New Caledonia

Overview

A recent expedition brought back an exotic pure Sativa strain from New Caledonia, wowing us with its sweet, fruity terpenes and strong euphoric, psychedelic effects. It’s considered one of the finest local sativas in years.

Growth Traits

This vigorous, tall plant can reach 3-4 meters outdoors and multiplies in size during flowering. It thrives outdoors in warm, direct light, producing dense, resinous flowers with a high flower to leaf ratio.

Aromas & Effects

This strain impresses with its tropical sweetness, lemon, and musk aromas, offering a clean, cerebral, and euphoric high. It promotes creativity and a playful spirit, leaving users in an optimistic, peaceful mood without any negativity or paranoia.

• Genetics: 2nd-generation pure Sativa from New Caledonia.
• Structure: Pure tropical sativa structure, tall, flexible, with strong branching and large internode distance.
• Bouquet: Incredibly refined aromas of sweet tropical tutti-frutti (sometimes a little sour), flower petals with a creamy sweet surrounding and a powerful lemony and musky background. When ground up, spicy, herbal and geranium touches come out. The flavour is initially fresh, bittersweet and lemony, slightly minty, then dense, resinous, with sweet fruity, spicy and herbal touches.
• High: Very clean, clear and cerebral initial psychoactivity (dispelling heaviness in the head, while areas of the brain are activated and massaged and tickled), expansive, euphoric and motivating (making you want to do things in a good mood and with a smile). It develops in a happy, playful, creative and intense way (like a huge inner energy wanting to explode), becoming more enveloping, psychedelic and sensory (it increases intensity and empathy with sensory stimuli). You come back to earth two hours later in an optimistic, constructive, warm and peaceful mood, still with good energy. Some plants can produce effects with a more ‘stoned’ sensation, as if you were drunk, with droopy red eyes, bringing on verbal diarrhoea and euphoric silliness, with some loss of physical coordination, but without becoming heavy. Although most plants are psychologically very kind, and have a clean and outgoing development, all of them will leave you smiling and positive at the end, with a calm feeling of well-being, with no negativity or paranoia. Overall, a sativa of moderate-high potency and duration, with first-rate effects.
• Terpene profile: Complex and rich terpene profile. It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: very high amounts of terpinolene and myrcene, followed by high trans-ocimene content, smaller amounts of alpha pinene, limonene and beta pinene, with variability in the presence of linalool and gamma-terpinene traces. Sesquiterpenes: very high content of beta-caryophyllene, high amounts of alpha humulene, with variability in the presence of alpha bisabolol and trans nerolidol in smaller quantities.
• Growing Tips: It can be grown indoors with strong light intensity and with enough space for its development. The breeder recommends to switch her into flowering after 15 days from seed, or starting from clones rooted for at least 7 days. The breeder recommends 11 (light)/13 (darkness) photoperiod for the flowering indoors, in order to boost the flowering, and to avoid reflowerings or excessive stretching in early flowering. Very suitable for SCROG, horizontal or network growing due to its excellent yield in the lateral branches and its vigorous reaction to pruning. Outdoors, it is especially suitable for outdoor cultivation in tropical or subtropical climates, although it can be cultivated with very good results in warm coastal climates of mild autumn (similar to the Mediterranean) up to latitudes close to 43º. The breeder recommends soft NPK levels during the growing stage, increasing PK from 3rd-4th week of flowering. When New Caledonia is properly grown, the yield is high, especially outdoors. Genetic analysis of this New Caledonian sativa shows that this variety has a rare and unique genotype, with moderate genetic variability. It is an interesting sativa to develop incredibly vigorous and high-yielding sativa hybrids with refined fruity terpenes, and clean, energetic and psychedelic effects of the highest quality.
