Description
Horchata is a hybrid variety with a slight indica dominance that arises, according to most research, from the cross between Jet Fuel Gelato and Mochi Gelato, combining the best of this legendary family with the Diesel lineage. Its name pays homage to the famous drink from Valencia, as the blend of creamy vanilla, coffee, and cinnamon flavors reminds of the original tiger nut horchata.
This variety has THC levels that can reach up to 23%, making its effects notable and long-lasting, yet manageable. Upon consuming this strain, there is an almost instant relaxation felt, though without feeling dazed or sleepy. Moreover, it also improves mood, boosts creativity, and provides a pleasurable sensation ideal for enjoying relaxed moments.
The terpene profile of Horchata is led by caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene, contributing to an intense and complex aroma. Upon inhaling, creamy vanilla notes can be felt merging with sour herbal undertones and subtle earthy hints of coffee, cinnamon, and chocolate, making this variety a palate delight.
Due to its indica dominance, individuals of this variety tend to grow compact during the vegetative phase, though they experience a significant stretch once the flowering phase begins. Therefore, it is advisable to perform training techniques to control its height in grow rooms.
Horchata is a good producer that, under ideal conditions, can provide yields of up to 400-500 grams per square meter to be harvested at 63-70 days of flowering.
Outdoors, Horchata shows vigorous growth and great resistance to biotic stress, making it an excellent choice for outdoor growers. It develops large leaves and robust branches with a medium internodal distance, making it easy to handle.
During flowering, it significantly stretches, producing bulky central colas that can protrude from the canopy. Under optimal conditions, yields of up to 1000 grams per plant can be expected, and harvest is usually ready by early or mid-October.
