Strawberry HiTech
Lineage: Columbia x Panama BX3 IBL 1
- Flowering Time: 9-11 weeks indoors; harvests outdoors in late October in northern hemispheres.
- Breeder Notes: This cross combines the legendary Colombian landrace sativa—famous for its fruity terpenes—with a stabilized Panama BX3 IBL (backcrossed three times and inbred for consistency). The Panama component draws from classic Panama Red genetics, which contribute strawberry-like sweetness and resilience. The IBL designation ensures uniformity in traits, making it reliable for growers seeking predictable outcomes.
- Aroma: A burst of fresh strawberries dominates the nose, layered with tropical fruit notes from the Colombian side and earthy, herbal undertones from Panama. Subtle hints of citrus and spice emerge upon breaking the buds, creating an inviting, sweet-yet-zesty profile.
- Flavor: On inhale, expect a smooth, candy-like strawberry sweetness that evolves into fruity citrus and pine on the exhale.
- Growing Tips: Thrives in warm, humid climates mimicking its equatorial origins. Resistant to mold and pests thanks to Panama genetics, but monitor for stretch during veg.
- Preferred Environment: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse; performs best with ample sunlight or high-intensity lights.
Strawberry HiTech is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that blends the vibrant qualities of classic landrace genetics into a modern cultivar.
