Manufacturer: Symbiotic Genetics
CaraCara is a hybrid cross of GMO and Mimosa V6, using the infamous GMO, also known as Garlic Cookies, as its mother. Breeder SkunkHouse Genetics is the breeder of the GMO, and the phenotype selected by Skunkmasterflex became an incredibly popular strain that quickly caught on worldwide thanks to its garlic funk profile.
Symbiotic Genetics crossed this same GMO (which is itself a ChemD x Forum GSC) with their in-house Mimosa V6 and created a strain that smells strongly of Chemd Dog with sweet citrus aromas. However, some individuals smell a little like a mixture of lemons and garlic, so also a little like garlic and sometimes a mixture of mushrooms and onion in combination with lime. Cara Cara is best suited for indoogrowers, it is relatively easy to grow and therefore well suited for beginners.
Lineage: GMO x Mimosa V6 Genetics: mostly Indica Flowering Time: 8 - 11 weeks Smell: Chemdog, sweet citrus fruits THC: 25%
Symbiotic Genetics started in 2014 as a project between two breeders, The Village and The Budologist. From the very beginning, the idea was to build new cannabis lines through careful selection and crossbreeding. Over the years, the name has spread quickly through the cannabis community, mainly because of how popular some of their creations became.
