Strain Name: Iron Lattice
Lineage: Critical Mass (Bilbo Cut) x Industrial Plant (Dinafem Legacy)
Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid (60/40)
THC Content: 20% – 23%
Flowering Time: 50 – 55 Days
Yield Potential: Massive (750g/m²)
🤖 The Origin Story (Architectural Intent)
Iron Lattice marks the beginning of Series C: The Structural Group, where the focus shifts from flavor to Architecture.
The modern commercial facility is moving upward—Vertical Farming. The Neural Engine was tasked with creating a plant specifically for multi-tier racking systems (File 15). The problem with traditional heavy yielders (like Big Bud) is that their branches snap under the weight, requiring labor-intensive staking.
By crossing the monstrous production of Critical Mass with the woody, fibrous durability of Industrial Plant, the algorithm targeted a specific phenotype: a plant with stems like rebar. Iron Lattice is designed to hold massive colas without bending, breaking, or requiring a trellis net, saving thousands of dollars in labor costs.
🚜 Grower's Field Notes
Difficulty: Very Easy Structure: The name is literal. This plant grows in a perfect grid. The branches grow at distinct 45-degree angles and harden off early, becoming woody and rigid. It naturally forms a flat canopy with very little training.
Vertical Farming: This is the #1 choice for rack growing. It stays short (under 3 feet), finishes fast, and doesn't flop over into the aisles.
Yield Efficiency: It has one of the highest Flower-to-Leaf Ratios in the catalog. It produces very few fan leaves in the bud sites, meaning light penetrates deep into the plant, and trimming takes half the time of a normal strain.
Feeding: It is an industrial feeder. It can handle high EC (2.5+) without burning. It converts nutrients into biomass at a frightening speed.
👁️ Bag Appeal (Visuals)
These buds are "Bricks." They are exceptionally dense, heavy, and uniform. They often have a "squared-off" look due to growing so tightly against each other. The color is a light, dusty green with muted orange pistils. It doesn't look "exotic"; it looks like high-grade construction material.
👃 The Palette (Terpenes)
Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Pinene, Skatole.
The Nose: Classic, old-school production weed. It smells like sweet skunk, pine wood, and lemon cleaner. It is pleasant and strong, but not unique. It smells like "Amsterdam in the 90s."
The Inhale: thick and expanding. It has a sweet, woody taste with a hint of pepper.
The Exhale: Earthy and musky.
⚡ The Effect (The High)
Iron Lattice delivers a "Standard Deviation" high.
Onset: Quick and reliable.
The Peak: It is a balanced hybrid stone. It relaxes the body without couch-locking it, and stimulates the mind without racing thoughts. It is the "Budweiser" of cannabis effects—consistent, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone.
The Utility: Perfect for commercial dispensaries needing a budget-friendly "House Shelf" strain that never disappoints but doesn't challenge the consumer.
🏆 The Verdict
Iron Lattice is the Facility Manager's Best Friend. It is engineered to reduce OpEx (Operational Expenditure). It requires less labor to trim, less labor to support, and yields more per square foot than almost anything else. It is the backbone of the modern vertical canopy.
