Flowering Time: 45 – 50 Days
Yield Potential: Extreme (650g/m²)
🤖 The Origin Story (Architectural Intent)
Velocity Raptor is a "Fast Version" engineered specifically for the commercial sector known as "Cash Cropping." The Neural Engine identified a market gap for a strain that yields like an industrial hemp plant but smokes like a boutique sativa.
The algorithm utilized an F4 Big Bud Auto not for its autoflowering trait, but for its recessive "rapid metabolism" gene. By crossing this with a high-energy Green Crack clone and then back-crossing to eliminate the autoflowering trigger, the system created a Photoperiod plant that "sprints" the moment the light cycle changes. It retains the vegetative control of a normal plant (you can veg it as big as you want) but flowers with the frantic urgency of an auto.
🚜 Grower's Field Notes
Difficulty: Easy (Commercial Grade) Structure: This plant is a beast of burden. It grows wide and squat with thick, bamboo-like stalks designed to hold massive weight. Unlike Chronos Trigger (which is vertical), Velocity Raptor is horizontal. It loves to be topped.
Feeding: It has an insatiable appetite. The Big Bud genetics demand heavy Phosphorus and Potassium (P-K) from Week 3 of flower onwards. It is very difficult to burn this plant; it eats nutrients as fast as you can pour them.
The Support Requirement: Trellising is mandatory. The buds get so heavy and round that branches will snap under their own weight by Day 40 if not supported. This is not a "lazy" grow; you need a sturdy net.
👁️ Bag Appeal (Visuals)
This is the textbook definition of "Commercial Bag Appeal." The buds are massive, rounded, and extremely dense—they make a "thud" when dropped on a table. The color is a standard, healthy forest green with very little variation, covered in a consistent (though not exotic) layer of trichomes. It looks like "classic weed." It’s not purple, it’s not neon; it’s just big, green, and frosty.
👃 The Palette (Terpenes)
Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene.
The Nose: It smells loud and aggressive. A mix of rotting mangoes and skunk spray. It’s the kind of smell that penetrates plastic bags.
The Inhale: The smoke is thick and expansive. It tastes earthy and sweet, with a generic "fruity" undertone that is hard to place—somewhere between mango and papaya.
The Exhale: Spicy and peppery, likely from the Caryophyllene. It’s a "dank" flavor profile that satisfies the average smoker but might bore the terpene snob.
⚡ The Effect (The High)
Velocity Raptor delivers a "workhorse" high.
Onset: A quick, buzzing head rush from the Green Crack parentage.
The Peak: It settles into a comfortable, happy, middle-of-the-road buzz. It’s energetic enough to function at a party, but relaxing enough to watch TV. It doesn’t push boundaries—it’s not trippy, and it’s not narcotic. It is simply "stoned."
The Utility: This is the perfect "all-day" smoke for high-tolerance users who need to function. It provides a mood lift without the incapacitation.
🏆 The Verdict
Velocity Raptor is the Profit Margin King. It is not designed to win the High Times Cannabis Cup for "Most Unique Terpene Profile." It is designed to fill bags. If you are a home grower who wants to fill 12 mason jars from a single light in under 8 weeks, this is the architecture you choose. It is reliability encoded in DNA.
