Permanent Marker by Mavericks Genetics takes its name from its aroma, a sharp floral funk with a gassy, ink-like edge. Bred from Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx, it is a 70% Indica / 30% Sativa feminized hybrid rated at 27% THC (± 2%).
The colas show shades of green and purple with occasional orange hairs, all under a thick blanket of trichomes. Total terpenes reach 3.20%, so the smell is impossible to miss.
Expect an 8-9 week bloom with up to 550 g/m² (1.80 oz/ft²) indoors and up to 850 g (30.0 oz) per plant outdoors. In the Northern Hemisphere, outdoor harvest arrives in early October.
Permanent Marker Lineage: Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx
Biscotti brings Cookies density, sweetness and dark coloring. Jealousy adds modern gas, strong resin output and vigor. The Sherb Bx backcross locks in color and a creamy, floral layer that softens the gassy core.
The plant is Indica-leaning, medium in height and branches well. Mavericks lists a 99% feminization rate.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The nose combines floral perfume with a gassy funk, and together they create the chemical, marker-like note that gave the strain its name. On the palate, the floral side shows on the inhale and the gas takes over on the exhale, leaving a lasting, pungent finish.
The effect starts with a euphoric rush that lifts the mood quickly, then flows into a deep, comfortable relaxation. It is a strong evening strain that works for unwinding, music and films.
The aroma is not for everyone, and that is exactly the point. Collectors looking for something unusual, beyond the usual fruit and dessert profiles, will find a distinctive and memorable smell that only gets stronger after a slow dry and a careful cure in sealed jars.
Growing Permanent Marker Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, top once and train the side branches outward with LST. A SCROG net helps spread the canopy and keeps colas evenly lit. Strong carbon filtration is recommended, since the floral-gas aroma becomes intense in late bloom.
Outdoors, full sun and roomy containers or open ground allow plants to reach the breeder figure of 850 g (30.0 oz). The early-October finish in the Northern Hemisphere gives it a margin before late-season rain in many regions.
Cooler night temperatures in the final weeks can deepen the purple tones without slowing ripening.
Feed steadily through mid-bloom and keep humidity below 50% in the last two weeks. The dense, resin-heavy colas hold moisture, so good airflow under and through the canopy is important, especially in larger tents.
