Borneo is a unique strain that offers a flavor of tropical paradise. Are you a fan of sativa hybrids? Have you ever wished they were shorter? Dreams do come true! This lady will make you an offer you can't refuse, offering the perfect balance in both cultivation and consumption.
Genetics and Characteristics
Borneo is a feminized photoperiodic strain that combines the best features of two popular parents: Shiskaberry and Tijuana. The sativa dominance (70/30) ensures the exceptional flavor and aroma of Tijuana, while Shiskaberry gives the plant flexibility with its vigorous vegetative growth, ensuring a smooth journey throughout the plant's life cycle.
Indoors, Borneo usually reaches a height of 150 cm (59 inches), but outdoors, it unleashes its sativa potential, towering up to 2 m (6.5 ft). The plant has a Christmas tree structure, forming long branches with wide internodes and an abundance of large, elongated, resinous, highly fragrant buds. The flowering period lasts 75-78 days, with the optimal time for outdoor harvest falling in the second half of October.
Flavor and Aroma
The broad terpene profile of Borneo is a true symphony of flavors and aromas. When you light up the dried and cured buds and take your first puff, Borneo's flavors evolve into a delightful mix of citrus, pine, and spicy tones, finishing with the sweetness of ripe fruits and berries, an exquisite haze palette, and the distinctive Afghani traits of hash, spice, and of course, earthiness.
Recreational and Medicinal Use
Borneo's effects, fueled by an 18-20% THC content, are truly unique. It showers users with unbridled sativa joy, cerebral euphoria, and boundless energy. This strain is perfect for unlocking inspiration, facilitating creative solutions, and boosting motivation. The high percentage of the psychoactive cannabinoid requires responsible and moderate use, especially for those with low THC tolerance.
Borneo is an excellent choice for those who are looking for pain relief without feeling tired or drowsy.
Cultivation
Borneo is a versatile strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. For indoor cultivation, be sure to meet minimal microclimate requirements and provide full-spectrum LED lighting. When choosing a pot, opt for smart pots or airpots with a capacity of at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons), as the root system of this strain is as massive as its above-ground canopy. Use the wet method of seed germination and maintain sterile conditions during planting.
In your pursuit of quality and the best flavor profiles, take heed of the experts at KADAMA. We recommend organic cultivation with the use of boosters during the flowering stage. Borneo is absolutely open to all types of training. Moreover, its stable genetics allow experimentation with high-stress techniques. During flowering, control humidity levels, as the dense buds of this strain are susceptible to mold.
