African is the catch-all name given to pure sativa landrace strains native to the African continent. Buds may develop differently depending on the region where they are cultivated. The top reported aromas of African strains are spices, herbs, and sweet grass. And they are said to taste like earth, herbs, and sugar.
African strains are 100% sativa landraces that produce mostly tall plants with slender leaves thanks to their genetics. They have average flowering times between 56 and 63 days indoors and mid-October outdoors. They are known to produce high yields in ideal conditions but may do best with an experienced hand. African strains grow indoors or outdoors though their native heritage suggests a hot, dry climate will produce the best results. African landraces are available as seeds. Clones may be available directly from cultivators growing these strains.
