How to grow Ethiopian
Seb's take
A classic Ethiopian landrace that asks for a proper tropical climate and, given one, delivers dense, thick buds after eleven to thirteen patient weeks. Wood, earth, and citrus on the nose; the high is euphoric, energetic, and sharply focused. Weathers moisture, mould, wind, and heat with equal indifference.
Growing Ethiopian: what to expect
Regulars, which is to say unfeminized — the traditional article, favoured for breeding work. Budget for males in the count, and read up on identifying them early.
A 14-week flowering run — the scenic route. Worth it, generally, but plan your season around her rather than the other way about. See the flowering stage.
The listed THC is 12% — the gentler end of the scale, stated plainly. Harvest timing moves the needle more than most growers realise.
Earthy on the nose — the old-school profile, done properly.
Effects report as chiefly uplifting — she raises the tone of a room rather than lowering the lights.
