TEC 9 is an Indica dominant cross of a 2001 NL9 and our very own AK Confidential. This strain is another cross of legends that have dominated cannabis cups and been some of the most popular in demand strains to ever grace the menu's of Dutch coffee shops. NL 9 is a cross between the classic strains NL5, White Widow and Durban. All of which are known as heavy hitters which is why we thought it would be fun to cross them with two of the industries other big guns AK-47 and LA Confidential. Plants grow in a typical Indica dominant short size and produce good yields flowering in about 8 weeks. Dry buds appear almost silver in colour from the resin and the smoke has a hash like smell and taste. The knock out high is the stand out feature of this strain. In flower the plant does not have a very strong smell making it good for growers needing to take a little more care with aroma's than others but when smoked the true strength of this strain reveals its self. The high can have a strong couch lock effect but also has an influence of Sativa in the background to add a little more of a euphoric edge to it.
Strain FAQ
Do hybrid strains have unique terpene profiles?
Breeders combine terpene profiles from different parent strains to create hybrids with unique scents and flavours. This mix of terpene profiles creates unique fragrant molecules that give cannabis its unique smells.
Which terpenes give these strains their hashy taste?
Indica strains with hashy flavours have earthy, musky aromas and relaxant myrcene. Caryophyllene's spicy, peppery scent and endocannabinoid system interaction give the strain distinct overtones. Humulene's earthy, woody, anti-inflammatory effects enhance the hash-like fragrance. Pine adds freshness to earthy and pungent flavours.
Are shorter cannabis strains more resilient?
Short strains are frequently stronger because of their indica genetics and the harsh environments they evolved in. They endure temperature changes and pests better, making them less laborious.
Are there CBD-rich Central Asian cannabis strains?
Yes, many of these strains have high CBD levels despite their high THC levels. They are said to be able to aid medicinal users seeking comfort without strong intoxicating effects.
