After 3 years of selecting these rare genetics we found this delicious sweet taste which we started crossing with our powerful strain Light of Jah.

We should now have an idea as to what we are looking for in terms of a good quality smoke. We are looking for non-pollinated female plants that have flowered, producing lots of buds with resin glands that contain high levels and amounts of THC.
