The leaves are broad and waxy, characteristic of its indica heritage, contributing to a robust plant structure with tightly packed calyxes.

Aroma & Flavor

This strain presents a complex aroma dominated by earthy notes, reminiscent of rich soil, layered with subtle herbal, spicy, and pine resin scents. Hints of aged wood and pine are also detectable. The flavor profile mirrors this complexity, starting with spicy and herbal notes that transition into a robust earthy taste, complemented by subtle citrus, lemon zest, and potentially a mild nutty undertone.

Effects

While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes beyond general relaxation and introspection, the indica-dominant genetics suggest a primarily relaxing and potentially sedative experience. The name itself evokes a sense of profound personal journeys, hinting at introspective qualities.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

The terpene profile is noted to be diverse, with Myrcene, Pinene, and Linalool contributing to the aroma. Limonene is also mentioned as being present, reinforcing the citrus notes. This strain typically contains around 15% THC and less than 1% CBD, characteristic of indica varieties with ruderalis influence, accentuating its psychoactive and relaxing potential.

Growing

Ayahuasca benefits from ruderalis genetics, offering auto-flowering capabilities and resilience, making it suitable for various climates and requiring less environmental input. The indica component ensures robust growth and dense bud formation. Studies suggest auto-flowering strains can be more efficient in controlled environments. The strain is noted for its low maintenance and high resilience.
