Tortuga is like an island princess. A nice body, elegant style and a perfume somewhere in between fruit cocktail and a sea breeze. Impossible to miss the energy of her appearance as well as her fruity scent. Most can’t stop smiling around her. One pheno grows a bit taller than the other one. Besides that, they both develop very similarly. Both grow thick main flowers which swell up during the last two weeks of flowering. A stable and reliable strain for everyone, from beginner to pro. We crowned our princess by the end of a long search for the one and only. The search was hard, lots of different peoples’ opinions on how the one and only princess should look, smell or taste. We believe this is as close as you can get to perfection, ideal for chilling on the beach. We named our princess after her home island, Tortuga.
Strain FAQ
What gives cannabis a pineapple scent and taste?
Terpenes, especially Myrcene, are the secret sauce. Its earthy, musky scent turns sweet and delicious at certain intensities. Limonene offers lemony zest, and Pinene adds piney freshness. They're like a tropical fruit salad!
Are there any particular challenges with Sativa strains?
Yes, the vigorous growth and tall stature of Sativas can pose a challenge in confined spaces. Techniques such as "Screen of Green" (ScrOG), topping, and LST (Low Stress Training) are often employed to manage their height and promote more horizontal growth, making them more manageable indoors.
How might this strain's North American and Canadian heritage influence it?
North American and Canadian strains have evolved or been intentionally selected to thrive in a wide range of temperatures, from the humid Southeast to the cooler, drier North. Strong plants that can withstand a variety of environmental circumstances are helpful for breeders trying to generate resilient hybrid strains.
