How to grow Ethiopian
THC 12% 
Flowering 91 - 98 days Taste
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.
Where it comes from
A classic African sativa landrace, offered by Ace Seeds in its regular form — the record names the Ethiopian landrace itself as the parent, which is the whole pedigree and needs no elaboration. This is unhybridised heritage, a true sativa from the Horn of Africa, prized by landrace enthusiasts for a unique aroma and a powerful, clear high. Nothing crossed in, nothing bred out.
Nose & flavour
Wood and earth at the base, with citrus lifting the top — a dry, resinous, distinctly African nose. Unusual and characterful, the sort of aroma that marks a landrace out from the polished hybrids beside it on the shelf. Clean rather than sweet.
The high
Euphoric, energetic and sharply focused — positive and stimulating, the classic upward pull of an African sativa. A bright, engaged experience that keeps the mind quick and the mood high. Daytime company, and lively with it.
Growing it
A landrace that demands patience and a proper climate: eleven to thirteen weeks of flowering, around 91 to 98 days, and a genuine tropical warmth to finish properly. Given both, she rewards you with incredibly dense, thick buds and her maximum yield. Her resilience is considerable — excellent resistance to moisture, mould, wind and heat, which suits her to any sunny climate. No height or yield figures are recorded, so I will not invent them. A long, sun-loving grow for someone who values the real thing over the quick one.

She smells of earth and heritage; nothing invented, nothing added.
