Cafe Racer

A delightful embodiment of modern American genetics, Cafe Racer is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for sativa connoisseurs. The strain stands out for its stunning potency and impressive flavor profile, along with its unparalleled characteristics and attractive appearance.

Genetics and Characteristics

The genetic backbone of the feminized photoperiod Cafe Racer is made up of two exceptional American strains: Girl Scout Cookies and Granddaddy Purple. Despite its 70/30 sativa dominance, flowering lasts only 8-10 weeks. Indoors, the plants with their distinctive hybrid structure manage to produce 350-450 g/m2 (12-16 oz) of top-quality buds that are long, dense, and highly resinous. Outdoors, a single plant will reward the grower with 700-800 g (25-28 oz) of equally superior flowers. The THC content is also impressive, at no less than 25%!

Flavor and Aroma

The pronounced sweetness of citrus is invigorating and uplifting, complemented by earthiness and distinct notes of spices. A few twists in the grinder and the dried flowers reveal more refined aromas of pine and grape. The smooth and pleasant smoke is enriched with nuances of pastry, mint, berries, fuel, musk, cream, and nuts.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Cafe Racer is customized to lead the race from the first lap. If you decide to join in, be prepared for a stimulating sativa kick that will rev up your mind. Later, as you approach the finish line, the powerful acceleration will gradually give way to a numbing physical relaxation. If you're not ready for such intensity, practice moderate dosing and enjoy the whirlwind of energy and clarity that will inspire you to overcome any challenge.

The predominance of myrcene and humulene in the terpene profile, combined with refreshing eucalyptol, effectively combats muscle spasms and various types of pain, including chronic ones. The presence of limonene contributes to reducing fatigue and preventing psychoemotional disorders.

Cultivation

With its versatility, resilience, and adaptability to any growing environment, Cafe Racer is an excellent choice for beginners looking to embark on their growing journey. Due to its innate immunity and the action of flavonoids, the plant is reliably protected against insects and pathogenic bacteria. However, do not overestimate the strain's protective properties, as even the most invincible fortress can fall under constant external aggression. Check your plants regularly and use natural insecticides preventively.

Germinate the seeds using the classic wet method with paper towels or a damp sponge.

If you plan to grow outdoors with the option of moving plants indoors in case of inclement weather, use fabric grow bags (smart pots) with a capacity of at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons).

Indoors, we recommend maintaining optimal microclimate conditions. During the flowering stage, the daytime temperature should be kept within the range of 22-29 °C, with a drop of 5-7 degrees at night. Relative humidity should not exceed 60% during the vegetative stage, below 50% during flowering, and around 30% at the peak of maturity. In an enclosed space, it's essential to install a carbon filter and ensure adequate ventilation. Meeting the basic cultivation requirements will result in an epic harvest of delicious resinous buds covered with a frost of crystalline trichomes.
