Roots

Roots – Reggae Seeds

Roots by Reggae Seeds is a cannabis strain created by crossing Reina Madre × Kalijah. Reggae Seeds worked on this combination for several years, selecting the genetics with the aim of bringing together the characteristic traits of both parent lines. The result is a distinctive strain that stands out particularly for its unusual aromatic profile and straightforward development.

When grown, Roots develops a vigorous, manageable and comparatively robust plant structure. The strain is particularly suitable for indoor cultivation and is considered straightforward to grow. This makes it interesting for both experienced growers and less experienced cultivators looking for a distinctive genetic without having to deal with particularly demanding cultivation requirements.

According to the breeder, Roots also shows comparatively good tolerance to different conditions when it comes to nutrient supply. Minor fluctuations in fertilisation are reportedly well tolerated, making the genetics even more straightforward to cultivate. Nevertheless, nutrient requirements and the response of individual plants may vary depending on phenotype, substrate and general growing conditions.

The most striking characteristic of Roots is its unusual aromatic profile. Green banana combines with strong earthy and slightly spicy nuances, creating a heavy, intense aroma with a distinctive character. In particular, the unripe and less sweet character of the banana note clearly distinguishes Roots from many modern tropical fruit and Candy genetics. Roots thus combines Reina Madre and Kalijah into a straightforward genetic with a distinctive aroma of green banana and earth.
