How to grow Honduras
Taste
Seb's take
A pure landrace sativa straight out of Honduras, unmodified and content to stay that way. Vanilla, spice and citrus on the nose with floral and woody undertones; the high is clean, happy and energetic, built for daylight and conversation. Honest, uncomplicated, and entirely true to its origin.
Where it comes from
A pure landrace sativa out of Honduras, kept by Ace Seeds exactly as it came — no crossing, no improving, no interference. There is no parentage to trace beyond the country itself, which is rather the point: the appeal is the unbroken thread back to where it grew wild. Equatorial genetics, unmodified, and content to stay that way.
Nose & flavour
Vanilla leads, softer than you might expect from a pure sativa, with spice and citrus behind it and a floral, woody edge rounding the whole. An aromatic, feel-good nose rather than a pungent one — the sort that suits daylight and good conversation as much as the effect does.
The high
Clean and energetic — the classic feel-good sativa lift. Happy and euphoric, with a burst of energy that suits a working day or a social one, and a creative streak that makes it good company for the hands as well as the head. Bright throughout, with none of the weight of an indica.
Growing it
A long haul, as landrace sativas tend to be — 91 to 98 days in flower, which asks for patience and a season with the length to accommodate it. The record gives no height or yield figure, so take her on character: an equatorial sativa will stretch and reach, so allow generous headroom and a warm, long finish. Potency is a gentle 8 to 13%, an easygoing high rather than an overwhelming one. Regular seed, and a plant for the purist over the hurried.

Common questions about Honduras
How long does Honduras take to flower?
Around 14 weeks of flowering, by the breeder's numbers. She takes her time; the result is the argument for it.
Is Honduras an autoflower or a photoperiod strain?
Regular photoperiod seed — expect males and females in the packet, and plan to identify the males early.
How strong is Honduras?
The breeder lists THC around 13%. The gentler end of the scale.
What does Honduras smell and taste like?
The nose runs sweet — dessert-adjacent, without apology.
