How to grow Krystalica
Taste
Seb's take
A limited-edition cross of Kerala and Nepalese landrace lines, robust and vigorous enough to thrive in real heat with strong pest resistance. Strawberry perfumes the growing space ahead of a smooth, potent high. Best suited outdoors in the sun, though she'll take to a Sea of Green indoors without complaint.
Where it comes from
A limited-edition cross from Mandala Seeds, joining a Kerala landrace from South India with a Nepalese line, both mountain-hardened sativa stock. The Kerala contributes the smooth, potent character; the Nepalese half the vigour and the resilience. Three-quarters sativa in the reckoning, and robust with it, bred from genetics accustomed to real heat and thin soil. Proper landrace foundations under a modern release.
Nose & flavour
A beautiful strawberry aroma perfumes the growing space, brighter and sweeter than the landrace lineage might lead you to expect. It fills a room agreeably. A genuinely pretty nose.
The high
Smooth and potent, the sort of clean, well-mannered sativa effect that reflects its high-altitude parentage. Characterful without being harsh. One to enjoy at an unhurried pace.
Growing it
Robust and vigorous with a sativa structure, she carries high resistance to both pests and heat, best grown outdoors in warm, sunny conditions where the yield runs highest. Indoors she takes well to a Sea of Green, planted close together for a better return. Flowering runs 65 to 72 days, yields 450 g/m², and THC 18 to 20%. The record sets no height, though the sativa build suggests some stretch. A regular line, so expect both sexes from the pack.
