AMETHYST: Mendo Queen x Paki Chitral Kush
Amethyst brings us a new rendition of purple cannabis.
The mother is a descendant of the Mendo Purps, a long-held Mendocino strain that derives its origins from Pakistani Chitrali purples from the past. It holds a spicy gas flavor with a tangy berry overtone. The Paki Chitral Kush is a stud, landrace male, with purple pods and stems, which we obtained from Ace Seeds. The structure is bushy and squat.
Expect to see some more variation in structure in this F1 cross. Some seeds may take on the frosty Mendo look, while others may contribute more vigor with a raw landrace feel.
Strain FAQ
What makes tangy cannabis strains smell citrusy?
Tangy cannabis strains smell like lemons and oranges because of limonene, a terpene. This terpene gives these strains their fresh, tangy scent.
Do high-yielding strains resist pests and diseases?
On the one hand it is known that their increased biomass makes them vulnerable to pests and illnesses. However, on the other hand, breeding has enhanced their genetic resistance. New strains are being created all the time that promise high yields as well as good disease and pest resistance.
How do outdoor cannabis plants manage water more efficiently?
Thanks to their deeper root systems, outdoor cannabis plants are adept at tapping into moisture reserves deep in the soil, giving them an edge in drier conditions. This not only makes them more resilient but is also said to potentially enhance the quality of the cannabis.
