Seb's take
A Guatemalan sativa crossed with a Kush/Haze hybrid and backcrossed to Guatemala again, easy to cultivate and generous with her yield outdoors. Wood, sour and fruity notes with a strawberry lift on the nose; the high is focused, euphoric and energetic, a straightforward sativa without complication.
Where it comes from
Ace Seeds built Tikal on Central American stock, a Guatemalan sativa crossed with a Kush/Haze hybrid and then backcrossed to Guatemala again, tightening the landrace character with each pass. She runs 75 percent sativa, and the name, borrowed from the great Maya city, sits comfortably with a plant whose heart is so plainly Guatemalan. A deliberate return to the source, the second cross to Guatemala being the tell that the breeder wanted that heritage to lead.
Nose & flavour
Wood and sour up front, fruity underneath, with the record noting a strawberry aroma to her sweet flowers. It is the strawberry lift that lightens an otherwise earthy, sour profile, keeping her from reading too austere. Wood grounds it, the sourness sharpens it, and the fruit rounds it off: a straightforward sativa nose with a pleasant berry note through the middle.
The high
Focused, euphoric and energetic, the clean sativa reading her genetics promise. No complication here, and none needed: an uplifting, driving effect that keeps the head clear and the mood high. The sort of experience that suits a task or a walk rather than an armchair, straightforward and generous with its energy.
Growing it
High-yielding and vigorous, and by the record's account easy to cultivate, finishing outdoors with well-developed branches full of sweet flower. She takes a long flower, 70 to 84 days, which is the price of a sativa this pure, and no height figure is given, so I will not guess one. Treat her as a generous, forgiving outdoor plant that rewards patience across a longer calendar. Give her the season she asks for and she returns it in volume.
