Transkei – Love of Landrace

The Transkei Landrace, which originates from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, is a pure sativa that has been cultivated for generations in the remote hills of Pondoland. It is a large, vigorous plant that requires a lot of time and space.

What sets Transkei apart is its wonderful variety of aromas: you'll find terpenes of diesel and spices, pine, citrus fruits and even a hint of aniseed, with each plant having its own character. This landrace typically grows light and airy, which not only reflects its Sativa roots but also helps it resist mould and thrive in harsh conditions. Transkei is uplifting, clear and energetic, offering a creative spark rather than a heavy feeling, making it a great strain for daytime use.
