultivar derived from pure indica genetics. Recognized for its accessibility, this strain is categorized as easy to cultivate and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a 63-day flowering cycle, which typically results in a low yield. Its genetic influence is best observed in the development of notable offspring, specifically AK48 Auto and Short Ryder.

The chemical profile of Early Special is characterized by a distinct terpene hierarchy, beginning with the dominant influence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates the profile’s aromatic and sensory experience. The combination provides a specific nuance that aligns with the cultivar’s overall composition, grounded strictly in these three identified aromatic compounds.

THC-dominant in its cannabinoid profile, Early Special is noted for producing effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a viable option for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. Having established its utility in these therapeutic categories, the strain maintains a consistent reputation through its contribution to the genetic lineage of subsequent auto-flowering varieties.
