Walkabout Regular Seeds by Mr Nice – Sativa-Dominant Genetics for Adventurous Growers

The Walkabout Regular Seeds from Mr Nice Seedbank are your passport to a genuine cannabis exploration, offering a diverse genetic pool perfect for pheno-hunting and breeding projects. This isn't a single-strain experience; it's a curated selection of sativa-dominant genetics designed for the adventurous grower who wants to discover something truly unique.

Ever feel like modern strains are too predictable, lacking that wild, exploratory edge? You plant a seed expecting one thing, but the cookie-cutter results just don't spark that old excitement. You end up with a garden that looks and smokes just like everyone else's, missing out on the thrill of finding a hidden gem. The Walkabout collection solves this by putting the power of discovery back in your hands. With genetics sourced from across the globe—Thai, Skunk, Indian, Haze, New Guinea, and Mexican varieties—each seed is a ticket to a different potential outcome, letting you select and clone your own perfect, personal keeper.

Why This Genetic Adventure is Worth Your Time

If you're tired of homogenized genetics and yearn for the authentic character of landrace and classic sativa influences, Walkabout is your answer. This isn't about chasing the highest THC percentage; it's about cultivating unique expressions, complex flavors, and that classic, soaring cerebral effect. It's for the grower who values the journey as much as the destination, offering incredible value through genetic diversity and the potential to find a mother plant unlike any other.

Key Features and Grower Benefits

• Regular Seeds: Provides both male and female plants, essential for breeding projects or selecting your own exceptional mother plant to clone indefinitely.
• Sativa-Dominant Heritage: Delivers the classic, uplifting, and creative cerebral high associated with legendary sativa strains, perfect for daytime use.
• Global Genetic Pool: A blend of Thai, Skunk, Indian, Haze, New Guinea, and Mexican genetics ensures a wide range of possible phenotypes, from flavor profiles to growth structures.
• Outdoor/Greenhouse Champion: Thrives in natural sunlight, reaching its full potential in height and yield when grown outside or under glass.
• Moderate Growing Difficulty: Offers a rewarding challenge for growers with some experience, teaching valuable skills in plant training and environment management.
• Extended Flowering Period: A 9-10 week flowering time allows for full terpene and cannabinoid development, resulting in a more complex and satisfying final product.
• High Yield Potential: When given space outdoors, plants can produce substantial harvests, rewarding your patience and care.

Addressing Common Grower Concerns

You might have some reservations about diving into a regular seed project. Let's clear those up.

• You think regular seeds are a hassle because you have to sex plants. In reality, this process is a fundamental and rewarding part of understanding cannabis cultivation, and it allows you to identify truly exceptional females for cloning.
• You're worried about the sativa height being unmanageable indoors. While they can stretch, techniques like Low-Stress Training (LST) or an early switch to 12/12 can effectively control height in indoor setups.
• You believe a 9-10 week flowering time is too long. This extended period is often what allows sativa-dominant plants to develop their unique, soaring highs and intricate aromatic profiles that faster-flowering hybrids can't match.
• You're concerned about finding males and wasting space. This is part of the regular seed experience. Planning for it means you can collect pollen for future breeding or simply remove males early to focus energy on your chosen females.

How to Cultivate Walkabout Successfully

1. Germination & Seedling Start: Germinate seeds using your preferred method (paper towel, direct sow) in a warm (22–26°C / 71.6–78.8°F), humid environment. Once sprouted, provide gentle light and avoid overwatering.
2. Vegetative Growth: Keep plants on an 18/6 light cycle if growing indoors. They will benefit from a rich, well-aerated substrate. This is the time to apply gentle LST to manage the expected sativa stretch and promote an even canopy.
3. Pre-Flowering & Sexing: After 4-6 weeks of veg, or when plants are mature, they will pre-flower. Identify and separate male plants early. For indoor grows, switch the light cycle to 12/12 to initiate full flowering.
4. The Flowering Stretch: Be prepared for significant height increase in the first 2-3 weeks of flowering (especially indoors). Ensure adequate vertical space and consider supporting heavy colas later in bloom.
5. Flowering & Ripening: Maintain a consistent environment with lower humidity (40-50%) to prevent mold. These plants will require a full 9-10 weeks of flowering to fully mature. Watch trichomes for the perfect harvest window.
6. Harvest & Curing: Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some amber, depending on your desired effect. Dry slowly in a dark, cool (18–20°C / 64.4–68°F), and well-ventilated space (50-60% RH) for 10-14 days. Cure in jars for a minimum of 2-4 weeks to refine flavor and potency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Walkabout seeds good for beginners?

They are best suited for growers with some experience due to their sativa-driven growth patterns, need for sexing, and longer flowering time. Beginners might prefer more forgiving feminized seeds.

How tall do Walkabout plants get?

Outdoors, they can easily reach 1.5–2.5 meters (4.92–8.20 ft). Indoors, with training and an early flip to 12/12, you can manage them to around 1.0–1.5 meters (3.28–4.92 ft).

What kind of yield can I expect?

Outdoor plants, given ample space and good conditions, can yield 400–600 grams (14.11–21.16 oz) per plant or more. Indoor yields are highly dependent on training and light but can be substantial per square meter.

What's the high like?

Expect a classic, sativa-dominant experience: cerebral, uplifting, euphoric, and creatively stimulating. It's ideal for daytime activities, socializing, or creative projects without heavy sedation.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Walkabout takes me back to the days of hunting through seed packs for that one special plant. I remember popping a few of these, and the variation was fascinating—one leaned heavily into a spicy, earthy Haze, while another had a sweeter, almost fruity Skunk vibe. The one I kept as a mother had this incredible soaring high that was perfect for a long day in the garden. My advice? Don't rush them. They need that full 10 weeks to really express themselves. I made the mistake of harvesting one slightly early, and it lacked the depth of the others. Give them space, use supports for the branches in late flower, and be patient during the cure. The reward is a smoke that feels authentic and unique, something you truly discovered yourself. It's not the easiest grow, but for the experience and the potential to find a lifelong favorite, it's absolutely worth it.
