Tikal is a sativa hybrid with Central American genetics, originating from the jungles of Guatemala.
Its happy and stimulant effect is reminiscent of the best old mexican sativas.
It is a good yielding and vigorous sativa that is easy to cultivate. When grown outdoors it finishes with well developed branches, full of sweet flowers of strawberry aroma.
Strain FAQ
How are breeders using heat-resistant strain genetics?
Breeders want to add these heat-resistant genes to other strains. Crossbreeding attempts to increase the genetic pool and expand cultivation possibilities across climates. Great strides are being made every day in this area!
Can feminised cannabis strains create male flowers?
Feminised strains are designed to be nearly always female, yet nature can occasionally throw them curveballs. They may produce male flowers under extreme stress such as irregular light cycles or environmental pressure. This shows that even with thorough genetic selection, other factors are necessary to keep plants on track!
Which terpenes give cannabis its incense flavour?
Incense flavour comes from several terpenes. Myrcene is earthy and musky, linalool spicy and flowery, caryophyllene woody and peppery, and humulene earthy. Pineene refreshes the incense character with its piney richness.
As days shorten, how do these strains manage light efficiency?
They maximise light during late summer and early autumn's shorter days. This is said to allow them to produce high yields even as daylight decreases.
Why do SE Asian strains flower later?
These strains have sativa traits, which extend flowering to 10–14 weeks. Due to their native climates' long growing seasons, they flower longer, allowing them to reach their full potential.
