Exotic Witch is a connoisseur variety. This unique cultivar descends from a rare landrace variety and offers a pleasant medley of pungent terps.
All of the best cannabis strains on the market started out as landraces that developed naturally in the wild. Exotic Witch shares this story. It’s an indica-dominant polyhybrid variety with parent strains from entirely different regions.
Half of her genetics stem from a landrace sativa discovered deep in the rainforests of the West Indies. A cannabis field geneticist stumbled upon the specimen and brought it back to the state of California. Here, breeders crossed it with an old indica variety from NorCal. Exotic Witch was teased out of the mix and stabilised over several generations. The result is a highly aromatic strain that packs a stoning punch.
Exotic Witch descends from both sativa and indica ancestors. However, it’s the indica genetics that have punched to the forefront. The strain produces a primarily stoning effect that sets in with haste. Within seconds from the first hit, a creeping sensation of relaxation works its way across the body. Tension begins to dissolve, pain may subside, and mood increases.
Exotic Witch is mainly suitable for evening and nighttime use. Her sedating effects will help you kick back, relax, and watch a film or read. It will boost your appetite before dinner, and lull you to sleep at bedtime.
The strain produces compact, tapered flowers laden with trichomes. These minute structures churn out a THC level of around 20%. Exotic Witch’s trichomes also provide a diverse array of aromatic terpenes. These chemicals produce fantastic scents and tastes of sourness, Kush, tropical fruit, flowers, and sandalwood.
Exotic Witch displays an indica growth pattern. The strain handles indoor and outdoor conditions well and maintains a medium height. Plants grown indoors produce an average yield of 500g/m² after a flowering time of around 56 days. Plants cultivated outdoors produce an impressive 550g/plant, ready to harvest in early October.
