The KwaZulu landrace is an interesting strain being used in the Zulu tribe under ting Shaka Zulu. These plants boast a THC reading of 17%. This strain is found from Cato Ridge to the Drakensberg Ridge mountain range. In these plants’ natural environment, they get to an insane size of 5 meters with a Christmas tree structure. The weather from the region during the veg. months is 28 – 32 Celsius and 86% relative humidity while during winter months when flowering happens temperatures drop from 24 down to 8 Celsius and relative humidity is around 60%
This strain is pest resistant as well as resilient to powdery mildew in high humidity regions. The effects when samples are high euphoria with a long-lasting energizing high. Most of the plants have a Christmas tree structure.
Most of the plants easily reach heights of up to 5 metres in their natural outdoor environment.
Pine and pepper are the most common terpenes to be found in this strain, however, a pheno smelling of passion fruit has been also found in this strain.
This strain does not taste the best even after a cure but the kick after a few tokes leaves you forgetting about the taste and giggling like it’s your first high. The effect I long-lasting and slows down into a calm euphoria.
Outdoor and greenhouse work best for this strain, the stretch during pre-flower can quickly become out of control!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
These landraces aren’t like normal seeds, the shells are really hard, and require slightly different germination from normal hybrids. The breeder recommends the below germination method:
Soak seeds for 48 hours, then transfer them to a paper towel, & put them in a warm area &/or use a heating pad. Once they have popped, transfer to your chosen growing medium.
