Mangu Karot aka Zamal – French Touch Seeds

Mangu Karot aka Zamal by French Touch Seeds is an original tropical landrace from La Réunion in the Indian Ocean. This pure Sativa originates from a region with a long tradition of local cannabis genetics and is one of the more unusual landraces in the French Touch Seeds range. On La Réunion, traditional cannabis plants are commonly known as Zamal – a name closely associated with the island's Creole culture and genetics that have been preserved locally for generations.

As a tropical Sativa, Mangu Karot has a long development and flowering period and therefore requires patience as well as sufficient space. Outside subtropical or tropical climates, it is primarily recommended for indoor cultivation, where conditions can be controlled throughout the entire cycle. In a suitable warm climate, however, this landrace can also be grown outdoors and develop its characteristic growth potential. Mangu Karot is therefore particularly interesting for growers and collectors specifically looking for original Sativa genetics and who can accommodate longer cultivation periods.

One of the most distinctive characteristics of Mangu Karot is its unusual aromatic profile, which also gives the strain its name. Intense mango and carrot notes form an exceptional combination that clearly differs from the aromatic profiles of many modern hybrid lines. Its origin on La Réunion, traditional Zamal background and distinctive tropical-vegetal aroma make Mangu Karot a particularly individual old-school Sativa for enthusiasts of original landraces.
