Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live.
Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant.
The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed.
Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy.

Strain FAQ
How are sour cannabis strains created?
Selective breeding selects strains with strong sour terpene profiles to create offspring with more sour flavours. Terpene formation, which affects the strain's taste and aroma, depends on soil pH and light exposure.
What's the quality of single cannabis seeds like?
Our Single Cannabis Seeds are about quality and variety! All of the single seeds we sell are from expert breeders who guarantee genetic integrity and viability. This ensures that each little capsule of potential has a high chance of success!
Do High-THC strains require specific legal growing conditions?
High-THC strains are said to require extra care to reach their high THC level potential. To maximise THC expression, lighting, temperature, and nutrition must reportedly be perfect. Legal growers use a variety of ingenious methods to meet these markers and let each plant shine!
Does the light spectrum matter when it comes to indoor cannabis?
Indoor lighting customisation is reportedly like a magic wand. It is said that some legal growers adjust illumination to control plant growth and cannabinoid and terpene development. Increasing blue light, they say, could boost the plant's terpene profile and aroma 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.
