Maroc

Maroc will be a real find for connoisseurs of truly rare cannabis strains, as it possesses an original palette of flavors and aromas, as well as unparalleled potency. Vigorous, versatile and resilient, this hybrid stands out for its high productivity and unique characteristics.

Genetics and Characteristics

The progenitors of feminized photoperiodic Maroc are pure African indica and sativa landraces native to the northern part of Morocco. In particular, breeders selected rare varieties growing in the legendary Ketama valley, which has gained worldwide fame as the land of the finest hashish strains. Crossing and stabilizing these authentic strains, the breeders didn't stop there, adding the iconic autoflowering Northern Lights to speed up maturation, creating a strain with some semi-automatic features, although remaining a photoperiod one.

The plant has a compact yet open structure with strong lateral branching and short internodes, producing dense, pyramidal, highly resinous colas. The hybrid takes only 7-8 weeks to flower, and outdoor harvest can be expected in mid-September. Indoor yields can reach up to 400 g/m² (14 oz) of top-quality buds, while a single outdoor plant can produce about 550 g (19 oz) of amazing product with THC levels up to 22%.

Flavor and Aroma

Maroc has a distinctive old-school aroma, rich with distinct notes of citrus and pine, spice, and earthy hashish. The flavor palette is characterized by sweet and sour dominance, with increased oiliness and peppery undertones on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The balance of this hybrid is fully reflected in its effects, delivering an intense sativa high that gives way to a soft and mellow indica stone after a bright cerebral burst. Depending on the dosage, this strain can be the ideal companion for responsible users throughout the day. Spending a quiet and unhurried evening alone with your thoughts or in the company of good friends is still the recommended pastime with Maroc.

The predominance of humulene and phellandrene in the terpene profile of the strain, as well as medical CBD and CBG, each contributing 2% of dry matter, ensure gentle therapeutic effects that easily combat inflammation and headaches, alleviate irritability and nervousness, emotional spectrum disorders, insomnia, and loss of appetite.

Cultivation

Due to its stable genetics, resilience, adaptability and endurance, Maroc will be easy to grow even for absolute beginners. Its natural immunity and the protective function of flavonoids will help fend off harmful bacteria and pests. A well-planned watering and feeding schedule will help establish a strict schedule, deviation from which could lead to nutrient imbalances. This makes pH and ppm (EC) control of the nutrient solution and runoff water mandatory at all stages of maturation.

When choosing pots, opt for textile grow bags or plastic airpots with a volume of at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons). Lighting should be provided by full-spectrum LEDs, with a predominance of cool light during the vegetative phase and warm light during the flowering stage. The hybrid will tolerate any type of training. During flowering, pay special attention to ventilation, relative humidity, airflow around and within the canopy.
