Estefan

Estefan – Purple City Genetics

Estefan by Purple City Genetics is a powerful mostly Sativa with a distinct old-school character and impressive vigour. This strain is aimed at experienced collectors and lovers of expressive lines with a distinctive terpene profile. The genetics are based on a cross between Sango (Cuban Black Haze x Gush Mints) and the 1987 strain, combining classic Haze characteristics with modern selection.

Estefan develops very large, vigorous plants and shows its full potential especially when grown outdoors – however, it takes a little longer there, which clearly distinguishes it as a strain for the patient and true connoisseurs. Aromatically, Estefan stands out clearly: the terpene profile is characterised by intense incense, metallic Haze notes and a deep, almost raw character that is strongly reminiscent of classic Sativa lines.

Lineage: Sango (Cuban Black Haze x Gush Mints) x 1987
Genetics: mostly Sativa
Flowering: 11 - 12 weeks
Smell: intense incense, metallic Haze

Purple City Genetics – Oakland, California

Purple City Genetics, or PCG for short, has been around since 2008. They are based in Oakland and started out as a cannabis collective. Over the years, as the cannabis scene in the States kept shifting, they adjusted too. These days, they breed for everyone from home growers to large-scale farms, but they still keep their quality standards high. They have picked up plenty of awards along the way at different events and cups. Their strains are easy enough for beginners setups to work with, but experienced growers will get a lot out of them too.

PCG’s catalogue is not just about yield – though they do that well – it is about flavour and potency too. They put out some pretty wild crosses, and their terpene profiles are always something to talk about. Sometimes they release small batch strains that disappear fast, so it is worth keeping an eye out.
