Ethiopian Cannabis Seeds from Ace Seed bank

The Ethiopian is a pure tropical African sativa, of great value and interest for pure sativa lovers and for preservationists.

It produces a classic African tropical sativa phenotype: tall, vigorous, flexible, strongly branched plants with long node length. Excellent resistance against moisture, fungus, wind and heat.

The long flowering time is compensated by a good final yield (when is properly cultivated with strong light intensity and warm temperatures), and for its cerebral effect of great quality, highly appreciated by sativa lovers looking for the more active, sociable, kind and positive effects, always well focused, and without producing paranoia, mental or body heaviness.

Earthy and woody African sativa aromas, with floral, musky and fermented citrus touches.

Cannabinoid analyses recently performed on this pure Ethiopian have shown a significant THCV content of 2%.

Structure Tropical sativa structure, strong, vigorous, of strong branching and long node length.
Bouquet Earthy and woody African sativa aromas, with floral, musky and fermented citrus touches.
High Classic African sativa effect: clean, cerebral, uplifting and positive, of moderate strength. It leaves you happy and light, with a big smile on the face. Without mental or body heaviness. Perfect for day time smoke and for activities.
Terpene profile It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: high amounts of alpha pinene, followed by beta myrcene, trans ocimene and beta pinene in more moderate quantities, with variability in the presence of small amounts of limonene and terpinolene. Sesquiterpenes: mainly beta-caryophyllene, followed by alpha-humelene, with variability in the presence of small amounts of trans-nerolidol.
Growing Tips It can be grown indoors with strong light intensity and with enough space for its development.
We recommend to switch her into flowering after 15 days from seed, or starting from clones rooted for at least 7 days. We recommend 11 (light)/13 (darkness) photoperiod for the flowering indoors, in order to boost the flowering, and to avoid reflowerings or excessive stretching in early flowering. Very suitable for SOG crops due to its great yield in the main cola, or for SCROG, horizontal or network growing due to its excellent yield in the lateral branches and its vigorous reaction to pruning. Outdoors, it is especially suitable for outdoor cultivation in tropical or subtropical climates, although it can be cultivated with very good results in warm coastal climates of mild autumn (similar to the Mediterranean) up to latitudes close to 40º. We recommend soft NPK levels in the growing stage, increasing PK from 3rd week of flowering. When Ethiopian is properly grown, the yield is high, both indoors and outdoors. Genetic analyses show that this Ethiopian has an uncommon genotype, of moderate genetic variability, only showing direct kinship with other genetic samples from the same Ethiopian family and with a South African sativa. This Ethiopian is an interesting sativa to develop sativa hybrids of huge vigor and yield, with clean and energetic effects. And to develop hybrids with the potential to have a significant THCV content.

Strain FAQ

Do landrace cannabis strains have different affects and uses?

Landrace strains' genetics and growth environment affect their impacts and therapeutic characteristics. Certain strains are appreciated for their euphoric effects and others for their reported therapeutic benefits including pain relief or anti-inflammatory properties.

How can cannabis enthusiasts learn from regular seeds?

Regular seeds are a gateway to the production of new and exciting strains. They can also show valuable information on cannabis' life cycle and genetics and how to recognise and manage both male and female plants.

Why is legal indoor year-round production practiced?

This is simply because indoor legal grow chambers allow cannabis growing year-round. This freedom from seasonality allows legal growers to produce fresh cannabis year-round and harvest many times, which is obviously much more difficult under the open sky.

What does this strain's African and Middle Eastern background mean?

African cannabis landrace strains, especially around the equator like Ethiopia, are among the oldest. These genetically pure strains have adapted to their respective settings for decades. Landrace strains from Afghanistan and Lebanon are resilient and produce strong resin, which is needed for hashish manufacture.

How do average-yielding strains handle pests and diseases?

Many of them have reportedly developed natural resistances to common pests and diseases thanks to their varied genetics. This resilience is said to make them easier to maintain and can reduce the need for chemical treatments. This is an overall win for legal organic growers and those focused on sustainable methods.
