This pure cannabis strain is very underestimated! It has its ancestors in the Ketama region and was subject to an intense breeding program, which resulted in a very resinous outdoor-strain.
Buds smell like Ketama, are long and slender with an open structure. Unfortunately it needs the Moroccan climate and soil-type to get the pure Ketama taste. But instead of this pure Ketama taste, the European version develops an enormous aromatic smell so special that you can’t resist the smell of it – not to mention the smoke!
The best sowing time is mid April to mid May. Flowering starts mid-July in Holland. We wouldn't recommend pre-growing them indoors, because they are semi-auto-flowering and this would cause them to start flowering in May outdoors. They need the longer days and intensive midsummer sun to keep them in growth. Not recommended for indoor.
- Height: 1 - 1.5m
- Flowering time: 7 weeks
- Harvest time: Half July till end September in the Netherlands
- Harvest: Good
- Taste / Smell: irresistible flowery aroma and ketama taste
- Effect: Body stone, with a broader effect than hash, thanks to the cannabinoïds combination
Strain FAQ
So how do flower tasting strains tie into cannabis and aromatherapy?
Floral cannabis strains' aromas are similar to lavender and rose essential oils. They have been used in aromatherapy to try and create certain effects.
Why do IBL cannabis strains produce a stable result?
Many generations of inbreeding from a single mother plant or a closed gene pool give IBL strains genetic constancy. This careful breeding approach enables uniform phenotype expression across generations, ensuring predictable strain development, potency, and flavour.
What does this strain's African and Middle Eastern genetics mean for its cannabinoid profiles?
African strains have different CBD and THCV compositions that offer many therapeutic benefits. However, Middle Eastern genotypes produce significant THC and resin, which are valuable in hashish manufacture.
